Too Gone, Too Long

I’ve been thinking about life a lot lately, how much even a small event can change things, never mind the huge changes that are inevitable in any life. As I’ve gotten older, my life has definitely changed. I’ve changed too. I’d like to think I’ve changed for the better, but i suppose that’s a matterContinue reading “Too Gone, Too Long”

Farewell to thee, 2018

Seeing as its New Year’s Eve, I thought I might do a quick recap of my quilt year. Although I didn’t blog until later in the year, I was pretty busy at my machine. Here are a few of the client quilts I completed this year I took on several new clients in 2018 andContinue reading “Farewell to thee, 2018”

Merry Holidays!

I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas with friends and family! We came home to Edmonton to spend time with my family, and true to form it was a raucous affair with lots of laughs. Right before the holiday I had an issue with my longarm machine. I blew a fuse and just my luck,Continue reading “Merry Holidays!”

Well, poop

I truly love living in rural Saskatchewan, but it does have its downfalls. Like when your Longarm machine won’t turn on and it’s the last week before Christmas and you’re getting the last of your client’s quilts done, but you don’t have any of the required fuses to get it up and running again. YouContinue reading “Well, poop”

A guild show and a new start

Back in September I received a phone call from a lady in a neighbouring town, asking if I’d be interested in having a table at their annual guild show. Of course I jumped at the chance! I was a little unsure of what I would have for displays at my table, but after consulting aContinue reading “A guild show and a new start”

I’m Baa-ack

It has been a very, very long time since i sat down and wrote a blog. Over two years to be precise. I can’t even recall why i stopped blogging in the first place, but since I’ve decided to start focussing on the LongArm Quilting side of my business, I thought I might as wellContinue reading “I’m Baa-ack”

Quarter 4 Finish-a-long

Things have so busy around here I’ve hardly had time to quilt, let alone blog. I definitely need to change that, not only for my own mental health, but to finish some projects for my incredibly patient clients. I’ve decided to join the last leg of the 2016 Finish-a-long to light a fire under myContinue reading “Quarter 4 Finish-a-long”

Finish It Up (two) Friday(s ago)

I’ve been a little negligent with my blog as of late, but I have a good reason. It’s berry picking time here in North Central Saskatchewan I have an absolutely amazing orchard on my property (thanks to the previous owners) and I can hardly keep up when berry time comes around. I have a hugeContinue reading “Finish It Up (two) Friday(s ago)”

A Long Time Coming

Back in February. I had a lady contact me on Facebook about completing some quilting for her. We had a few false starts, but were finally able to connect in the middle of March. She told me that the quilt was for her young son, as she was expecting and he would need to moveContinue reading “A Long Time Coming”

Throwback Thursday – June Edition

It’s that time again! Well, actually, it’s a week late because the host was away the first Thursday of June. Since she was doing something quilty, I’ll let it slide. hahahaha! When my sister’s kids were young, I was a career girl with no kids of my own. Needless to say, I was head overContinue reading “Throwback Thursday – June Edition”
