hot pad 2

Well, I blew that one. I had a note typed and made a mess of uploading the picture. If you click on the address of previous post you will see the picture of the hot pad that I made. I saw a design I quite liked in Alaska. I have made 3 hot pads and 2 baby quilt tops in a similar design. I did enjoy making them. Happy quilting. :)Carol

Karen's wedding shower table runner

I hope I haven't posted this before. It is a table runner I made for a wedding shower gift of a coworker. I used half square triangle from another project to make the windmills and then added royal blue to what I had. It is very hot today in the 30's. Hubby is prepping for a colonscopy tomorrow. Not the easiest day. I've gone to basement to sew a couple of times today. It is nice and cool there. Computer service was down for a bit today but it back now.

Happy quilting to everyone. :)Carol

I started to blog the other day, but I was on my new account and there were not any photos in the file so day I am trying again. The first two pictures of are chair pads that I made for the chairs at my work. We have a few stains on the chairs and these will make them look better.

We went to Spruce Meadows today. Very hot and sunny today. No rain. There was a nice cool breeze. Watched some horse jumping and walked around a lot. Jenn took her dog. Below are 2 views of the jelly roll baby size quilt that I made for charity. I made 2 but only one was totally done. The second one came home with me to finish. It is not finished yet. I did get it pillowed but haven't decided or done any quilting yet.

Happy quilting to all. :)Carol

It has been awhile since I last posted. We went on a cruise to Alaska from Vancouver, in June. It was great. Scenery was amazing. We did have a lot of rain but it was still great. Only thing that we did not like about the cruise was the smoking policy on the Volendam, Holland America. We could be enjoying the scenery on the promenade deck and a person could come up beside us and light up a cigarette. We did not appreciate that and usually had to move and lose the enjoyment of the scenery that had been ours. So far we are not happy with the response about the matter that we have/havenot received from Holland America.

All other aspects of the cruise were good. Food was wonderful, ate way to much. We can't remember any problems with cigarette smoke on any of the other cruises we were on. There were always a few areas where smoking was allowed and we just avoided them. Below is towel art from the cruise. Had 3 or 4 different animals on our beds during the cruise.

Many mornings we got up to watch the sunrise. One morning it was at 2:30am. A couple of the mornings there was no colour in the sunrise.

Just a lot of beautiful scenery. We enjoyed a lot of time on the deck,just standing or walking.

Well, I just that is enough to share for this posting. Happy quilting. Oh, I got into 3 or 4 quilt shops during me trip and of course I did buy a little bit of material. :)Carol

This is a picture taken from the car or our anniversary weekend trip around b.c. We did the same circle as 2 years ago but in the reverse order. Headed for Blairmore first and stayed overnight on Friday with Dave's dad and them traveled to Radium hot springs. Stayed at Addison's Bungalow's. Cabin with a hot tub on Sat. night and home on Sunday. It was a very nice weekend trip and time together.

Hat made with a circular knitter. They were done for Inn from the Cold here in Calgary. My hubby made the orange ones.
It's nice having him work on them while we are watching t.v. I work on them alot more then he does but he is enjoying it.
Happy crafting
:)Carol
