It’s me again. Here’s the second piece I sent for the Quilting Arts Calendar Challenge 2010 “Flavor of the Month”. This one was not selected as a finalist, but thought you’d like to see it. It is called “This is my mother” and it is for the month of May, in honor of mothers everywhere:…
Good evening, Last week I received some good news: one of the two pieces I entered into the Quilting Arts Calendar Challenge 2010 “Flavor of the Month” was accepted as a finalist. The piece is 12″ x 12″, and it is called “Sopa Rosita”, it is the flavor for the month of November. My sister…
Good evening, I just wanted to apologize for the “Technical Difficulties” we are having with the blog, so you can’t see the photos that were posted in previous blogs. We are working diligently to resolve the issue, but we need to re-upload all photos, so it may take a while. In the meantime, I ask…
Good evening, I finally find a minute to sit down and send an update. I have been absent for a while, and if you check my blog from time to time, you might have noticed. A lot has happened in the last few weeks, mainly, we sold the house and I finally purchased one. I…
Good morning, It’s been a while since I posted a message. Life got in the way, and it seemed I had nothing new to say. Yesterday it was a beautiful day here in Calgary, so I got in my car and drove to Canmore. I hadn’t been there in a while, so I enjoyed the…
Good evening, When I was in Houston in October, my friend Marcela took me shopping to a very nice store (new to me) called Anthropologie (since then I have found out that they have opened a store in the West Edmonton Mall). I loved everything in it, and I managed to purchase a few things….
Please note that there are no photos available for this blog. Good morning from Calgary once again, We woke up today to sunny clear skies and “warm” temperatures (about 5 degrees Celsius as a high today – everything is relative!) and they are supposed to stay around that for the next couple of days, which…
Happy New Year and best wishes for 2010. The New Year has started and with it a new decade. My start was quite different this time around. I spent New Year’s Eve on my own,. Woke up at 12:01 when the neighbors lighted some fireworks. Went back to bed, and woke up really early to…
Merry Christmas from Calgary! This is the view from my window on Christmas Day, early in the morning. We had a wonderful time. The three kids were home on Christmas Eve, they came early to help cook and prepare for the evening. I picked Sabrina up at her friend’s at 10:00 a.m. and we went…
OK, let’s see if this works better. I have uploaded the images first, and will type in between! I have been working on the yellow tulips that are painted on the quilted background I showed you on the last blog. Once that was done and prepared, I marked the tulips on the background using a…
Good morning, It’s early here on this Friday morning. I have a day off work, which is always nice and am getting ready to go out and do some shopping, hopefully before the snow storm hits. But … I have a few minutes before I leave, so I thought I’d post some photos of the…
I can’t believe it’s been a couple of weeks since I blogged last. Where does time go? I wasn’t even having that much fun! The days seem to fly by lately, more than usual, I guess. I have been getting busy at work again, which is a good thing, as it makes the days go…
Good afternoon, I thought I’d let you know about Design Matters TV. Check Linda and Laura Kemshall’s website and discover a lively mix of shows on a variety of subjects that you love from the comfort of your home. You just need to sign up and pay a yearly fee and then you will get…
I am very happy to report that I have been confirmed to once again teach at Quilting in the Trees in Victoria, in June 2010. This year was my first year teaching there, and I loved it. The setting is perfect, at Pearson College, rustic but very comfortable. The food was very nice (and they…
Good evening, I need to let you know that I am still getting used to this “blogging” and it seemed to me the other day that my blog was acting temperamental. I couldn’t really do what I wanted to, so … that’s why the first blog looks the way it does. I have since found…
