Purse Class

Tomorrow is a new day, having a class of 6 with an instructor in my basement studio.
We are going to make "Origami" purses and each one will be unique and different.
The studio has been cleaned and is ready, now to do the baking for tomorrow as we need something for break time and also something for dessert at lunch time.
Honey bran muffins sounds great and so do blueberry muffins and maybe a oatmeal cake for lunch. Everyone is brown bagging it and I will have whatever my hubby
decides and then the rest of the week I am working at the new Quilt Shop in Caledonia, known as "My Sewing Room".

Time to Restart

Well, today I have made up my mind to restart the business side of my life...I am just recovering from pleurisy and feeling really terrible but can be back on track before the end the month. Working on several projects at a time as I am a multi-tasker, just waiting for the body to catch up with the mind.

Busy as always trying new things and happy with the results so far...Lighthouse quilt now gone to the berth of a Tug Boat. Kaliedescope quilt turned out nice with the use of the variegated threads.
Quilts to be done for those who lost their homes in the forest fire that devastated Slave Lake.

Spring has sprung

Busy as always doing quilts and now have classes in my studio with 4 students doing a sampler quilt. Before they started the sampler, they built log cabin blocks and as pictured, one student brought hers back for show and tell.
Also took some time to make a few quilts for Japan, with the help of Debbie, Deb, Joan and Marilyn, we turned in 9 quilts. I took the time to quilt 7 of these quilts with poly batting and flannel backs, they should provide warmth for our Japanese friends.

Painting Stage.....yuck!

We got to the stage where the painting had to get done....batting got removed to the main floor of the house, and everything that could absorb paint smell got sealed in plastic....oh, what a job.
Done now and class starts tomorrow so I will post more pics after I have it ready for the class.

This is the new work stations for people learning to sew quilt blocks at DLS Quilting and Supplies.
Now I have to move all the other components to fit the spaces available...but what else do we have to do when mother nature dumps on us.

That wonderful month of March and all it's surprises. I couldn't resist the winter beauty out side my bedroom window. As the day goes on the weather gets wilder but it is a beautiful scene.
