A Small Finish and Quilt Show

One small finish to show off . . .

. . . another pin cushion.  

Have someone in mind that might receive this.

Last weekend I went to the Quilt Show at Heritage Park in Calgary.

There was lots of eye candy!

As you can see the crowds weren't there as it was threatening rain on the Saturday.

Shortly after I took these pictures it did rain but thankfully it wasn't cold.

It's just such a nice setting to show off quilts.

Here are a couple more of my favourites!

It's so interesting to see the variety colours, skills and patterns.

I like the way the quilter put the stars, hearts, letters and numbers on this quilt.

Lots of ideas and what a fun way to spend with a friend.

Going to link up with AmandaJean at Crazy Mom Quilts.

Enjoy your weekend!

A Little of This . . . a Little of That

Christmas has come and gone and so has the the beginning of 2012.  I hope all had a great holiday  celebrating the wonder of the season.  

My youngest sister has a two year old and my other sister is a foster mom of little children.  Always adds a neat dimension to Christmas celebrations to see things through a child's eye.  They were all so cute!

Thought I would post a picture of my Christmas Tree.  I think it was quite lovely this year.  It's been around the block a time or two but reminds me of a victorian christmas tree.

What would be a Christmas break without a puzzle to do?

I have been busy quilting too . . . here are two cathedral window pin cushions that I whipped up over the break.  They were quick and easy once I got my machine whipped into shape.  Amazing how well a machine will work when it is all cleaned and oiled up with a new needle.  Don't know why I don't do that more often!

I got the tutorial from Kim at My Go-Go Life.  You ought to try your hand at them.

Wishing everyone the best for 2012.  Only look ahead - never back!
