Ending the year on a good note

Well... a posting is long overdue.  Over 2 months since I last wrote any words on my blog.  The big problem started when my laptop died and I got it replaced but somehow lost everything.  Then we headed to our winter home and have been avoiding taking pictures and downloading them to the laptop.  So easy to take pictures with my phone but don't know how to get them from my phone to my blog.
Enough excuses?
I have also been really busy with tennis and am a captain this year so it seems to take a bit of time dealing with the issues, organizing players, teams and games.
But now, on Christmas break, I actually got to go to a quilting meeting of the Stitchers and also made a point of getting a lesson on the Pfaff Grand quilter long arm that was donated to our group.

So moving along, I have completed a few projects.

I ordered a cute kit of tea towels with prairie points and those are finished and one is already on its way as a Christmas gift.

So now I can't get my pictures to upload?  Grrrrr.

I will continue to write the descriptions and hope that this problem solves itself! (had to switch browers and it worked, finally?)

I made two infinity scarves, again from kits that I purchased at a quilt show this past summer.

And an apron is finished from a panel.
Plus one of those 10 minute table runners that took me longer than 10  minutes.


I made Gather Together but haven't quilted it yet... soon?

And I found a project that was strips of snowman fabrics all cut up into 2.5" squares and 2.5" x 6.5" strips.  The pattern with it was not the right pattern for the size of the cut strips.  So I got creative and figured out a block.


And I decided to join the 150 blocks to celebrate Canada's 150th birthday in 2017 and there are three blocks a week and I am actually up to date!




So, now I have this figure out, no more excuses to take pictures and post my updates!
