Heritage Happenings…

Pour yourself a coffee and get comfy because the Heritage Quilters have been busy!  They would put Santa’s Workshop to shame…

I’m not going to provide a running commentary as I have things to do, places to go, people to see…in other words, I am off and running!!

ENJOY!!

His and her quilts…

…and the backs!

 

I know…WOW!!  My apologies for not doing these quilts justice!! AND I hope I didn’t overwhelm you!!  SEW many beauties!

I bet these wonderful quilters have inspired you to pick up a needle and thread today! :o)) Wish I could join you…

Have a Sunny Sunday and Happy Stitching!~P

SEW Scrappy Tumbler

Look at what is going on the mid-arm today….

I got the Pfaff back from the Spa yesterday…and need something to practice on before I tackle the special secret ‘stuff’!  If she is going to misbehave, let it be on something that I am going to keep.

I have the backing all ready to roll and need to give this top one more press before I pin it onto the frame!

This is the pattern that I modelled this quilt after…The magazine, ‘Sew Scrappy’ by Better Home and Gardens came out about 3 or 4 years ago.  I loved it then and I love it now! 

There were lots of great quilts in this issue but this one is still my favourite!  There is nothing like a scrap happy quilt!!

My fingers are crossed that a week at the Spa did the trick!! 

Have a Super Stitching Saturday and thanks for stopping by!~P

Meet MC…

Oh man, I am weak!

I was in Canadian Tire yesterday…if you are a Canadian then you know what I mean when I say that this store has EVERYTHING!  Now that Christmas is right around the corner, it’s like Santa’s workshop and MORE in there!!  I have never seen so many rows of Christmas lights and the ornaments are displayed by colour so there were purple sections, turquoise sections, green sections etc…like going to Disneyland for Christmas!  So what came home with me?

Taaah Dah!!  MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ME!!

 

I know…not very Christmasy but she is a beauty none the less!!  Throw a bow and a bell on her and she will be right in there with the those glitzy Christmas trees!

I have wanted one of these for a LONG time…Every year while at The Sands RV Park I head off to the Clubhouse for Quilting…and even though the Clubhouse is within walking distance I drive the truck!  It takes me half an hour and six trips to the truck to unload everything…and then right in the middle of sewing I will realize that I forgot something…so I walk back to the RV to retrieve it….and it’s at this time that I REALLY think of owning one of these babies!!

I mean really… just LOOK at the storage…here are the top two compartments…

…and the side panel pops off with extra storage!

And in both compartments they have these storage trays…

And underneath..two huge storage areas.  Alas…not big enough for the Janome but…enough room for my project and pattern/book!

There are three wheels for rolling and there is a pop up handle…

…and LOOK, guaranteed for a full year!  Canadian Tire is really good at honouring this…so if she doesn’t perform, she is going back! 

Her name has been shortened to MC…(Material Carrier, Mama Crafter, Motoring Cruiser…anything but Mastercraft…care to add YOUR own handle?)

I think she was designed by a quilter…

…yup, she has that look about her!  I hope we make some beautiful quilts together…!  I will keep you posted!! 

This morning I am off on an adventure…it includes a Craft Fair and Thrift Shops…many Thrift Shops!  Dorothy is driving, so I am at her beck and call! :o}}} She loves a good Thrift Store, so I have a feeling we will hit every single one between here and Nanaimo!  Yeehaw!

Have a thrilling Thursday and happy Thrifting…errr… I mean stitching!~P
