One Monthly Goal!

 Well after 7 months it's finally time for a goal!

My goal for this month is to finish up

two charity quilts  that needs quilting,

and start on my own big stash of quilts to quilt,

My ladder quilt rack is full to bursting!

I started one of mine this morning.

It is ready for trimming, so I pulled out 

this beauty.  

A curved nine patch made with the 

Quick Curve ruler. 

I would have finished, but my sewing partner, Bernie

 decided to be persnickety with my threading.

I gave up in the afternoon and decided to spend

an evening on the couch,

with some old detectives and puzzling mysteries.

Good luck with your monthly goals and 

we'll catch you at the end of the month!

Stay safe and sew on!

One Monthly Goal

Alberta in the Summer

 Every morning before starting my day,

I join a friend outside for a walk

around our small Alberta community.

Our province has a lot of varied topography,

and I've seen two small quilts lately

 that illustrate this wonderfully.

The first one, you may have seen before 

as it hangs on the wall of my sewing room.

It is a small 26" x 7" depiction of Alberta 

done in 1" finished squares.

If you look closely you can see, 

starting at the bottom:

Green fields, 

golden fields (wheat),

yellow fields (canola),

green (forests) , blue  (lakes), 

green ( old timber) , grey, brown

and purple( mountains ), then big blue sky!

This was part of an estate clear out and 

I treasure a fellow quilter each time I look at it. 

These little mug rug "Albertas" (6 "x 12") are made 

with 1" strips and depict our ripening 

canola fields of late summer. 

They are very interesting and backed with 

Canadian trivia fabric. They are perfect host gifts 

that are traveling off to Europe with a friend. 

They are made by ER and BK. 

Enjoy this quickie tidbit 

on some beautiful quilting. 

Stay safe and sew on !
