Post Card Swap
Sheila of Sheila's Quilt World put together a post card swap last month. We had a flower theme for our post cards. this is what I chose to make for my swap partner, Raewyn @ http://stitchingfarmgirl.blogspot.com/
She received it in the mail yesterday ( I mailed it a little early ) I am glad that Raewyn likes her card. I had chosen the Prairie Lily as it is our Provincial flower. I look forward to finding mine in the mail in the next little while. I know it will be a little treasure too.
Thanks Sheila for putting us together for the swap and organizing the whole swap.

HO HO HO Hop :)
Welcome to my turn on the hop.
First off I would like to thank Carol and Mdm Samm for all they do to get us organized and inspired for all this hop. There have been some great ideas and projects posted sew far and even more inspiration shared through each of the posts. Thanks sew much fellow hoppers.
I have had some fun with what I wanted to make for this hop.
I had a Christmas card that I had thought would make a nice little wall hanging..... sew I went from the card
then I pulled out some of the fabric I painted last year in a class at the Sask. Stitches Conference
 |
| sunprinting with seta colors and snowflakes and just a touch of glitter |
I added a few extra snow flakes
and this is what I came up with.
I am thinking I will be going through my old cards to see what else I can come up with next.

And what would a Christmas/Holiday themed hop be without a give away
The Quilter's Homecoming.
Just leave a comment and a way to contact you if you are a non-reply commenter. I will make the draw at the end of the hop, August 9th.
Here is the links to the rest of the posts for todays hop.

Thanks sew much for spending a part of your day with me.

Deadlines in summertime
Well it's the middle of the week and the end of July. I think summer is only just getting started as we are still waiting for those sunny and hot days of summer..... maybe in August.
Any way I do have a few things that I have been working on this week. Last minute sewing .... where did the time go???
I Have my EQ7 block made from the summer draw along that they have going on over on their home site.
I think I could have chosen some brighter fabric for the one flower but it will work for now. August will be the last month for the draw along. I am sure you can check back to get the info from the past 3 months. It has been posted on the 1st and then an extra lesson on the 15th of each month.
I have finished a scrappy quilt and just have to add the label,
here is a peek at my quilt for the HO HO HO blog hop, I 'll have more on it an the 5th of August..... my day to post.
I sure have found it hard to get into my sewing with work and all that summer can bring.... but I am sure going to give it a good try. I am using the blog hops for some inspiration, and motivation.
Well that's all for now, I'll be linking up with Monika, as well as posting my block with EQ7 on their blog.
Have a great long weekend( here in Canada)

Getting ready for the next blog hop
I have been working away on my project for this next hop. I hope you all stop in to see what the ladies have created this time around. I think it should be a fun hop and get us all inspired to make a few gifts for the holiday season. I know that it is months away right now but it will be here before we know it.I'll post the full set of links later this week.
Have a great day

Home again
We are back from a great little holiday with my BIL and SIL.
Can you guess where we were.
If you guessed San Francisco, you would be right.
We did some sight seeing as well as taking in a couple of the Giants games at the AT &T ball park.
We sure did a lot of walking there. We even walked to the ball park (4.5miles one way) and home again to the hotel.
Any of you who live neat the ocean are sew lucky to have fresh seafood as part of your daily diet. We made sure that we had some a couple of times while we were there.
I hope to get back to some of my projects this week ..... it's been a while since I have done any sewing. I wonder if I will remember how.... wink ... wink ;)
Have a great day.

Oh My Stars! EQ 7 Draw along
What a great block we where shown how to draw out in EQ7 in June.
This block was a little more challenging on the piecing end as I have not done a lot of paper piecing.
I did find that these tools helped in the making of my block.
 |
| add 1/4" ruler, post card and my mini cutting mat |
Here is my finished block
I sure like the blocks I saw on the EQ7 Draw a long
I will be getting this month's lesson off the blog later today to see what I can create next.
