OPAM~The Midget is done…binding on and sleeve sewn to the back…so this is the first OPAM finish for July!! Whew!! It’s always a relief to get at least one finish for the month!! Sew sweet…this little guy measures 20” by 16 ”!
Oh Darlene~ Look what I found in yesterday’s mail…it just rolled out…
..and landed right in my flower garden…and what a gorgeous bouquet of COTTON BLOSSOMS it is! LOVE IT!!! This is a my BIG win from Darlene (Quilting Daze)..it’s my first ever Jelly Roll…from the Moda line called Cotton Blossoms and I must say these are all MY colours!! I LOVE IT!! The burgundy, greens and browns…did I mention HOW MUCH I love them!! Thanks so much Darlene!! I am planning on making the BIG guy with it!!..from Darlene’s pattern called “Between Friends!” This quilt REALLY will be “Between Friends” so thank you,Darlene!!
Oh What a Day~ Look what we did yesterday!! Hayley and I took an early ferry over to Vancouver…Maggie, my middle daughter, picked us up and we spent a lovely day walking around this spectacular city!! Loved every moment of it!!
We saw whales jumping while on the ferry…they are like my dogs…as soon as I snap the photo they disappear…but trust me they were there!! And they were magnificent!
We walked around Kitsilano where Maggie lives, did some shopping…then walked to Granville Island…where we shopped some more..
Took a shuttle boat across the harbour…spectacular views!!
and other sights….
Notice the blue skies and sun!!!! Turned into a gorgeous SUMMER DAY!!
We docked at Yaletown and then WALKED and window shopped…all the way to Pacific Centre Mall where we shopped some more…
Then we took a City bus back to Maggie’s apartment…
Can you read my mind? Yup, MY DOGS ARE BARKING! (Translation~ my feet hurt!!) I’ve had it! I’m pooped!
Have a wonderful Wednesday and happy Quilting!! P

What a lovely day with your daughters. I love the lunch pictures Paulette.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice jellyroll- I have never bought one of those nor have I won one. Perhaps one day. I am sure that you will create something beautiful with it.

Sounds like a wonderful day, but oh how are your feet today?
ReplyDeleteThe scenery around you looks beautiful and I would love to visit your city and ride on the ferries - I love the water and boats.
Looks like you had a wonderful time with your daughters!:) Loved the beautiful pictures! It is sooo pretty out where you live! Hope you have a great day!:)
ReplyDeleteAh, I almost feel that I was there! Great blogging! Summer is the time to take the best of pics isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about whales and dogs. I have the same experience.
I love jellies, they make great nine patch quilts. I'm just doing my nine patch for the summer. I make one each year at the cottage. I love the look!
Your post brought back memories of a previous vacation. And I LOVE Granville Island. On that particular vacation, I remember thinking how UNFAIR it was to visit Granville Island AND Pikes Place Market in Seattle and not be able to buy anything to cook!
