New Year - Dec 26th-31st

Dec 26th

I found the perfect spot for my sign! Beware when entering my quilting place!!! 😘

Well I think I've prepped enough bindings for my Quilt Canada donations and time to get back to my quilting. I've four fabrics basically 1.5 metres each for a total of 3,607 inches, but the two stripes are split by shorter and longer pieces cut on the bias, the two brown/green started off cut on the straight of grain but then switched to cut on the bias and the brown just straight of grain. Hopefully they will be matched where needed!

Well Sylvia did another easy puzzle in a few hours and said to bring one of mine over.  So today I picked her up and we went for quesadillas at Southdale Family Village Restaurant and I took over 3 of my new quilting ones and decided to start on the sewing machine tin one! Gosh they are small pieces but at least odd ball shapes and seems to be good quality pieces to work with. So we started and actually a couple hours in we made a good dent in it!!!

My baby won't stay clean long in this shit!!!

Up and attem, took Edna shopping, picked up treats and flowers for us before heading over for borscht lunch and pizza/wine supper sleep over! Some sewing too!

Well that's a wrap for my hand pieced tumblers made from donated 1.5" squares into rows (didn't even make a dent in the bagful). Once pressed I'll stitch the rows together and assemble and hand quilt it too! This is 7" x 9.5" so might need another row or two once rows are joined to make a rectangular quilt.

WOW!!! After replacing ONE parka zipper I totally refuse to do anymore. So this is on my feed so I know where to go next time!!!

I saw this for the first time last year while having supper with Nancy at Cibo's, I was distracted many times but especially on a couple of slips, thankfully harnessed!!!

To my family and friends wishing you a

Kinda a nice end to 2024 with a visit with Edna and then over to Sylvia's for puzzle setting and Santa Lucia pizza supper while listening to the Jr Hockey game. Too bad Canada lost to USA!!! We finished my Singer sewing one and switched to Sylvia's folksy huge one but forgot to take a picture! We'll be doing that one for awhile!!! Now home and to watch the Jets hockey game. AND caught the fireworks but my pics weren't their best!

But 2025 will be a bit iffy as I have to report to MPI as the person I firmly bumped (no crashing and no major damage to either vehicles) in November put in an accident claim. First letter was sent Dec 2nd which as yet I've not received and a firm reprimanding letter sent Dec 19th was received today! I'll call in Thursday to make an appointment.
