Outdoor Living

Spending time at the cottage sewing and gardening.

Last day of Lizzy's Meadow Quilt camp

There was lots of late night sewing ... from one curve to the other...

lots of spray starch and glue sticks to sew in  circles - and it worked!

and finally it's coming together

I am exhausted but can't stop sewing

this is Debbie's pile Nano iro fabric - gorgeous!

Karyn's fabric stash

This is the very talented fabric designer and teacher

our group of very happy campers

Sewing Camp - Day 1 -

I just had to share this photo what happened last night in Toronto.

This is how the streets looked 24 hours ago in Toronto. Rain pounded down on the core in the big city.

Summer camp for adults at the workroom

Here are my fabric choices. This time I dared to pick a deep navy blue
from Robert Kaufman as my background.

more to come after this day of camp wraps up.....

What does the weather do to you?

The summer of 2013 hasn't been a real scorcher yet. I had to look up the Farmer's Almanac and I am still waiting for the predicted head lines " warm to hot with normal precipitation". Here was another humid weekend with torrential rain and few hours of sun.

I made a big jug of a thirst cruncher ...sassy water, cucumber, lemon & mint

finished a big star quilt for a friend

and went out with my camera

I found this butterfly while cutting grass with his extraordinary colours.

Twin horses??? These two horses had every move synchronized.

picked up some eggs from our farmer down the road.... and drove to my favourite place to Jordan "Stitch".  Jocelyn hosted  " Airing of the quilts" in her backyard .

At the end of the day, my husband and I  go for a walk and hope to see the deer. We call it.... walk the land!
