Happy Thanksgiving to all my US friends and Family

Wow, what great weather we are having. I have washed all my windows that should have been done ages ago. Laundry out on the line ,comes in fresh and no ironing, that I like.
   I have been following a blog shop hop and it is so interesting. There are about 8 to view each day. They are all doing a row house pillow ,with some making it a runner or wall hanging. I have one started and hope to make a few. I know Jackie, pictures. I am working on it, I have to get another memory stick just for my blog.
  Great sale for black Friday at Threads that Bind in Maxwell, my favourtite quilt store. They are having 40% off reg priced fabric and do they have lovely fabric. Hold back ,Diane ,hold back.
   My king size quilt is just about done, top. Have to enquire about the Amish close by quilting it. I am planning on putting a spring backing on so I can reverse it for the spring and summer months.
Have a great day and enjoy this weather as colder temps are coming on the weekend.

October gone

Had a great time in Burlington at the fibre arts show. Got so many ideas  and so many talented people,just amasing.  Off tomorrow, Fri. to the shop hop in Kitchener, St. jacobs, Shakespeare and Stradford with fellow quilters. We went to the spring one and we left a dint in the stores. Side stop at Dorking, Amish fabric store , New Hamburg quilt store and Lens Mills, rather a full day. I have a few things I am looking for and  few other things may jump into my hand.
  Just joined stashbusters and they are all doing "hidden wells, made a table runner for myself. Today at quilt time ,Jo showed us "hidden bobbins", so made two blocks and have another new block idea.
 I have 4 rows of my king quilt for our bed done. It is a lot of sewing and pinning . Trying to do a row every few days. Can't wait to get it done. Haven't decided what  want to put on the back. This side is more fall and I want to make it spring/summer on the back.
  Playing with Zen quilting, which is like doddling in black on a quilt block. I will post a few of the above when I ge them inot my computer.
 Well, off to try my hand at bingo with a friend. Hope I win  one game.
