This is the kind of week it has been.......

BUSY BUSY BUSY! As I had mentioned I had quite a few meetings scheduled this last week but they all got attended to and I did fit in some sewing....

Elaine came to sew on Friday and I think we chatted more than we sewed...

She is the Guild's secratary and so we discuss issues about the guild . We started the meetings again and 10 more people registered ...:) total 63 members

I did get a Little cushion made for the Guild..

An upholstery company from Toronto donated all kinds of fabric to the guild and I sewed the project as a sample of what we can do with it.

Elaine was busy and made this beautiful project...... Table topper, placemats

"Around The Table" by Karen Neary

and she made napkins to match. Beautiful... She made this for a friend she visited this summer in Boston.

You can purchase this pattern here and others she has designed..

For my weekly projects I did get all my stippling and quilting done

as well as my two star blocks...
Although the weather is not fall-like I feel that fall is in the air and with it comes the coziness of wood burning and long evenings. That motivates me to do some hand quilting.
So I have a little lap quilt ready in the hoop..
It took me all of last fall and winter to do one that size, so I imagine it will be my 2011/2012 quilting project.. I am a novice at handquilting but I enjoy it and want to learn the right way of doing it. There are amazing hand quilters in the guild and I do hope to get some pointers from them.

Best wishes go out to all the students and the teachers who have returned to school today
