WIP Wednesday

Busy, busy, busy, week so far...and I love it! Tonight is sewing night with the girls; always lots of fun there. Last week I showed you the embroidery quilt I was hand quilting and a Christmas piece I was working on. So; they are both finished....

 The quilt is now bound and waiting to be delivered.

 These are my 'Black Tie' pieces...my post was yesterday.

 This is the finished Christmas trees....they sparkle like crazy!!

 The table runner is bound now.

I am binding 'Take Five' right now....

See; all bunched up on the couch waiting for me...lol

I hand quilted this one over the weekend; took it out today...it is 60x60

I just put this one in to hand quilt....for the same customer

 I quilted this wall hanging on the Tiara this morning....still needs to be bound.

Well; that is it for me this week folks. Have a great week...and join me over at Monika's and Lee

Black Tie Boogie!!!!!

It's my turn..yay!!!!!!!!!!!!

We all know how wonderful and generous our Madame Samm is; right??  She does so much for us.....can you imagine how much spare time I would have if I didn't love her blog hops so very much?????? lol  Thank you Madame!!!  And we have to include our cheerleaders in there also;which leads me to Vickie for this one.  Red Rooster and Bird Brain Designs are our wonderful sponsors for this round.  Thank you to each of you...

I love getting ready for these, and this one was so much fun. I decided to make a table topper and placemats to match(sort of). For the placemats; I used my GoBaby die to make hens and eggs. The table topper had to be extra special; so I found my glorious rooster applique. He certainly is special in all his glory.

 As my sewing buddy, Connie  said "the head rooster wouldn't sit for us" so.....

 Doesn't he just look in charge!!

Or maybe you prefer tea to the wine?????

 Since it was such a nice morning; I got him away from those hens and took a stroll to the pond.

 He graced my table which sits in the trees by the pond

Then last, but not least rested for a moment by the garage. isn't he the proudest bird!!!!
Well; I hope you liked my little family and I thank you for visiting.

 This is done with 21/2`` charms...was quick and fun.

Well;; that`s it for me today...off to finish laundry and do a little hand quilting on a customer quilt.

If I seem excited that it is Friday; not really...goes by too quickly. But it is a beautiful sunny cool day here in New Brunswick, I have laundry on the line and have been doing things outside...lovely day!!

I finished hand quilting the embroidery quilt yesterday; and have a couple of pics for you to see.

It isn't bound yet, but that will be on in a couple of days. Then delivered!!!!!

The lighting is so very bad; this quilt is all white on the back. I didn't want to take it outside...just in case I got something on it....

Hopefully you can get the jest of it here....

Have a great weekend folks!!!!

Before I get started on me and my work; I want to thank SewSisters for hosting this and  for the great giveaway. We also have to thank Northcott; who is sponsoring a giveaway on Sew Sisters blog.

                                                                                                                                            

Hello folks; if you haven't been here before...my name is Marjorie. I live in Shepody, Southeastern New Brunswick; a very beautiful part of Canada. Now not 2 miles from me; is the Hopewell Rocks Park...world famous for the largest flower pots in the world. Click here for the Park site.

                                            

I live in a rural community; between Shepody Mt. and Shepody Bay..I have one of the best views around.
This first one is looking from my back yard toward the river.

 This is our pond...full of Canada geese...I love watching them

 This is when he felt I was getting too close...he gave a loud honk and soon they flew.

This is one taken at Mary's Point(bird sanctuary) this past summer...we had 2 of our grandsons with us. They loved the mud!

I have been married for 40 years to a wonderful man; we were babies when we met...lol.  I have 3 grown sons, 4 grandsons and 1 grand daughter.  The ladies in my son's lives are just the best!! 

I have been hand quilting for at least 30 years now; oh heavens...I feel so old now!!!!  I love what I do as my hobby. It is the most fun past time I could think of. And since I started blogging; just 3 years ago...I have met so many fantastic people and learned a tremendous amount from all of you.

I join in on as many blog hops as I possibly can handle...I find them very hard to resist; so I don't...lol

Now; before I ramble too much I am going to show you a few pictures of my quilts.

 The Bluenose

 Gone Fishin

 Hexie Baby Quilt

 Wool Flannel Disappearing 9 Patch

Take Five....this one is my first queen size machine quilted quilt....I have a Tiara which I am still getting used to. Great machine...it's new for me to machine quilt. I get together a couple of times a week with sewing buddies to create projects together...so much fun!!! Two of them are on my list below. I do hand quilting for other people...who may take a class on piecing or simply don't like to quilt.
