Going to Groningen

-
Time is flying towards Tuesday when I leave to see Jennifer and Hugo in The Netherlands. Getting lots of hand sewing together and some knitting to keep me occupied on the plane ride.

Groningen, The Netherlands


University of Groningen




This is Doesburg, a city I hope to visit while there.


Anne Frank House

There are so many things that I want to see. I will share lots of pictures when I return. I plan to be back on September 26. Just in time to begin our Journey #2 with the Prairie Women Sewing Circle on the 28th.. If you haven't already signed up, please do. I think it will be even better than last year. Here is a picture of  the first little quilt that we will make.

Journey Two Front Cover

It is a friendship quilt and I have several of the blocks made, ready to get your signatures. I will have sample blocks at the Open House at Pioneer Quilts tomorrow, Sunday September 8. Please come.

Our first Prairie Women Class will be September 26 from 10-11. That day is also Spargonian Day! We have such a good time in this class. Many of us work on the same project, but you can choose any Sue Spargo design. This is what many of us will be doing:


IMPERIAL BLOOMS BOOK

Friday October 4 at my Studio is our next group class. It is the one that met at Quilter's Corner before they closed. You are welcome to come sew with us. Bring show n tell and what ever you want to work on. I make a light lunch for us.

Saturday October 5 will be the next time we meet at my Studio to work on a project out of Primitive Quilts and Projects. We are going to make the Herb quilt in the Summer 2011 magazine. This class is from 10-2 with lunch provided.

Classes at my home are $10.00

Right before I leave we will have Girl Gang at Pioneer Quilts, Monday September 9 from 10:30 to 1. You can always come and see what we are working on.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I am excited to share my experiences with you when I get back. It will be nice to see my child and her husband!

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
