AGAIN!!!

Well, we are in the third day of a deep freeze again! This time the snow didn't leave after the first day, and it is expected to continue for another two days. The temperature is -12C (which is 10 F), but with the wind chill the temperature is -23C (which is -9F).



It has been a good weekend for quilting..... and I finally got to use the cutest pantograph that I have had for a while - it is called "Doggie Pit Stop" by Dave Hudson. I think it is just adorable...... and I will use it again. I am not generally a pantograph user but there are a few out there that just suit the quilt!

11 MONTHS TILL CHRISTMAS!!!

Yes, well, Christmas is my favorite time of the year..... and it always helps to get ahead start on projects, especially in the quilting world. I think perhaps the 3 Stooges quilt will be an '08 Christmas gift.
Today is a quilting day as I have a few customer quilts to get done and better get at it. We are having a lovely "chinook" day in Calgary - which means that we have better than seasonal temperatures. BUT, in the next few days we are back to Winter.

I did spend the day quilting today - and had a great time. My favorite thing in the world is to freehand quilt!! Here's an example of some leaves and vines. I just love to free hand. Most of the quilting that I have done the last two years has been free hand; but, I have had to rethink this lately as I have had many customers who want pantograph designs. So, I have added pantographs to the types of quilting that I do.
