<br />
It certainly has been a while since my last post. Life has many twists and turns, doesn’t it? My family has grown from family of 5, then to a family of 8, and now to a family of 15!! We have 7 grandchildren now. Oh my! 😊<br />
<br />
Been attending my share of quilt retreats, getting to know many new quilters, and having good fun, though my quilt production is slow. It’s the mojo again...<br />
<br />
I’m doing this post on my new iPad, and haven’t figured out how to access my photos yet. Hopefully I’ll figure it out soon! 🤔<br />
<br />
Hope to post again soon!<br />

It's been a while... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe summer!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been somewhat productive in my sewing-room at my "getaway trailer" this past few weeks. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First up, I've finished a couple flimsies. My<a href="http://quiltville.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank"> Bonnie Hunter</a> Mystery, "Allietare".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm going to have this one quilted by a longarmer soon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I enjoyed this project very much, and look forward to the next one!</div>

The twins were up from their Wisconsin farm in July. Some of our activities with the cousins together was the zoo, Tinkertown for fun on the rides, and splash-parks. Buddy with the glasses here was not so happy about the 20-25 minutes on the farris-wheel. Grammy here wasn't either, but we made the best of it!</div>

DD#1, twins and I spent an afternoon at <a href="http://www.lockportmanitoba.ca/" target="_blank">Lockport</a>, going for a walk and watching the pelicans, walking the bridge, and finishing it off with hotdogs from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1deFWA8wGT4" target="_blank">Skinners</a>. </div>

I attended a small retreat a couple weeks ago that my cousin invited me to.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
IT WAS WONDERFUL!!! I met six new quilters. Awesome ladies! We meshed so well together, that my cousin and her friend have booked another retreat for us come Fall time.</div>

I finished this quilt top (I've shown parts of project before), though I think it needs top and bottom borders... what do you think?</div>

Made some progress on this one also, but now I've made it much too long. I'll have to cut about a foot off (how does that happen?) before adding the borders. All in due time...</div>

For Spring Break DH and I went to my Cousin's time share at Lake of the Ozarks. I think it's been our third or fourth time there with them. This time we planned to hit the <a href="https://www.missouriquiltco.com/" target="_blank">Missouri Star Quilt Company</a> in Hamilton Missouri, and hit it we did!! On the way down, and on the way home!! We toured all the shops AND the Retreat House. Of course we made lots of purchases also!!</div>

Hubby is away, the quilters will play!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had a little bit of a sew-in weekend with a couple of my gals. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had a good time, and got lots of sewing time in... Here is our set up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I got a few more rows (off-set blocks now) put together, and I'm glad I made the change. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like it much better. Three more rows to add and this quilt top will be done!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is what I came up with for my <a href="http://myras-tactilepleasuresinfabric.blogspot.ca/2016/01/disappointingly-ugly.html" target="_blank">disappointing proje</a>ct. I like this much better. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few more zig-zag blocks to create, and maybe even make it all a tad wider.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
....and something unique!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Went to a "Midwinter Quilt Market" this morning. These are the goodies I came home with, though there was much more there that temped me. But I had to stick to my guns of not buying any fabric bigger than a fat quarter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlKvXoXy8nRrni_cz4gogRGTWvq7EQsSDMUyeoknH9j_-ysNUX_HkWvYpiL793aVFidicgOR7y7aEt38XIDVf2ekNr7vNdBfwIDqVGREguPN5fROKLzlvyqqtKckp8IYnn_DOUmM3MuQY/s1600/IMG_2274.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlKvXoXy8nRrni_cz4gogRGTWvq7EQsSDMUyeoknH9j_-ysNUX_HkWvYpiL793aVFidicgOR7y7aEt38XIDVf2ekNr7vNdBfwIDqVGREguPN5fROKLzlvyqqtKckp8IYnn_DOUmM3MuQY/s400/IMG_2274.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have so much yardage in my stash, that I can't allow myself to add to it! Not at the moment anyway. There were some good buys there though!! Pre-cuts of Batik, 10 meters for $60. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was sorely tempted!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I came across this photo on FB (I hope they don't mind I borrowed it) that someone had shared. I had to ask you quilters, "Have you ever seen such a sewing machine?"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn1U4iTUnWLb-UwuWLZw2rm2CnfLxtgNy4R674GB7gTe0Sui6se_PPyUuwhZU-RH_F__FiJSqH8pcAa913_1VqCt9YuqS9sRWrgopzFf1yhJesiF1SEIvrm3ZbxylBka-9xNK2BebV1II/s1600/IMG_2244.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn1U4iTUnWLb-UwuWLZw2rm2CnfLxtgNy4R674GB7gTe0Sui6se_PPyUuwhZU-RH_F__FiJSqH8pcAa913_1VqCt9YuqS9sRWrgopzFf1yhJesiF1SEIvrm3ZbxylBka-9xNK2BebV1II/s400/IMG_2244.JPG" width="322" />I</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Looks like it would be awkward to use...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am so going through sewing with-drawls right now. I'd sure like to be out at my little haven sewing, but I have much to do at home. DH is visiting friends down south, thus there is no interruptions here to interfere with things that must be done. So, gotta go!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Stitching!!</div>

