My Quilt is on the frame of the Wheatley Quilters and look at the fabulous job they are doing those stitches are incredible! 


My Mom is quilting with them on Mondays and Thursdays and they are a close group so excited I visit via zoom when they have their break on Mondays, yes they punch in and out and you pay for their time 


I thought I would introduce the quilt I have on the bed at present. This was a block swap long ago, actually 2 swaps together the nine patches were from another swap.
I love swaps, the challenges on deciding what fabrics to use to pull it all together and then the layout. 
Fabrics are pulled from the stash so it is the point of also having enough fabric for the end result as well. 
You will see the sashing fabric was perfect as well as the border fabric since it was a fall themed swap for the blocks.
Love these kinda challenges. 
In keeping with the swapping aspect that year I had this great backing fabric it was a quilting map and then as you can see below the drivers licenses in different cities with different fabulous ideas to create a licence for your car. 

The super models on the bed keep me from getting the whole quilt in focus. they are characters that i for sure. 

I am also having fun with creating stars to go around the border of a hexie quilt I thought I was finished with but felt it needed more....WHAT was I thinking! 

I will post more later on, as you can see I have a little lap warmer under my board...nope it doesn't bother him in the least he is in his favourite spot.

 This ladder I got for Christmas from my mother has a few quilts displayed on it now and I love how it just fits perfectly there when I walk in the door it is the first thing I see besides the little tail wagging and the chatting girls at the door. 


Well I guess that is all for now, well of pictures. I am doing much much more and will follow up with more to come don't want to inundate you with too much right? 

Spring like weather here in Ontario is getting everyone itching to start the gardening I am hoping for 2 months of winter so that I can enjoy my quilting...selfish I know.
