So Thankful!

With the political craziness that is going on between Canada and the U.S.A., I am so thankful that I can sink into my quilting to help keep me sane and my hands occupied. 

I'm so thankful that there is a healthy stash and lots of bins of scraps to pawn through in my studio.  With the cost of cotton fabric and all the accessories, there is no way with the added cost of tariffs that I could afford to buy new stuff.  Good thing I stocked up years ago.

So, with that in mind, back to the scraps I went and after a day, blocks started appearing.  Another Rail Fence quilt was started.

After all the blocks were made, I decided that the bright yellow blocks just had to go.

So, more scraps were pulled, the yellow blocks taken out and viola .... a top that just needs borders.  

Cherish your day, cherish your life and cherish your country .... and my country will always be CANADA!

A Gift!

What a lovely surprise that came in the mail yesterday!  This is my quilt from Humble Quilts doll swap quilt that I joined in this year.  My quilt came from Nann at With Strings Attached and I LOVE it!  I've been reading Nann's blog for many years and I'm delighted that my quilt came from her.

Look how well my quilt matches my outfit!  LOL   Guess she knew I'm a blue person.

Nann included way, way too many goodies for me to enjoy!

I'm still working on the quilt that is going to ..... and hope to have it finished soon.  I need to look for some goodies to include in the parcel.

Cherish your day, cherish your life and cherish your country and mine will always be CANADA!
