quilted cake

Isn't this a wonderful cake. One of our guild members made it for our potluck, last night. It tasted great too.
I took my Mom to the potluck. The food was great. We had a guest speaker. Quilter, Wayne Kollinger. What a trunk show.
He designs his own quilts and teaches. He has a book coming out very soon on how to design quilts. I would suspect that our guild will try to get him to do a class or two in the coming year. He also has pieced alot of different alphabets. Not paperpieced.
I went on a nursing course today. My Mom and Dad left as I went off to my course. They are now on their was home. It sure was nice to have them here.
Happy quilting,

I just looked for new pictures and realized that I have to upload them first. So no pictures for today.
My parents have been visiting. I take my Mom to my guild potluck tonight and then they are heading home tomorrow.
They've been here 2 weeks. We made curtains for my bedroom this week. I have vertical blind in there but they were actually too small for the window. The new curtains look really nice.
Guess I'd better go and start my day. I'm on a course tomorrow and my parents will be leaving in the morning at the same time that I do.
Happy quilting,

flowers and challenge

It worked this morning.
So this is the bouquet from my hubby for our 20th wedding anniversary in April. Also. the second picture is a challenge at my guild. The block is the same pattern block with the colour placement different for each block.
Teal is one of my favourite colours.
Happy quilting.

This is the first time since April that I could get onto my blog. For some reason I could not get it to open.
The photo that is loading is unquilt related.
The bouquet of flowers that my husband send to my work for our 20th wedding anniversary.
They were just beautiful.

Well the first try didn't work. I'm trying again. That one didn't work either. Oh well. Will have to try another time for that one.
I'll try another picture.

mmmm that didn't work either. Guess I will not be adding pictures tonight.
One more try.... says it was done but I don't see it. Oh well. that's it for tonight.
My parents are here visiting. I haven't gotten too much sewing done in the last week.

I'm on holidays while they are here. We flew to Yellowknife for an over night trip on my hubby's flight benefits. It was a very nice 2 days with my parents. My hubby, Dave took a week off work as well but he is back to work tomorrow.
They will be here till the 15th. I don't go back to work till the 17th.

My quilt guild potluck is the coming Thursday night. I've missed the last two June ones. I'm taking my mom to this one.
Well. I have to be up with Dave at 5:30 tomorrow morning so I'd better head to bed . It's 11:15 pm here now.
Hopefully I can get back on here again soon. I think that it has something to do with using a Mac computer. Not sure.
Happy quilting.

It worked this time. So here is the picture of the quillow I made with a tall ships panel.
:)Carol

This is a quillow I made for my parents some time ago. Last time I visited I took a picture of it. I used a panel of tall ships for the pillow and quilt. I got some quilting done this last week. Had a hard time getting to it the week before. I always feel better when I finally get down there.
don't know if the picture will show up. It just said that it was loaded but I don't see it here. I'll try once more. Didn't seem to work again. I'll have to try another day for this picture by the look of it.
Happy quilting

This picture is a challenge at my guild. The block is the same in all blocks but the placement of the colour and prints is different in each. I now have 9 blocks done and I'm also done the 10th. My intention is to use this quilt as a gift but I'm not sure I can
give it away as I'm really partial to the colours. Time will tell. I've enjoyed working on this one

Happy quilting
