Awesome Weekend

Boy I don't know where to start..It was just a wonderful weekend of stitching with friends at a lovely cottage at Honey harbour On Georgian Bay Ont.
If you would go to Bonnie's blog ( here) She has a wonderful photo of the cottage where we stayed and gave a very good description of our weekend.
We did a lot of stitching and eating..
this is where the cottage is
 Kathy and I arrived at noon Thursday and had lunch at a little cafe!

Shiela our hostess


My cozy spot to stitch

Kathy had a comfy spot too!

Coffee in the sunshine

Shiela and Jim were generous hosts.
Yummy BBQ and Ice cream cake.

After the weekend
I worked on my Loon.  Just the perfect setting.
I feel I got lots done..it is wonderful to stitch on!

It was fun to catch up with  my friends.
Christin has shared some pics too. There are links on Bonnie and Kathy's blog.

Stitch with happy fingers.
Until the next time!

It's about time!

Well I'm going to try this blogging again...boy have I ever been lax.
Now I have been stitching and busy singing and reading ..
Oh yes I've taken up quilting too.
So lots going on.
I have a NEW laptop...it's wonderful!

I'm working on a SAL with some ladies I know and I'm enjoying it so much.
It is called Jardin Prive from a french designer called Creation Nathalie.
I changed the colours to my liking but they are all beautiful. We have many different colours and sizes.

2nd segment of SAL
Bagatelle 1'st row


Bagatelle is coming along!

thank you gift

A little thank you gift I stitched for a friend.

Dani's quilt squares









This is the cover I made for my new Kindle e-reader. Kathy had the pattern for this and I took it upon
myself  to make it!!

I had stitched this Jennette Douglas a year or so ago and it fit perfect so I was able to incorporate the 2 together.

I will try and be a bit more diligent with the blogging now that I have my new computer!!!

Stitch with happy fingers.
