Hi Ladies, first thing I want to thank Jen, Sandy, Jackie, Dominique and Rachel for leaving me comments, I love comments…
So as you know for the month of March I’m being featured as the Guest Honeypot over at Snickerdoodle Dreams, thanks Darlene!
I had to submit a drawing as inspiration to the readers to create something amazing with, here’s what I submitted. I also put a shout out asking if someone completed a project with my drawing to send it to me.
this is the one I did
Here’s what Jen E submitted, it’s so adorable 🙂
Anyone else create something wonderful with my sketch? If so, I would LOVE to see them please forward to me valerie@pastimesonline.ca

A few posts ago for one of my “Around the Net” entry’s, I put a shout out asking you my readers to send me a pic of their favourite decorated room, I received this great email from Annie (she was previously e-interviewed by moi) and here’s what she sent me:
The first one shows my quilt, Kindred Spirits, on my bed
This quilt is Victorian Star hanging over another dresser belonging to my OTHER grammie. Mocha Meringue, hanging on the wall over a dresser that belonged to my maternal grammie. I made that bouquet of flowers on the dresser from scrapbooking paper.
Thanks so much for sharing Annie and giving us a glimpse into your life 🙂

Here’s some pics of things in my studio…there will be many more pics to come. Almost settled in, videos hopefully for you all next week:)
I found these adorable boxes at Michaels recently they came in many sizes, magnetic envelope closure styles lids, great for hiding all of my wip’s.
These cute little wall boxes (not really sure what to call them) are empty now and will be moved to their new home shortly.
Hi all, writting this post on Wednesday night as Friday I will still be out of town. Heading to Edmonton with my Sis and the boys for a night plus seeing an ol’ friend of my sisters and spending the night at my Mum’s, what fun!
Update on the studio: the carpet was installed Friday and so since then it’s been folding, sorting, purging, sorting, folding and more purging. Here’s a bit of a clip to keep you all abreast.
Thanks to Allison Rosen and her AR way of folding fabric, I’ve followed suite to ensure that I can get the best space for all of this. I measured my drawer and divided it by 6.5″. I used a 6.5″ square ruler, and wrapped the fabric around this and folded in the exact same manor (removing the ruler as you go)
Then I got 4 even rows of fabrics, all nice and neat I won’t want to use them now 🙂
Funny story, my DH says to me “Hey hun, is all of this your fabric?” Me: “Yes it is, why” DH: I didn’t realize how much you had? Me: “Oh really?” Isn’t that a riot? I don’t even have that much of a stash, yet 😉
Quilt til you Wilt last weekend proved to be another awesome day, with quite a few of us gathering together we sewed, we laughed, great ol’ time as usual.
Mum and I worked on getting our Freebie 15 blocks all caught up, I got these three paper pieced leaves done and the large main block almost finished. I’m quite happy with the way these turned out.
We purchased 4 Billy bookcases from Ikea and set them up today, My sweetie pie has been so great helping me get setup and sorted…thanks Babe!
This was at about 2pm, since then I’ve unloaded so many boxes, all of my silks and notions, etc, it’s been so fun, too bad you gals weren’t here to help me out 😉
I will be open next week for business by appointment only please call before you come by…
I’m also so pleased to announce that I’m the Guest Honeypot over at Snickerdoodle Dreams, thanks Darlene for having me on your site, it was really fun to do 🙂 For those of you who create something with the drawing I included and email (valerie@pastimesonline.ca) me a pic of your project, I’ll put your name in for a great prize, think something along the lines of silks.
Last but not least, here’s Tig (aka Quilt Inspector) checking out the fabrics all nicely folded in a plethora of colours…”hmmm what should I pick next?”
I’m also so pleased to announce that the Lakeside Quilters here in Chestermere have voted me in to be their Vice President, thank you so much ladies and I hope I make you all proud!!
BOM Update: I’ve order the gorgeous silk flosses for A Kittens Tale, which I hope will commence middle of March, anyone else like to sign up? I’ll be ordering the patterns next week. The Journey of a Quilter’s 2nd block has just been sent out, 1st prize was drawn, 6000 yard beige cotton thread cone and 20g tin of Quilters Tea, congratulations Susanne!!
