View From My Window

This is what greeted me this morning. " A Winter Wonderland " ... an early start to our winter . This is more than we had all last year.

A Quick Christmas Craft

Today I taught my ladies group a new craft for Christmas. White Sheep Farm had posted a Quick Craft"Crochet Stars." 

 It went together easily and they all enjoyed it. These are some of the finished stars. Some used twine, crochet cotton,yarn & a cotton yarn. I think they did a great job !

Thank-You White Sheep Farm for another tutorial !!!!

Pumpkin Pincushion

A little pin keep I made from the Primitive Quilts & Projects Magazine  Fall 2012. I always find lots of inspiration in them.

Sometimes I like a quick project before I tackle something that will take more time.

Getting Started

Its been a long time since I have done counted cross stitch ; but I decided to give it a go when my friend asked if I knew how. Since we are going to try one together; I thought I had better hone up on my skills.  You know... with a good size magnifier it wasn"t as hard as I remember.This will look totally different once I get it finished & antiqued. Until then......

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Wishing everyone a very happy Halloweeen!!!!

Guest Lecturer

After reading Heather Stewarts  Quilting Blog the other day about her being a guest lecturer at a quilt show, I decided  I would take the opportunity to go and listen to her. Wow! I was so thrilled to be there. My GD came along with me and we were in for  a real treat. I am only sorry I wasn 't there for all 4 demos by Heather.Saturday afternoons lecture was a Trunk Show with Heather telling us how she started sewing at a very young age. She even had her very first quilt there.She has really came a long way since then.We all have to start somewhere.There was so much love in the story about her  Sons quilt; it  brought tears to my eyes as did the one about "Beethoven Love Letters Quilt" she made. She had us all laughing too about an Interview that took place on her farm.  I don 't want to give everything away. I 'm just saying  " If you ever are fortunate enough to hear this Highly Talented Lady speak"... go for it. You will not be dissappointed!
There were lots of quilts to view, vendors to visit, a draw table and great lunch room too.
