Four Season's Swap

I've been seeing so many Four Season's quilt in progress and some even mailing them already....stop already....I'm just starting mine. You guys are too fast for me. So here is my progress on my swap quilt. I know your thinking but it's not fall colours. There will be 4 yellow baskets which are representing harvest time and the colour yellow is very much similar to a harvest moon, so that's my thoughts for autumn theme quilt. The jury will be out until we see it all completed.
I've finished the top for my Bundling Board quilt. I'm really liking how the machine applique came together but having said that, I not sure if I would continue to do applique by machine. I can say I tried it. We'll see how I feel when I start another one.

On a personal note, my oldest daughter got a job at the University she attends....I'm so excited for her. She can make some spending money and not have far to travel to work.

Thanks for stopping by to visit, I love to receive your comments and look forward to them often.
Happy Stitching, Quilting, Sewing etc.

This and That

Time is sure flying by these days, I don't know where all the time is going. We took off early Friday and headed for the Ferry going to Victoria. We didn't expect to get there and NOT have to wait but got lucky and caught the Ferry leaving in 10 mins. We were mentally getting ready to sit in Starbucks for an hour sipping our coffee but got lucky, I think....I missed out on my latte...boo hoo

After having lunch in Victoria we were off to see the Titanic Exhibit at the BC Museum. What a tragic lose of so many. It was interesting to see dishes still in tact and wine bottles with wine in them, not bad for laying on the bottom of the ocean for 80 years. Wouldn't want to drink that wine...

That evening we drove to Lake Cowichan for some relaxation and a little paddling on the lake, in between the rain storms, well one big storm. My FIL and MIL were so kind to attempt picking blackberries for me. Ouch...those thorns are worse that a rose bush. So when I got home I made Blackberry jam and since I had a few raspberries they went in the jam too. But then I thought what the heck and through in some blueberries. So here you have it "Mixed Berry Jam".
Made some progress on my Bundling Board blocks, as you can see I've only finished one block and the other 2 have pins in them but are ready for sewing down. The fourth block is ready for "starch ironing" of the pieces. With only 4 blocks the quilt will be done soon. The finished size is 63"x63", not a bad size for a cuddle quilt.
