There was no stitching for me yesterday…I had laundry to do…AGAIN! What’s with all the dirty clothes!?? Sheeesh!! I guess at home I don’t really notice ‘doing’ laundry…I just do it in between ‘things’. So while the clothes were going through the different cycles I started a book…and couldn’t get my nose out of it! I spent the rest of the day in a lawn chair reading….Now back home I would NEVER do this…guess this is what “holidaying” is all about!! Guilt free…doing WHATEVER you want to do…within reason of course!
I even took yesterday off from Blogging!! Let’s blame it on the Yoga…I have to be there by 8:15am and I was too tired the night to write my post…
Let’s get back to quilting~ The Clubhouse was a hive of activity on Wednesday…Gwen has completely finished…
her wall hanging…she is having it professionally quilted when she gets home. I wasn’t able to get the name or the designer for you as Gwen didn’t bring the pattern with her…sorry! But one things for sure, it is SPECTACULAR!!
Isn’t this pretty? I think Anne from Alberta made this….
She also made this one…Anne is one busy quilter and LOVES batiks.
Anne flew home for a funeral and brought back a bunch of her quilts… we just found out that we are having a quilt show in the main clubhouse in February! Got to get busy!!
Penny started off making herself a table runner for Spring and ended up…
..making two more for her DILs! Lucky them!
Roxanne is making these sweet little blocks for a quilt for her grand daughter…she is going to love it!
The new girl, Peggy is just starting this quilt…looking good!
Gina is whipping up aprons left, right and centre….
Gwen is ‘hoping’ for a Grand Child…SOON!! She is making some baby quilts just in case….
And look at what Penny started to do…she hauled the Clubhouse Light Box out and is tracing her stitchery pattern onto cotton…she will probably have it finished by next Wednesday!
While we were busy working…the UPS man dropped this off for ME!! How sweet of him!!
I had ordered 3 yards of black wool and a yard of brown for my Settler’s Pride Quilt! I was thrilled with the wool…the PERFECT weight!! Not too heavy and not too light…JUST RIGHT!!
And Goldilocks lived happily ever after!!
(I ordered the wool from Dorr’s Wool…it’s called Wool Coating- perfect for Penny Rugs and runners…and a great price! Check it out!)
Have a Super Saturday and Happy Quilting!~P
Gwen's quilt is spectacular! Thanks for sharing Paulette!
ReplyDeleteI love dorr wool, wish I could get up there.

I am taking a day off too, I need a brain break, so hitting the prims and antique barn.
