1 more sleep

Tomorrow is the start of the Sewcializers Retreat, this year in Tobermory. I'm almost all packed up except for food and clothes. The weather isn't going above 20 so it should be good for staying indoors and sewing. I'm going to take/bring (sorry Pete) my Featherweight.It doesn't get used very much and as Fiona just got one there will be 5 of them there that I know of .In fact I haven't used it in so long that I had to get the book out to see how to thread it. It does such a beautiful stitch and I do have a 1/2" foot for it. But I found the bottom of the carrying case falling off though, so duct tape to the rescue. I'll have to get a new case somewhere. Got the camera so pictures to follow.

A Big Dolly

Charms and White

It's been a while since my last post but have been busy and going on road trips. The St. Mary's show was great as usual and we found a nice shop in Stratford-Ye Olde Quilt Shoppe. Last week was the Ailsa Craig show of Quilts of Denmark. It was terrific, on par with the Netherlands from last year, good food too. And I forgot my camera both times. A lot of really nice arty quilts were shown. Someone at today's guild meeting had an arty block in red and greens that she made at a workshop there. And a lot of beautiful projects were shown at the guild  show and tell. I showed the Clifford from the last post and donated it to Linus. My first show and tell but the members are so nice and supportive that I didn't feel intinidated. Joanne did a trunk show of her prolific quilts, big ones, small ones and litty bitty ones.

This quilt for Scrapbags is last month's dolly quilt. It's waaay too big for a dolly but will make a nice crib quilt.


 This one is made from a charm pack that I  half squared with white after seeing online somewhere what to do with those charm packs. I think I'll keep it for  that day when a little girl quilt is needed..

A Little Dolly

The bottom one is made from a block that was found in a bag of donations at Scrapbags. It is a little dolly.

The Sewcializers retreat is coming up fast. I do have my projects ready I think. It's in Tobermorey so no early morning ferry trips are involved.
