Upcoming classes

On Thursday August 8 from 10-2 there will be a pincushion class at my studio. Here is a picture of the primitive doll pincushion.

Well, actually I can't show you! If you would like to see her, email me and I'll send you a picture. I am not being coy! I just can't get it to show up! Once again my skills are lacking. We will make a different pincushion every month. Sharon C has a great collection of pincushion patterns so we can go on for years!!

We have been working on


this project out of  the fall issue of Primitive Quilts and Projects. Our next class on Saturday August 31 from 10-2 we will tackle 


from the Anniversary issue Summer 2012. I'd love you to join us.  All classes at my house are $10.00 Includes a light lunch.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



For the Prairie Women's Sewing Circle, this Sat. at 10 am, you will receive the pattern for our yoyo quilt. Here is  mine in progress.


I think an actual doll quilt with just yoyos would be very sweet. If you have any yoyo quilts or other projects, please bring them to class and share.

********************************************

I have finished the basket quilt that I taught earlier in the spring. The pattern is by Nancy Friesen. She makes great patterns and it was very satisfying to make. Now to quilt it.



&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&


Starting in September I will be having a class making Buttermilk Basin's new patterns called Live Simply. There is a background to make and then monthly smaller quilts to add on. This is my first one. The crow part attaches on with small velcro dots.


They are fun to do and are a great little monthly project. Time will be announced a little later. I think it would be fun to start January in September so that by January, we will be ready to hang them up. Please let me know what you think. 


I thank all of you who come to the classes here and at Pioneer Quilts. I feel such happiness sharing stitching with kindred spirits.

Until next time,

Betty

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
