Another friendship block that I will take to my guild meeting in Sept.
It was a grey day most of today and then it just poured really hard. Now it is done and the sun is trying to come out.
My son Chris just got back from Europe. Sounds like he had a great trip.
Today I was working on a wheelchair quilt with the foundation blocks that I'm always making.

This is a friendship block for a guild member. She provided the pattern and the rose 2" squares. I'll take it to our next meeting which is in Sept.
Just finished working my 5 evening shifts. I now get 2 days off. Plan on staying home tomorrow. I need to get my quilts ready for the quilt show this weekend.
Hope to get some sewing done as well. I was in bed but did fall to sleep to got up to ready emails.
I'm on my second cup of hot water so guess I should go to bed soon. It's 12:25 am.
Happy quilting,
:)Carol

This picture is the blue version of Bragg Creek storm. I actually have 6 done but one is on my wall for a sample as I am working on the blocks, so I didn't get it into the picture.
Hubby took today off work so we slept in. I'm still working evenings tonight. So I will leave at 2pm to get there on time.
Last night was a very nice evening at work. Some of our residents had been at the Calgary Zoo. They didn't get back till 4:30 so it was a bit rushed after supper because they were more tired then normal and all in a hurry to go to bed.
Well, I guess I should go and make myself some breakfast. Talk later.

Picture is the block I have been having so much fun with over the last few days. It is addictive. Pattern is by Wayne Kollinger.
It is just so much fun. We had him do a trunk show at our June meeting/potluck. It was just wonderful. I bought one of his patterns called Bragg Creek Storm. I just love making it and just looking at it when finished. I think that I'll make the 3 pink/purple blocks into a table runner. The blue ones that I am working on now will be a quilt.
I sewed for a couple of hours this morning. Now I have to start and get ready for work this afternoon. I am just so excited
about these blocks.
Happy quilting everyone.

Happy Canada Day
Well, I did get some sewing done over the last couple of days. I am addicted to the piecing for the blocks by Wayne Kollinger.
I just love doing them. I have made 3 in pink and purple and got 5 done in blues. The 6th one is almost all cut out.
Pattern of his that I am using is called....Bragg Creek Storm. I just love to look at it after it is together. I will post a picture as soon as I get around to uploading my camera. Won't be today as I have to get ready for work in a few minutes.
I have a dentist appt before work so have to leave home at noon.
Happy quilting everyone.

quilted cake

This is a picture of a wonderful cake that was made by one of my guild members for our June potluck. It tasted pretty
good too.
I actually been getting some sewing done. I've gotten 3 friendship blocks made for the guild. I am still a few behind. I now belong to a connecting threads group that is doing a birthday swap. There are 20 members. I have 5 blocks done for that.
I have finished the 12 blocks for my guild challenge and now have to decide how to put them together. They are laying out
on the family room floor and I spend time looking at them anytime I go to my sewingroom to sew. What to do, what to do.
Hope everyone is doing good. Happy quilting.

OOps, guess I should have gone to the blog first to see the last message. Shows I really like this cake
second picture added is a sunset from our deck.

quilted cake

Isn't this a wonderful cake. One of our guild members made it for our potluck, last night. It tasted great too.
I took my Mom to the potluck. The food was great. We had a guest speaker. Quilter, Wayne Kollinger. What a trunk show.
He designs his own quilts and teaches. He has a book coming out very soon on how to design quilts. I would suspect that our guild will try to get him to do a class or two in the coming year. He also has pieced alot of different alphabets. Not paperpieced.
I went on a nursing course today. My Mom and Dad left as I went off to my course. They are now on their was home. It sure was nice to have them here.
Happy quilting,

:)Carol
