Winter Harp O Come, O Come Emmanuel

Arnie and I went to see Winter Harp in Maple Ridge.  It was awesome.  I can't wait to go again next year.  After the performance we went to Palliotti's Italian restaurant and had a lovely dinner.  It was a great day out.

Sewing for Christmas

I made a candle mat for a Secret Santa exchange at my quilt guild.  It is so cute, I think I will make one for my self for next Christmas.







I also made some little yo yo trees that are tree decorations for a ornament exchange.  A few of my friends will be getting the little trees too.

Baby quilt

I made this baby quilt for a young man that my hubby works for.  It is a first baby for him and his wife. I

UFO finished

I have been busy finishing a UFO called Spring Breeze.  It was an online mystery and I am sure glad to have it finished.  It was the first quilt quilted on my new sewing machine.  What a nice machine! I think it should be called Summer Cacophony because it is so loud! (the quilt, not the machine lol)

New Sewing Room

November has been so busy for me.  I decided to turn my son's old bedroom into my new sewing room.  I had thought of doing it a few years ago, but I loved my bright, sunny yellow room and although it was a tight squeeze it was comfortable.  Well the squeeze has gotten tighter and so I felt it was time to give my self more space.  I took the room from pumpkin orange to sunset glow. Well it is still orange, but a more glowy orange.  I don't have as much shelf room as I had in my old space, but I will figure out something there.  Maybe use up some of the stuff I have stored ha ha.  So here are the pictures of the old room and the new room.

Old room
A little hard to cut out fabric on my cutting desk


The computer will be going and then I will have a design wall here and my ironing board.

Cutting desk uncluttered, hopefully it will stay this way ha ha.
