Tig (222)

So here’s to you cat lovers out there…and to my best quilting pal in the whole wide world – Tig my sweet kitty who’ll be 10 this year (how old do cats live anyway?) 

Most any given day you can find her snuggle in some little slice of sun…

she’s usually up for a photo opp also 🙂

 

Tigs (154)

A quick post today as I’m buried in all sorts of goodies for my upcoming Travellng Quilt Store Oct 2, yes I know it seems like weeks away but hey I like to be prepared sooo I’m cutting, kits, twists and twirls (you’ll see what these look like shortly) trying to finish and plan block of the months for next year, if interested vote for the upcoming ones you would like to join in.

Also, Tig’s been active in the Studio, loving every minute of the progress around here and of course lounging every once in a while and testing out the new projects…

This is my class sampler of Kites for Kids – starting Sept 27 through Chinook College. Doesn’t she look like a little princess? I hope I get to the quilting soon, it’s pinned and ready as you can see 🙂

Open House and A Kittens Tale flub (129)

Hi Everyone and welcome back to Val’s Quilting.

Our Open House was a huge success so thanks to everyone who took the time to stop by and say “hi” it meant the world to me to see so much support. I especially want to thank the Airdrie Quilt Guild for coming out such a ways and spending some time getting to know more about Pastimes Online, I would love to come out to your guild one of these days and meet everyone!! Unfortunately, I didn’t get any photos when the room was full of women because…I was just too darn busy…

We own a holiday trailer and have been out doing some camping so I’ve been away from my sweet machine “cherry” and I miss her but the last couple of nights have been great because I’ve sewn 2 blocks for the Journey of a Quilter block of the month club and I’m getting ready to sit down and sew this afternoon…doesn’t it feel good to just sit and sew? It’s my true calling, lol!

A Kittens Tale Block 4 finished, but notice anything…lol I’m keeping it this way, I got busy chatting and stitching with my Mum and because the brown silk is so dark I couldn’t pre-trace the letters so I winged it *smile* too funny!

Here’s Tig, it’s about 1am and I’m still sewing, pressing, sewing, pressing, “just one more seam” I say to her…she’s tired and wants to go to bed, what a great pal to have hanging out during late sewing nights 🙂

Love you Tig.
