Week 29 Blocks 85-87 Back to Reality.

Week 29 
Been away for two weeks and am still not back in the groove. Have 2 more days to get ready for the Lethbridge Quilt Show June 2 & 3. Stop by and see us beside the Wonderfil Thread booth. Will have fabrics at a great price.

Spent a beautiful Monday hiking in the Brown Lowery Provincial Park in the foothills. We sure cannot beat the beauty of the valleys and rolling foothills with the Canadian Rockies background. Am grateful to live in a beautiful part of the world.

These next three women's fields of expertise range from VON to orchestra conductor to art on the $10 bill. I am amazed at the variety of fields that Canadian born women have conquered and there being such little knowledge about them. Why is that? I am very grateful to discover these women I never would have known. Thank you Canada for turning 150.

Week 28 at Quilt Market

St Louis Missouri was hot and muggy or rainy outside and cold and air conditiony inside. At times you had to go outside to warm up. 
This quilt, Second Chances by Rhonda Dort, is awesome. Speechless at the amount of handwork and intricate details in each 6" hexagon.







Week 28 - 
No these are not new blocks. They are blocks that you received last week in the double header. We are moving along rather grandly and hope you are as well. If you have competed them already, woo hoo, you have a week off.


Enjoy!

Double Release - Blocks 79-81 and 82-84

Hope you all had a great Mother's Day! We spent ours on the back deck watching the birds at all the bird feeders and smelling the mayday flowers.




Weeks 27 and 28 are being released today, Monday, at the same time. So on Tuesday May 23 you will have a breather if you manage to complete all 6 this week. Finicky blocks are about half and half. Remember, the final seams can be pressed in different directions or pressed open so the block lays flat.
