A QUICKIE!!!

Just a quick post..I finally had a chance to get some work done on these...

Aren't they cute!!! I found a great tutorial for these mini blocks here!  I made one block quite a few weeks ago and finally had a chance to get some more done!  Can't wait to get this top sewn together!  Do I dare attempt some hand quilting on this one?

Now, back to men's synchronized diving!  Oh yah!!!



Cooling Off!

We're home from our week away in Osoyoos!  I tried to post this picture while we were there but the Internet connection was sketchy and I wasn't having much luck!  Anyway, here it is...

This is Spotted Lake located just outside Osoyoos!  Fancy a dip!  No thanks!  It's actually a local attraction. We stopped on our way to Osoyoos so I could take some pictures of it!  We met some really nice people from Idaho who were also checking it out!  Let me tell you, it was HOT HOT HOT!!! The entire week was HOT HOT HOT - close to 100 degrees!  I took lots of projects with me but only managed to get the binding done on this quilt...



 

If memory serves, I photographed some quilts in the same tree last year!  I had two other quilts with me that I wanted to finish but it was just TOO HOT!!!

 

Here's a few pictures of some fabric I picked up during the week...

 

LOVE this...

So vintagey!!! Not sure what I'm going to do with it, but I couldn't resist it!





 

This one is for my Halloween quilt!

 

 

WE'RE HERE!!!

We're finally here - our annual trip to beautiful, sunny, warm Osoyoos!!! My fabulous new camera is up and running.  Here's one of the shots I took on the trip up...

This beautiful little church is near Hedley!  We pulled over to the side of the highway and I used my zoom lens to capture this image.  My mom loved seeing this church every year on the drive up and drive home!  This one's for you mom!