Spend another five days at my personal retreat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes Annemiek, I did get snowed in again... lol</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't really mind though. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have "finally" finished up GS#1's rag quilt!! I just need to go to the laundromat and wash it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOg1GT8c3WfjRWCiImulFlbHm1k9GeajkPSUT-PBl-9KciIXkbGT0b6-ltodvVzwQRbtmgEtoxWkQ0tPZUEi13QPSBBvvb03ChzHWq82qfQycDoxxcOtrZz9CTk0owNGAqbNJznmbL9YM/s1600/IMG_2169.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOg1GT8c3WfjRWCiImulFlbHm1k9GeajkPSUT-PBl-9KciIXkbGT0b6-ltodvVzwQRbtmgEtoxWkQ0tPZUEi13QPSBBvvb03ChzHWq82qfQycDoxxcOtrZz9CTk0owNGAqbNJznmbL9YM/s320/IMG_2169.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I learned a lot making it! What to do, and what not to do... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes we just have to learn the hard way, and then the project gets kicked to the curb for a bit, until we are ready to deal with the "issues", and then finally complete it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Am I right ladies?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also got all of my BHM blocks done, AND all of my set-in triangles.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqp_HVAs64gR7RU_l91VQyGpoG-rdtdfZ5y2K5aDGrV6-Ku4LzMCzxb_aiACFPPwYl_JS-0Fsd9Hpkfgdon_cNf4ZLeS1bSBUjF3gauoh_zA8VMFsAkS8JQZasFw6Yvzl3UUrxXNgqvts/s1600/IMG_2232.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqp_HVAs64gR7RU_l91VQyGpoG-rdtdfZ5y2K5aDGrV6-Ku4LzMCzxb_aiACFPPwYl_JS-0Fsd9Hpkfgdon_cNf4ZLeS1bSBUjF3gauoh_zA8VMFsAkS8JQZasFw6Yvzl3UUrxXNgqvts/s400/IMG_2232.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I needed a change for a bit, so I got this project out and
completed all it's 25-patch units, and got some of the rows sewn. I
posted this photo on Quiltville's Facebook Page, with the question,
"Should I off-set the blocks, or do as the pattern says?" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN-8S5jgFn2-5OjkihC2VJu0VSi6SEFSYZtl2U_zidZ6YHo4MURvwffh4NbG1treF6LX91p0XTdU-SXtkj7ClqqDkVzHp6yzQ1F2uWIztbiCMoSFhOthyg-E4shvogxPD3Vpm1-o655QI/s1600/IMG_2238.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN-8S5jgFn2-5OjkihC2VJu0VSi6SEFSYZtl2U_zidZ6YHo4MURvwffh4NbG1treF6LX91p0XTdU-SXtkj7ClqqDkVzHp6yzQ1F2uWIztbiCMoSFhOthyg-E4shvogxPD3Vpm1-o655QI/s400/IMG_2238.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, the very big majority said to do off-set, so I stitch ripped the last row off, so I could do just that. Stay tuned.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is another photo of my hideaway sewing room. I have much to sort through and organize yet, as you can see. Hubby put shelves in both closets, and will put shelves in the middle there for me also. I plan to put my books, magazines, and patterns there. My cutting counter needs to find a space too yet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
It is not a big room. Much smaller than what I had at home, but I'm determined to make it work. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I just got home from a 4-night stay at my trailer. I finally have my sewing table out there, and I set it up right away for sewing. I had been sewing at the kitchen table.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I still need to get my cutting counter top out there, and have hubby attach legs to it. It was attached to the wall at home. I also still need to sort through some boxes... sigh...</div>

Then <span style="color: #660000;"><span style="color: black;">it</span> </span>is time to sew the set in triangles together, but I must find a different red for them.

