Lakeside Quilters: Fabric Painting & a night of Schnibbles (19)

Hi Ladies, well last Saturday was a day filled with inspiration, a little bit of stress learning something new and a finished fabric painted apple that is absolutely gorgeous!! Thanks so much to Ana for your super teaching skills and help throughout the day it was so great! Thanks to my SIL for making the trek from DeWinton and my Mum for coming from a conference and 3 hours from home 🙂 and too all the Ladies who committed to come and learn something so totally new and challenging.

Heather, this pic is for you as you dressed up for the photo opps today 🙂

Here’s all of us with our proud works of art!

So after this amazing day of painting was over, my SIL drove home to change, my Mum drove home to her cottage and some girls came over to change and get ready at my house with me because we were off to a FAB dinner and trunk show with Carrie Nelson of Miss Rosie’s Quilt Co. For those of you unfamiliar with Carrie she is the creator of the Schnibbles line of patterns – which are absolutely adorable!!

Our table was full of so many laughs after so much good food and a nice glass of wine we (I) got the giggles boy did we (I) have so much fun, along with everyone else at the table. Thanks to all my dear Quilting buddies for making it the best night!

unfortunately I didn’t bring my awesome D90 but I did have my iPhone which is 3MB so I shot these few photos with that, enjoy.

 

check out her binding clips, she really uses this many – isn’t that an absolute riot!!

then we had to get some photos with us girls and she was such a delight to sit and chat with..

Last is me with her, she signed out patterns and fabric packs like a real trooper, thanks Carrie for taking the time to laugh and be with us, we loved it!

 

until next event in Quilting in Alberta, stay creative everyone 🙂

Hey Kathy, guess you shouldn’t have done that with your tongue…captured for everyone to see 🙂

Mum asked me to take her picture in the window…not so flattering

here’s a much better one

this is the two of us the next morning, does it look like we went to bed at 3:45 am? Pretty bright eyed and bushy taled I’d say.

Until next time we girls get together, have happy and creative days!
