Got to Love it!!

You got to love this group…that’s the Heritage Quilters…with just a few days till Christmas over 50 ladies came out strong…to stitch, talk, eat and be merry!!  The only time this group doesn’t meet is if Christmas Day falls on a Monday!

Meet Fran…she has been lovingly working on this quilt for a long time!  It’s a Christmas gift for her son and his wife!  What a visually stunning quilt! 

Fran hand quilted inside each snowflake…in a soft smoky blue…gorgeous small iddy biddy stitches!

This quilt is stunning and can be kept out all winter long…

They are going to love this quilt and will give the term having a “Snow Day” a whole new meaning!! :o)

Look at what Delores received for her ‘special’ birthday!!  Her sister-in-law made this lovely apron out of left over blocks and scraps from a quilt that she had made! 

Look at the fabric..the print has the little nesting dolls on it!!  SEW sweet!  AND what a great way to use up extra blocks and scraps!!  And note the lovely silver Quilter’s Pin- another gift that Delores received…yes it was a VERY ‘special’ birthday!!

This is a pillow top that Delores has been working on for one of her daughters!  Isn’t it beautiful?!  She followed Allison’s tutorial on Cluck. Cluck. Sew. Blog and said it was very easy…and isn’t it cute!!  Delores made one for each of her three daughters!!  Lucky girls!  (This would be a good GO! project if you have the Circle Dies…I’m just sayin’…)

And Carol was busy putting the binding on her lovely trapunto runner!!  She took the mini workshop a couple of weeks ago..and did a fantastic job!!

Carol is pointing out and explaining the process of Trapunto…if you would like to know more then go here…there are some great videos on the net showing this form of quilting.  Man, what did we do before we had computers…

Let’s see..before for computers…hmmm…well for one thing, my house was a lot cleaner!!  :o)

My daughters made it safe and sound to Vancouver yesterday and spent the night with the middle daughter…When they phoned to say they had arrived safe and sound I could hear the laughing, squealing and giggling in the background…Some things just never change…Poor Maggie’s boyfriend…sure hope he survives their visit! 

I am off to Victoria to drop off gifts, have coffee with my friend Claire and hit Costco (ugh!)  Hope you have a lovely, stress free day!!

Have a terrific Tuesday and  happy Quilting!~P
