Memory Quilt

 This  is called "Plackets & Pockets".  I  found I was doing a lot of  'membering' while quilting this Memory quilt.  I did a right angle meander, and was
able to avoid  the odd bumpy bit created by a pocket or a placket.  It was well constructed and sewed up nicely.

And another trip down memory lane, I entered our local Fall Fair 

Here it is finished, spring of 2010.

This one is for Irene's Birthday, It was finished in time for the Fall Fair, and she hasn't had her next birthday so all is good.

Both of these quilts received prizes.












I also entered a wall hanging and table runner...more winners!  I ROCK  :))
Happy Day.

Back at work....Star Sampler

  

 

Summer is over in a flurry of activity and then back to quilting.....
The colours in the photo, do not do this quilt  justice, the red is a very rich colour and the blue/green is one of those happy colour surprises it just don't show in these photos....

 Lots of stitch in the ditch, filler stitch and filled vine in the red sashings.  It's a lovely piece, on either side.

Happy Tuesday,

What I did on my Summer Vacation

I took these two characters with me

Mostly we sailed.

Absorbed  the beauty of the region

It was a vacation more then satisfactory on all counts.

I hope yo'all get some time away.
Happy Birthday Andrew!

New Beginnings

The first day of the rest of my life.. those cute sayings seem so appropriate today.
First day of having an empty nest....last one flew (no pun intended)  to Sweden yesterday to start a new life as a teacher in Gavle, Gavleborg, Sweden. That's along way from Southern Georgian Bay, On., Canada.

Saturday I waited  for movers, today I wait some more....other one has moved from the temporary fully furnished lodgings to a dirty apartment that has a new bed, sleeping bag, pillow and clothing, there awaiting 'stuff''.  I have to say it is an  Organizational crapshot....could be worse  I do my thing by pointing out that one could be under a bridge with a card board box.   One needs to keep oneself,  'UP" in these most annoying days.
This is really just little crap...keep smiling.
