What's Happening

I have been working hard to finish up the quilt I am making for my Uncle. Here is a photo of him and Me probably summer 1953!  He is six years older than me.

I have all the stitch-in-the-ditch  and straight sewing through the homespun squares finished.  In each round of muslin I am planning on doing a different free-motion design.  Pebbles in the first one, jester hats in the second, loop-de-loops in the third.  I am just starting the fourth round of muslin.  Not sure what I will freemotion in there yet.  I am loving how it is turning out.  Just a sneaky-peek.  I hope to be able to show a finish really soon.

Another lovely birthday gift arrived in the mail today from my sweet friend in beautiful Cape Breton..Karen of KaHolly.  How cute is this.  I love it so much.  It is hanging by my coffeemaker so I can look at it  a lot through the day.

Karen also sent me some selvedges.  She knows I love them and I will use them.  Thanks so much Karen. 
I just realized that I didn't post a photo of the sweet little tea wallet that Karen sent me a few weeks ago. Aren't I lucky!!

I keep this in my purse so I can enjoy my favourite tea while I am out and about.

I am linking up with the Needle and Thread Network so stop by and check out what is happening this week.
