Post Number 2

When I spoke of likeing Sue Spargo designs, this is a sample. This quilt is called "Flower Bed" and I have completed two and am working on number Three. I like the small blocks and find each one of them fun to embellish. Beads and ribbon and rick rack have taken over several containers so as to have many choices. All kinds of threads are useful to add touches of color and unique embroidery stitches. If you are looking for a smallish size quilt to try out your wool skills, this is a good one to begin on.

I have a class at Pioneer Quilts that is called The Spargonians....a combination of Spargo and Oregonians. We meet once a month on the last Sat. of the month from 11:30-2:30 to work on whatever Sue Spargo project you are currently working on. It is great for inspiration and encouragement. We just had a birthday party this last Sat. for our mentor, Sue. Join us anytime.

This book is called Book of Days and it is a template for making a handmade book that you can use for a journal or planner or make it for someone special. I am teaching this next Monday. It is fun to do and you can personalize it in so many different ways. Call Pioneer Quilts, 503.654.1555

Camping in the Rain

 Hello Everyone,  We went camping at Barview Jetty a little while ago and it rained almost all the time we were there! On the way it was necessary to stop here at our favorite fish shop! Best shrimp, sauce, and clam chowder that we have found.  Excellent. We went there on the way to camp and on the way home. Even thought it rained so much, the clouds were spectacular. The sand had some cool patterns We had friends that camped next to us and we ate really well.  Some reading and stitching were also part of our days. A couple weeks ago we went to McIver park to camp. Again it rained almost the whole time we were there. Same friends kept us entertained and we continued with our eating really well. This is a reflection in the lake of the sun trying to come out. Mamma ducks and babies were enjoying the break in the rain. We have found out that our beloved Oscar has Prostate cancer and Cushings disease. It's a sad blow as we lost both our Silkies last year. We don't know how long we

Coming out of hibernation

 I decided it was time to bring my blog back to life. I thought about it for some time and decided it would be so nice to connect with friends again even if it's just with words. I have mostly enjoyed being at home and catching up with reading and sewing. My Etsy shop is doing well and I would like to share some of the things that are currently available.                                        I bought this tin in The Netherlands when I was recently there visiting my daughter and her family. They took me to a very cool old antique shop and they have Lots of tins. The shop had so many things that I would have liked to take home. But Not possible. This is another one! It's been fun finding things to put in the sewing boxes. They are listed in my Etsy shop thequiltingbshop.Etsy.com There are lots of size 12 Valdani Thread available too. A few of the ones that I just listed I brought home some beautiful French floss that is paired up with some wool squares and some that are listed
