Earrings

 Good morning ladies,

Here are two pairs of earrings I have made. One is a brick stitch around a pair of simple hoops and the other is loops on thread. The triple loops were definitely the easier of the two. I’m trying a couple different tutorials for a wide fringe but it’s making me crazy so it may have to wait until later. Keep up the creativity! Her

Vintage Lace

What does a teacher do when she realizes summer is over as of Thursday??! 

She works at finishing as many quilts as she can!! 

I started the Vintage Lace quilt in 2020! 

One of the quilters that was in the test group pointed out I had an error! Imagine that!! 

Anyways, I fixed it and kept going. This one has sat on the shelf because I used the turquoise material to finish something else and had to order more. Just order more - sounds so easy! Let me tell you, it wasn’t!! It took a while to find enough to finish the front and for the back! I found some and finally got the top finished. 

Here’s the finished product: 




It was a little windy when I was trying to take a picture. 

I have to wait for my roll of batting to arrive before I can quilt this and put it in my bed. 

I may add a small 3 inch border before I quilt it. Not 100% sure yet!! 

Next project?? Maybe some paper piecing or maybe finish another quilt!! 

Happy Sunday!

More flowers

 Good afternoon ladies,

   I just wanted to share more flowers I have done. One is a rainbow pride for my secretary, whose daughter’s wife is a Métis youth advocate, and the next is inspired by the colours of the Ukrainian flag for my Great Aunty Gena who came for a visit from B. C. ( I couldn’t find the exact blue so I went with aqua). The third is for my friend Helen who got a permanent principal position this year finally, it’s her school’s colours. My new skill is edging with beads to finish. What’s up in your worlds?  Her
