A Sunny Moment in January!

-
January is a funny month. We have made and maybe broken our New Year's Resolutions, it has been really cold, it has been rainy and snowy and sometimes pretty warm and sunny.

It is a great month to spend stitching with friends. It is a wonderful month for hot spicy soup and nights with  warmth from a fireplace and maybe hot chocolate. 

We have been sewing a lot of new things and some of us are finishing projects that we started some time ago.

These pictures will be a variety of projects done in several different classes.

This in a Maggie Bononami pattern nicely done by Barb


This is also a Maggie B pattern being stitched by Nancy.


This is a pattern design by Sue Sparge and beautifully done by Marcie.


One cute kitty by Karla


Cindy has done this Sue Spargo design in record time. It is spectacular.


This is the back and I'm proud to say I dyed most of the wool


Sue Spargo again, this time done by Marlene.



This beautiful Clothespin bag was made by Susan. It is called a "ditty bag" and has been cross stitched.




Judy is working on a Maggie B pattern and this is just the first of many blocks. It will be quite large when finished.


Sharon is working on this beautiful table mat.


We had a penny rug class and some of us bought kits from

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
