snowing and some finishes

Yes I said snowing.
Yesterday we had a balmy 5 degrees celcius. That's warm for this time of the year
in Ontario.  Our snow just about gone.

Now the weatherman told us it's going to snow. So be prepared.
We expected a storm like no other, but we received maybe 4 inches of the heavy stuff.

Here are some pictures out the front of our home.
See no where near what they forcasted.

Well I have been sewing up a storm and still have
more than half of the quilt to finish.
Somedays I just can't seem to get inspired enough to go to my sewing studio.
Do you have days like that?

Mr DH HAS BEEN BUSY IN HIS WORKSHOP AND HERE IS HIS LASTEST...M 1 ABRAMS TANK

Mr DH PUTS IN A NUMBER OF HOURS OF LABOUR MAKING THESE.

ALL ARE CUT FROM SALVAGED WOOD AND THEN ASSEMBLED.

THESE ARE NOT A KIT.

Yes he is very talented.

CONGRATULATIONS!

You will have one more entry for giveaway #3

Thanks again for following along in my journey.

snow day and a giveaway

                It's been snowing all day and the sanders have just come by.
                    Oh well it's winter still here in Ontario, Canada.
So I have been in my sewing studio sewing my little heart out.
I'm making a queen size quilt for my eldest grandson.

This is the fabric I picked out and started cutting 2 1/2 " strips.
I find that my June Tailor Shape Cut Plus works best and cuts the time in half.
The rail fence pattern goes together with ease.
Sew 3 stips together than cut at 6 1/2 " intervals. I get a total of 6 cuts from each.
I need a total of 224    6 1/2" blocks. Well I have a long way to go.

Just a reminder that my giveaway is still on til Feb 20.
                                           Go here to enter.
                                                 Good Luck!

NEED A LITTLE INSPIRATION

Remember this post on NEEDLE INSPIRATION.
This picture from Country Living mag.


Well here is my Quilt.

                                                                      It measures 68" X 84".

I JUST LOVE HOW IT TURNED OUT.

I also made a pillow sham to match.                                                   The sham measures 32 x 25 with a 2" flange.




I used scraps to make the centre and then used my leftover fabric for the rest.

Here is a close up.


 Here is the back of the quilt. Love the texture of the blues.
I do all my own quilting on a little gracie frame.
I used a meandering or stipple effect on both the sham and the quilt.

Enjoy!
until next time,

Linda
