Calabogie and home

It was a great holiday but it's nice to be home too. The quilt show at Picton was fantastic. I was awed at the creativity displayed by the quilters there and amazed at the number of quilts displayed. My dh patiently looked around with me, checked when the demo would be and saved a seat for me while I went outside and ate a snack. The demo was on the mariner's compass and she actually made it look doable. Her pattern was sold at the lqs so off we went to buy one. Of course, I supported some of the vendors at the show, including M. from A.P. I was so impressed by his patience that the next day I went to two museums that he wanted to. I figured that was only fair.

When I got home, I finished the baby quilt for my great-niece. Now, onto my friend's table runner.

Greetings everyone: I'm posting from Calabogie, Ontario. I'm going to a quilt show at Picton tomorrow. My dh even found out about it for me before we left Winnipeg. We will be going into Ottawa and Kingston and going home to Winnipeg through the United States. Does anyone know of any qs's that I should stop and visit? I don't think that Bruce will stop at everyone but he might stop at a few. Barb, is your niece's anywhere near our path? My brain isn't remembering and someone wants the computer so I have to get off.

3 PhDs Done!

3 PhDs done for Myra's 6-month PhD Challenge...Well, I got three out of six done but I'm sure proud of those three. Without the PHD challenge Myra, they would still have been sitting there looking at me unfinished. I'm working on four and five. I was inspired by the challenge and had a lot of fun.

labor of love- help!!

I'm working on a labor of love for my premature great-niece who is now over six pounds. She can come home from the hospital when she eats on her own for three days in a row. Hopefully, that's soon so I need to get her quilt done soon and get a picture up. I have it sandwich and will be doing my first quilting on my new Janome 6500. The machine will be fine. I'm just concerned about the quilter. Please wish me luck.

A finished quilt top...

I love batiks and the kit for this class was in my favorite colors so how could I go wrong? Usually, I do not finish a quilt top from a class but this time I was inspired by M's PHD challenge. It won't be quilted by the end of June but all in good time.

Quilt-as-you-go Table Topper

How can you guess my favorite color is blue? This tablerunner was taught by some ladies in my quilting group at a retreat. You didn't have to make it this big. You could have stopped at two places so if I can find the pattern again, it is re-useable.

Delia's Comfort Quilt

This quilt was made for a special lady, D., in a quilting group that I belong to. I think my block is the two ladies , middle block, second row. I am very proud of my group for doing something like this.
