New Project

Happy Canada Day!

It's our second year under covid restrictions with no public celebrations. So again we will celebrate safely at home and enjoy having a day off work.

And you know what that means... it's a day to sew!

My local quilt guild is offering a new mystery adventure for the members to encourage them to keep them sewing over the summer. It is designed by one of our members (Judy Eckhardt) so that is doubly exciting! It starts today, so I will be spending my Canada Day sewing a new mystery project and that is also something to celebrate!

The fabrics I am using were coordinated by one of our members using fabric that was donated to the guild.  I will be sewing with yardage (versus sewing with scraps) which is something I haven't done in a long time.

I have my bobbins filled, a new rotary blade ready to go, and I plan to relax and sew all day! 

The perfect way to celebrate Canada Day!

    I did a little sewing yesterday and wish I could sew all day today too, but no...
    Looks like you are all ready for a day of sewing! Have fun!

    Happy Canada Day! I am taking a page from your book and starting not one, not two but three new quilts this month including two mystery quilts. Never done one of those before and I am jumping into two of them. A new blade in my rotary cutter sounds like a good idea if I could only find my rotary cutter.

    Hope you had a great Canada Day. DH was hoping we could make it up to Canada this summer, but it doesn't look like we will be allowed in.
    A new mystery?? What a novel idea. :)
