I am taking things easy and spending some time sorting and cleaning up my sewing basement because I am having a houseguest! Very happy to say that my dear friend, Karen of KaHolly will be spending a few days with me. We are both very excited about getting the chance to spend some quality quilty time together. We have known each other for a few years and met through our blogs. Karen lives on Cape Breton Island( a 3 1/2 hr drive from me) for part of the year and spends the other part in the U.S. We only get the chance to spend real time together for a few hours a couple of times a year. So spending a few days together will be just amazing!
As luck would have it, Thursday evening is the September meeting of my lovely little guild, the Maritime Modern Quilt Guild and since Karen will be here, we can attend together. That will be such fun. There will be lots of photos.
I really need to get some baby sewing done soon but until I do, here is a look at the gorgeous baby blanket that my Knitty Sister made for her new grandbaby. It is soooo soft and the colour is amazing. If you would like details on this little beauty please feel free to ask and I can find out for you.
I have started a new Facebook page to share my fabric addiction. It is called "The Fabric Pig" (yes I am!) "Like" it so you can follow along with me and you can share some of your fave fabric acquisitions. I know I am not the only one!
I didn't sew anything today, but I hope that you did!
Hello Fabric Pig!! LOL
