WOW! Look what Carol 'Too' has just finished!! "Penny Path" features a stunning array of wool 'pennies' appliquéd over a muted quilters' flannel background. If you missed seeing this beauty in the Carol's Corner booth at the Nanaimo Quilters' Guild Show the end of May, you're in luck; the finished quilt will be on display this weekend at the Gabriola Quilters' Guild quilt show and sale!!! 🤩

Wondering where I've been? Like our cat, Miss Marbles (aka 'Baggie' for obvious reasons! 🤣), I spent the first week of June a) recovering from the Nanaimo Quilters' Guild show - a roaring success!; and b) suffering in the dark with a 3-day-long migraine thanks to that cold front that blew through. I'm back at the shop, and back to regular posting. Have a great Cat-urday!!! 😸

Sewwwww . . . I'm busy making a set of placemats and matching runner from a new pattern, hoping to get them finished for display in my booth at the Nanaimo Quilt Show May29/30th. The top four strips and triangles went together great! Can you see what's wrong with the next bottom row?!?? 🙃 Sigh! Time to make tea, and break out the seam ripper.

Are you a 'summer time' reader like I am? Instead of sewing after dinner, I relax on our deck with an after-supper-cuppa and a book; it's not unusual for me to fly through 250+ pages per day! Make your - and your family/friends! - reading all the more fun with a Pocket Reading Pillow!!! Pattern for Pocket Reading Pillows in 2 sizes - $18!
