This and That Thursday...

Geeze this week is flying by!  How can you slow down the days and savour the moment, when they go by in a whiz?  While I contemplate time...or rather the lack of time... why don't you contemplate how much my friends, Sandy and Glynis are getting done!  They must use their time wisely!

First up is Glynis...Glynis made the Improv Winter Trees...using Kaffe Fassett's solids and it is stunning!


 It was a gift for her daughter who just loved it!

And a close up of the quilting...

 Glynis also finished her Winter Wonderland...this is a Norma Whaley pattern and it is DDG!  Trust me the camera DID NOT do this one justice!  This was a kit put together by Norma and her choice of fabrics was wonderful!  There is wool applique here and there...just enough to give it texture and sparkle!  Go HERE to see Norma's Timeless Traditions Patterns and kits..exquisite!!

Glynis also FMQ this herself and did a wonderful job!  

This one is all ready to hang for Winter!

More close-ups!



Glynis also finished this Kim Diehl table topper...

It is a combination wool applique stitched onto cotton.  

 This is going to look wonderful on Glynis kitchen table as it is so bright and cheerful!
Yup...no flies on Glynis!!


Nor on Sandy either!  Sandy put the last stitch into this wool runner and let me tell you, it is wonderful!  Sandy outdid herself!
And a close-up...
                                                    
And Sandy also finished this CHRISTMAS GIFT - two and a half months early...and it is a brute! Queen size...so she had Hazel quilt it... and, as usual, Hazel did a beautiful job!   Sandy used Barbara Brackman's 'Ladies' Album' fabric for this quilt and is it gorgeous!  Warm and inviting...the perfect bed quilt!

Her son and DIL are going to be over the moon with this one on their bed!


Well done ladies!  It looks like you two have no problems with your 'time'...Maybe if I spend less time in front of the computer and more time in front of my sewing machine I would get more done too!   {Yowzers!  Have you discovered Instagram yet?  NOW that's a whole other kettle of fish!  A real time sucker! But such FUN! ...And then there's Pinterest...and FB...yup... My name is Paulette...and I have a problem...:o} 

Have a thrilling Thursday and happy stitching!~P
