Happy Thanksgiving

Just a quick note to wish my American friends a Happy Thanksgiving.

Bye for now.

Denise of Chatham, Ontario, sent me a photo of her completed "Vintage Tiles Revisited" block One. Isn't it fabulous!
If you have missed it, the 1st block of "Vintage Tiles Revisited" can still be downloaded at Lecien's site here

http://www.lecienusa.com/blockofmonth/

The 2nd block will be available for download sometime next week.

I would love to see photos of your blocks, if anybody would like to share them with us, email your photo to me and I will post it on my blog.

Bye for now.

Vintage Tiles Revisited

I have discovered I goofed in the material requirements for the background fabric, I advised 8 yards, when it should be either 7 yds, (if you like to have some extra in case of miscuts or other mishaps), 6 1/2 if you don't. I like to have the extra, especially when the project is spread out over a year, just in case the fabric is sold out. Lecien will be correcting their files.

Please accept my apology.

Vintage Tiles Revisited

Just thought you might like to see the new design I've been working on, using some of Lecien's fabulous taupe fabrics. This is "Vintage Tiles Revisited" and it is being offered as a free Block of the Month on Lecien's web site here http://www.lecienusa.com/home/

The first block is available now.

Edit: The patterns for "Vintage Tiles Revisited" are no longer available as a free download, however the complete pattern can now be purchased from me for $25.00 Can.
I still haven't been able to settle on a new winter project. I think I've lost my mojo! I hope I find it soon.

Bye for now.

Charity Quilts

With everything that has been going on with Mom this past summer, I haven't been able to get myself in gear, and settle on a new winter project. I've sorted through my stash, hoping I'd find a fabric that would motivate me, but instead I came across a few "what was I thinking!" fabrics.

Since they are perfectly good fabrics, I've decided to use them to make charity quilts for the guild.

Here are photos of the first two quilt tops.



Since I'm no good at machine quilting I'm hoping someone at the guild will quilt them, and they will bring some joy to a child somewhere.

There isn't much new on the home front. Mom is doing okay, some days a bit better than others, but we are managing. Fortunately, CCAC has given me 3 hours a week, so someone comes in to stay with Mom and I am able to get out for a bit.

Thank you everyone for your emails and messages of support, and though I'm not always able to reply, it really means a lot to me.

Bye for now.

Happy Thanksgiving

Just a quick note to wish my fellow Canadians a Happy Thanksgiving.

Bye for now.
