I got mail…and it was the BEST kind of mail…yup the kind I can share with YOU!

Synthia (remember my blogging friend from Oregon…I met her last week for coffee…What?  You forgot ALREADY?  Well you can go HERE to refresh your memory!)…anyways…Synthia sent me pictures of the project that she is working on …and it is stunning!

It’s called ‘Summer’ by Primitive Gatherings.  It’s wool applique done on mottled beige cotton!!  LOVE it!!  It reminds me of ‘Summertime’ by Lisa from Primitive Gatherings…they REALLY must like Summer!! 

Yes Synthia really knows her stuff…just look at those stitches!!  Lovely!!

Oh….and I just HAVE to share Synthia’s recent SCORE!!  They had a Silent Auction fund raiser at their Clubhouse and she ‘won’ this travel sewing case for only $3!!  BUT wait it gets better…AFTER she paid for it, she opened it to discover ALL this sewing LOOT!!

Gwen and Siena are driving… we have TWO vehicles this year and both are full to capacity!!  SEW far no one needs to be strapped to the roof…yet!

If you have never been to Road to California Quilt Show and would like to SEE what it’s like, then you NEED to view last year’s show…it blew my socks off!!  (See pic.. no socks on those feet!!:)

  3. I thought Synthia's blocks had ruched flowers on them. I see now that it must be done with thread stitches over the wool. Very pretty.

  10. Have fun at the Road to California- we have more than socks on right now on our feet- more like tights and long johns. The mercury has dipped to -30+ windchill.. No outside recess for us this week- Nothing like children and cabin fever- LOL
    Enjoy the show..
    Regards,
    Anna

  13. Synthia's "score" must be the reward for doing beautiful work like that.

    Have fun at the show, and I'll look forward to reading all about it afterwards. If only I'd thought of it earlier, I bet I could have come up with a shopping list for you too.
