The Heritage Finale…

There was SEW much sharing at Heritage that it is taking me TWO days to cover it all!  I guess that means that there will be lots to put under the tree this year!

Let’s continue on with the show…

Here’s Hazel with her massive (king size) airplane quilt made with love for her bachelor son…the airplane engineer!(he has a fancier job title but I will be darned if I can remember what it is?)  One thing I DO know is… he is going to LOVE this quilt!

Glynis has solved her problem nicely on this little mat…Have a look at her tree…If you remember, you couldn’t REALLY the tree in the snowstorm…so she went over her embroidery stitches with a darker green wool thread…see how the right side of the tree just pops now!!  Problem solved…and a fairly easy solution!  I love this little quilt!

And Jodi is going to SCORE huge brownie points with her son’s girlfriend as this is what she made her for Christmas!!  I think Jodi must REALLY like her as this quilt is GORGEOUS!!  (Mothers have subtle ways of letting their sons know that this one is ‘special’…:))

SEW tons happening in our ‘little’ Quilt Guild!!  It’s always a bee hive of activity with lots of sweet projects being produced!

That’s it for this week!  We had a blanket of SNOW fall yesterday which caused havoc on our roads…more importantly it prevented my Christmas visit with my sister! :(  Darn!!  I always look forward to our visits…we walk, talk, stop for coffee, walk and talk some more!!  Always good for the soul…I’m so lucky to have her in my life!

Thanks for stopping by…have a FUN Friday and take time to smell the coffee!  Nothing like it!~P

  1. The Heritage quilters are always a feast for the eyes. Especially love the yo yo wreath. So cute. We had a bit of snow here in Saanichton. Sunny today, but soooo cold. I'm sure you're counting the hours until you leave this freezing weather.

  2. The snowman quilt is cute as can be. I am on a snowman kick of late. But seriously, that snowman could use some plastic surgery for those noses. Oh so long (and cute) carrot noses.

  3. I think you're planning an early Christmas with your family this weekend before flying off to the south, so I hope the snow hasn't messed things up too much and that you have a great time.
