You know time flies when....

you see your grand-children graduate

 Yes! that is Miss Émilie performing at her Pre-school graduation

 And here she receives her diploma.. in grand-mère eyes she graduates with honors...

2013 graduate... Miss Émilie

Gerald and I spent a wonderful week-end at  a retreat in Halifax.. called "Ignite" ...

Here we are getting ready to leave with our good friends for a very wonderful spiritual experience.

 and here we are ... having arrived

If you recall I mentioned  on few previous post how my sister,. Simone, loves aprons? Every time she comes for a visit it gives me the opportunity  to make her one and so this is the one I made her for this visit.

She loves shoes ,,, and she has a HUGE collection so I couldn't resist .. embroidered a shoe and her new apron.

At the guild last Saturday we had the privilege of having teacher Karen Henry come and do a workshop on

Freezer Paper Piecing .. this is some of her "Show and Tell" projects in that technique.  

 Karen explains well ..

 She keeps everyone interested and removes the fears of  making a new project

Fun! Fun! Fun!  A great time was had by all...Karen is a great teacher♥

Then it is time for lunch, and across the street we go to La Cuisine Robicheau... Oh but the home made pie is too good to pass up... some had coconut. others chocolate... Yummy! that was after a beautiful Hot Lobster dinner...

But in spite all the food  I did manage to stay awake in the afternoon session and

 finish the  project we did with Karen Henry... 

 We have two more Guild meetings left and then we close until September.

Now we get ready for the Quilt Show...

From July 29 to August 2
At the Église Sacré-Coeur/ Sacred Heart  Church in
Saulnierville Nova Scotia !
