I don't think we will ever see Spring.... but at least that leaves lots of time for sewing and quilting. I made this matching couch throw and tablerunner for my daughter's new apartment....... we had some new fabric in the store and I just knew it would look good in her place. It is backed with fleece.<br />

Meanwhile................................the dogs continue to stay warm............... and I am preparing for my annual retreat with the "Same Time Again, Next Year" gang<br />

I completed a banner for my quilt guild - it is the 100th anniversay of Athabasca and our guild did several banners like this one celebrating different milestones in the area. I chose to do a landscape of the river valley.<br />

We have had tons and tons and tons of snow..... it just keeps coming and coming and coming..... but that has made for lots of time for quilting....<br />
<br />
This quilt is called Day and Night and is an Eleanor Burns pattern. I am not a big fan of strip pieced quilts... but I just loved this one. You get instructions to make two extra projects from the left over strip pieces...<br />

I have been a very neglectful blogger... but with good reason. On October 1 I bought the local quilt store!!!! sooo.... needless to say I have been a little busy.... the name of the store is Whispering Hills Fabrics in Athabasca, Alberta, Canada... and my partner and I have a <a href="http://www.whispsquilts.blogspot.com/">blog...</a> and a newsletter (you can sign up for the newsletter on the blog). This has been a wonderful adventure and because the business is something I know and love, I am finding that most days are just filled with fun, sewing, and friends!<br />
<br />
I have also been super busy with my quilting business - I quilted over 25 quilts in November.... AND I am all caught up with customer quilts for Christmas.... I now will have some time over Christmas to work on my own projects. My business website is also due for maintenance - I had to purchase a new computer in the fall and my "old" (very old) website building software just doesn't cut it any more.... time for something new and a new learning curve... but that's OK as this year is filled with learning curves.<br />
<br />
We have a blizzard here today.... and it is a day off for me.... so I can catch up.....Debbiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11002035879172661193noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983106754188769518.post-60304430896617858862010-09-08T08:48:00.000-06:002010-09-08T08:48:47.521-06:00September......<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmOpwtL6I1Y36kXL8Mp9OB9rRn2YCJJU0Bh5YpC91pv1MQlsT3s7-Zq2YD9M4Jx4VqmPHFVXGRF5HpCD7fUY7ViSctuKDAtLsQT-9xo15m395_z-EQ3Cjfs07lg3PlrrLfMATdFMdzLwc/s1600/DSCF1486.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmOpwtL6I1Y36kXL8Mp9OB9rRn2YCJJU0Bh5YpC91pv1MQlsT3s7-Zq2YD9M4Jx4VqmPHFVXGRF5HpCD7fUY7ViSctuKDAtLsQT-9xo15m395_z-EQ3Cjfs07lg3PlrrLfMATdFMdzLwc/s200/DSCF1486.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Wow.... it is hard to believe it is September.....

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of the retreats celebrated a 10th Anniversary and because I was one of the original organizers 10 years ago, I donated a quilt to be raffled amongst the attendees. It was certainly fitting that one of the organizers, Miryam, won the quilt AND her mom, Pjam, is one of the original attendees also.... I was so happy to share this with her.</span></div><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have some very exciting news. I have been published!!! A quilt that I quilted for my friend, Laurel Francis, has been published in the Canadian Magazine, </span><a href="http://www.aneedlepullingthread.com/"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A Needle Pulling Thread.</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I quilted 3 of these last Spring for Laurel, in anticipation of her article in A Needle Pulling Thread. The article also includes the pattern for this quilt, a queen size quilt and a hooked rug by Laurel's sister in law and business partner, Cindy Everett. I have many pictures of these quilts being quilted and will have them on my website soon. I wasn't allowed to post pictures until the article and pattern was published.... it was very hard to keep it all under wraps - only a couple of very close friends knew of the spread. I have been quilting for Laurel for about 10 years - I started quilting for her on my domestic machine.... she is a great friend and designer. She does not have a website at the moment, but if you are interested in her designs she can be contacted </span><a href="mailto:lcfrancis@hotmail.com"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">here.</span></a>Debbiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11002035879172661193noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983106754188769518.post-71713878465616181982010-06-08T15:46:00.001-06:002010-06-08T15:47:50.645-06:00Time Flies...........<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYDopUTnGMUKUyAGGraPGpL-BUV1-dmp0OVXNWoLH4ZtlhUOgyCxtiUsLV3HZdt1XZ-dGpg8DdMzC1YqltBcemcL09VUvUpENPUa9bEMwTFSKvbqKtqI8yjg-4wMNvu2eljE8Qu-koPqA/s1600/022.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" qu="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYDopUTnGMUKUyAGGraPGpL-BUV1-dmp0OVXNWoLH4ZtlhUOgyCxtiUsLV3HZdt1XZ-dGpg8DdMzC1YqltBcemcL09VUvUpENPUa9bEMwTFSKvbqKtqI8yjg-4wMNvu2eljE8Qu-koPqA/s200/022.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and May is gone....

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I got a lot of my own quilting done last week..... very glad to get some of my quilt tops done.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is a second Dresden Plate quilt made from some blocks that I received from a retirement center. The prints in the Dresden Plates are 40's or 50's and are appliqued to a cotton/poly background (I did this because some of the blocks were appliqued to this type of fabric already - I used the same fabric to preserve continuity). The border is a Reproduction print.</span><br />

Before you agree to do anything that might add even the smallest amount of stress to your life, ask yourself: What is my truest intention? Give yourself time to let a yes resound within you. When it's right, I guarantee that your entire body will feel it. </span><br />

This is my first piece of pottery done on the wheel.... I had lots of help from an instructor... and my subsequent pieces aren't so great... but I do love working on the wheel. This pot has not been glazed (other than the black stripe); the color is the natural Athabasca clay found where I live. I love the look of this clay - I have done 5 other wheel pieces that are in the stages of drying/firing. Pottery is over for the summer... will be back at it in September. I hope to be able to combine this with my love of quilting.</span><br />
