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..

 Kathy and I arrived at noon Thursday and had lunch at a little cafe!

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.

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!!!
