O Canada!

This is Canada’s 150th Birthday year! Oh Canada! A sesquicentennial year, try saying that a few times. Not only is a year of celebration, it is also the time for reflection on the treatment of our First Peoples of Canada. Reconciliation.

We enjoyed the day with friends and family for BBQ, good times had by all. Aren’t these cupcakes glorious for a celebratory day? Delicious indeed!

Decorating ideas can be found here.

Sewing Machine

Happy Sewing Machine Day!!!!

20170302_114804

This is my main machine I use for piecing, I have several though. What is it with quilters and sewers, we seem to accumulate machines and fabric as if there is no tomorrow! I was working on my giant (king) size quilt, which I have completed and am using on my bed. Finally, says the old hubster, he’s only ever wanted one since forever (for the king bed), well since I started to quilt.

Here is a picture of the plus quilt. Inspiration is from Stina. She posted an easy to follow tutorial on the plus quilt here, (the best plus quilt pattern I have seen).

The quilting pattern , Water Drops is from SunStone Quilting and Designs This is a fabulous modern quilting design. It comes in two densities, one which is less dense and looks great on smaller quilts. Natalia Majors is one of several, wonderful modern quilt pattern designers.

Before I leave this post, here is another one of my machines, one of five featherweights. (I will not buy any more featherweights – let’s see how long this will last!)

 

20170303_124145Notice the Remembrance Poppies quilt pattern on the machine table, I will be making this quilt later this fall, in time for Remembrance Day, if all goes well. Enjoy. ๐Ÿ™‚

Refugee (Welcome) Quilts

During the winter months of 2017, three quilters came together and started to assemble a collection of quilts for refugees. Through generous donations from local quilters the task to move this project forward ensued. All three of us belong to a private longarm group and met via the group to start this endeavour. Each one of owns a Gammill Statler Longarm computerized quilting machine and we completed the quilts using our machines. It was a fun and rewarding project.

Here are some picture of quilts donated in May 2017.
