Hi Ladies, I’m please to report a VERY good week, even though I was crazy busy with the business and several 1am nights (well 2 to be exact) I still feel great.
Monday started with our cut-off on Journey of a Quilter. When we first started this Block of the Month I had 10 sign up – then I got another 13 – then I got another 2 – so that’s 25 in total. We were hoping for 30 and would love for you 5 to come on over and join us!! I hope to mail out the first round of kits to everyone next week so the people that sign up now will be a couple weeks behind on your first kit only…there are some great prizes…
Tuesday is one of those days I will always remember. The Olympic Torch came through my little town of Chestermere, Alberta – just East of Calgary. I invited my sister Lisa and her two boys. We had so much fun! What a sense of community and being Canadian – I always love a good dose of both:)
I have maple leafs on my mitts but I wish I had a pair of the Olympic ones 🙂
here it is…lights, camera, action…awesome!
they released white doves, such a sign of peace & hope for the best days to come.

After we had a bit of a hot drink, we just spent the day outside, the boys played and we visited – what a beautiful day, LOVED it!
I still had a pile of stuff to do on Tuesday, so when I got home I worked on this adorable bag I made to teach a class Wednesday night…Cathedral Windows tote bag, lined with silks and topped off with a fringe.
as you can see I’m not quite finished adding my little squares…but working on it!
don’t you just love it? It’s perfect to put your Journey of a Quilter block into and take with you 🙂
Wednesday, I taught part one of this class on and it was a success – thanks to Lakeside Girls. I brought the silks for people to pick a colour to line their bags – and they loved the silks – I was so happy!!
I also was a Guest Blogger on Quilting Gallery’s website, and I got two more guest blogging requests – how fun will these be?

This is the block that gave me so much frustration last week, thought I would share it with you. I’m still not happy with the final turnout…99 pieces.
3 paper pieced house blocks…”lights are on” come on in for a cup of hot Quilters Tea 🙂
I also worked on the Kitten’s Tale Block of the Month AND I cut out the second block to Journey of a Quilter…how was your week, I would love to hear from you!
Until next time, have a happy, creative and Canadian spirited day!!
