So much to learn!

Well it has been awhile! I wasn't sure how to add a new blog. lol This is so new to me, but here I am.  I guess I figured it out.

I have been working on a couple of quilts this past month. I did a tube quilt top for a twin bed out of reproduction fabrics, but haven't quilted it yet. I just fell in love with the way this is done. Lots of fun. Check out utube, as that is where I learned how to do it.

I also did a few quilts for a friend on the longarm. I think I am getting better but will have to wait to see if she is pleased with what I've done.

Last night I did an embroidery design. Wow! I used designs given to me by Hazel from Graceful Embroidery. She has a wonderful site and her designs are beautiful. Again check out her site. You won't regret it if you do machine embroidery. She has many free designs, as well as competitions to earn even more. You can of course also buy her designs sets at a great price.

I am now working on a couple of Christmas blocks for our guilds retreat at the end of the month. I love going there with the girls. We have so much fun there with sewing , chatting and of course eating but not having to cook. We also have a little wine on the first night. Trent Valley Guild gals are a great bunch of ladies. The thing I love most about this group is the comfort quilts they work on and give to the sick, injured, or anyone in need, because of a fire or disaster. They have made baby quilts for premies at the hospital in Kingston. They have made them for Mothers of our fallen soldiers, as well as some of the injured soldiers. So what's not to like about ladies who give so much. I do keep good company. LOL

Now for a tip: HST(Half square triangles) can be very easy if you use the method I use. It is like paper peicing. Go to  http:www.QuiltingAndWhatnot.com and you can get all sizes upto 2 1/2" from their site. The best part is its free!

You all enjoy your sewing and come back for more tips.