We all went to watch T's hockey game late that afternoon. We had a good laugh, as a couple of times during the game, he'd skate by, stopped, and waved to all of us, while the rest of the team were playing the game. </div>

I didn't hack up the rest of the rail fence blocks, just in case I didn't like these blocks. I don't know what to do, besides throwing it all in the scrap bin and start from scratch again...?</div>

<i> </i>I had an unfortunate ending to my enjoyable retreat weekend. I did a slip-trip on the deck of the cottage when we were packing up my truck to head home. A right side fall... I broke my glasses, got a cut up an bruised eye/cheek, very sore fingers on right hand (so much for sewing for a while), sore shoulder and knee. I guess it was bound to happen. I haven't taken a spill like that in a very long time. Gravity bites!!!</div>

I fell behind on my 4th clue on Bonnie Hunter's Mystery... I was doing really well! Clues 1,2,4 were done before each new one came out. Then on the day Clue 4 came out, I got some cutting done, but then had to leave it to help DH dig me out at my trailer. My sewing haven.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
But in the trailer it was quite delightful,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had no where to go, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUgN2zFx2huRXTmr64bkL98XYai3bsnGI7y2RHGb-AIsd6hQSFuJpMh5JSVRUPxrbGE2gUG_kWB0pCARTGdsaBNXTl5Fj8wuV9C3sRKRLczZ_jrTGX3M0W3_ZamLLT1Iv5t4uV7o_D3Vs/s1600/IMG_1479.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUgN2zFx2huRXTmr64bkL98XYai3bsnGI7y2RHGb-AIsd6hQSFuJpMh5JSVRUPxrbGE2gUG_kWB0pCARTGdsaBNXTl5Fj8wuV9C3sRKRLczZ_jrTGX3M0W3_ZamLLT1Iv5t4uV7o_D3Vs/s320/IMG_1479.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then, there was too much snow (drifts) to get the truck to the road, but I was happily using my time sewing. First I finished Clue #3 of Bonnie's Mystery...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Then while waiting for Clue #4 I worked on this project. The blocks are now sewn into rows. Now the rows need to be sewn. Slow and steady... Remember, these colors are out of my comfort zone... What do you think?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I was at the trailer all week (couldn't go anywhere even if I wanted to), and then DH came to help dig me out.... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Shovel-Scoops... Two and a half hours later, I was able to drive out of there... First winter doing my hideaway! Tis a learning experience!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have started Clue#4, but forgot to take a photo of it before I left my haven.</div>

Thursday I worked on my Summer Solstice project. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It had been a while since its been out of the box!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is just 1/3 of the blocks put into rows...</div>

Halfway through the day, making good strides.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Though I didn't take a pic when I was done for the day, I did manage to get just over 2/3s of the blocks put into rows. Felt really good about that!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<a href="http://quiltville.blogspot.ca/p/allietare-mystery.html" target="_blank">Bonnie's 3rd clue it out!!! </a>Wish I could have stayed at my hideaway to work on it. Instead, I will be home, babysitting 3 of my grandchildren, so that their Ma can meet a friend for coffee, and do some more Christmas shopping. Tomorrow is another day for sewing!</div>

First up, AS's Christmas Table Topper. The true colors are not showing up. The colors are very striking in reality, with gold bits in the fabric. It grew in length by another two blocks after this photo was taken. AS found a pic of this on Pinterest, and created it from that.</div>

YN's "I Spy" from our charm exchange. A Zipper pattern. Here she is auditioning fabrics for inner border. We all liked the gold fabric she puller from her BHM box. She had enough of it for a bit in both projects.</div>

To the left of the I Spy is a part of her table topper in progress. Love the effect. True colors not showing.</div>

This Cardinal wall-quilt to be, is our LS's work. Machine applique to be done yet....We all love Cardinals...I think it is because we don't have any where we live. We have Blue-Jays though!</div>

My Cousin-in-Law, DT came for a visit during our retreat and showed us some of her latest quilt top creations. This first one was started at our retreat in mid November. She was not enjoying putting the pinwheels together, but now that this top is done, she is thinking of making another!!</div>

Good thing one friend suggested I count what I have cut. I wasn't going to, but then, I'm so glad I did! I cut way too many sets, and strips! (seen in photo) I would still be cutting and sewing them up. I would have ended up with enough for two quilts I'm sure!<br />

Later this week those shelves will be full. I am still slowly moving items from my home</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
sewing room, to the trailer, and will then again have another spare bedroom at home, for when our children and grand-children all come from out of town to stay for Christmas.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

My "Oak Forest" seems to have a new tree growing each week. Now there<br />
are 8/12 growing. Wondering if all 12 will eventually sprout? Time will tell! </div>
