Finish It Up (two) Friday(s ago)

I’ve been a little negligent with my blog as of late, but I have a good reason. It’s berry picking time here in North Central Saskatchewan I have an absolutely amazing orchard on my property (thanks to the previous owners) and I can hardly keep up when berry time comes around. I have a huge

A Long Time Coming

Back in February. I had a lady contact me on Facebook about completing some quilting for her. We had a few false starts, but were finally able to connect in the middle of March. She told me that the quilt was for her young son, as she was expecting and he would need to move

Throwback Thursday – June Edition

It’s that time again! Well, actually, it’s a week late because the host was away the first Thursday of June. Since she was doing something quilty, I’ll let it slide. hahahaha! When my sister’s kids were young, I was a career girl with no kids of my own. Needless to say, I was head over

Mountains on the Prairie?

Just before the May long weekend here in Canada, I was lucky enough to quilt this beauty up for Diane S. She has 7 grandchildren  (3 girls, 4 boys) and is making each of them a quilt for graduation. Thankfully, they aren’t all graduating at once! hahahaha! Diane and her husband are snowbirds, so she

The Quilt That Almost Wasn’t

I have some dear friends who moved to the United States several years ago, so we don’t get to see each other very often. Thankfully, all these newfangled gadgets (like smartphones) help us to stay in touch. It can be so hard being apart from the people we care about, but it’s become so much

The Saggy, Baggy Quilt

When I look back at the quilts I’ve done over the years, I feel a sense of pride at the improvement in my skills, and I’m also mortified that my terrible colour choices and questionable construction skills are still around to critique. I started quilting around 1994 when i was a young, firm, and lovely

Walk of Hope

Most people have a cause or charity that they support, and for many, the reason they support that particular organization is because they have been touched on a personal level. The cause that is close to my heart is The Walk of Hope for Ovarian Cancer. Seven years ago, a very special lady lost her

My Very First Throwback Thursday

I’ve been dragging my heels with the whole blogging thing again, mostly because January and February were so busy for us. We had hockey 4-5 times a week for several weeks, a quick trip to Edmonton to visit my family, and I was filling in at the town library on occasion. Things are settled down

Mojo, UFO’s, and a new start

Happy New Year! I’d say I’m surprised that it’s already 2016, but that would be a big fat lie.  2015 started out so well, but after many unfortunate events, I lost my mojo in a big way. I mean a really big way. I forced myself to complete projects that I had promised to people,

hockey rocks!!

As a hockey mom (but not one of THOSE hockey moms), it’s a given that my house is overflowing with hockey paraphernalia. Sticks, pucks, banners, posters, nets, goalie equipment, you name it, I’m tripping on it! Like so many young boys, my wee dudes are obsessed with the game of hockey. Our season ended a
