Quilting Fool

As some of you know I have found a new hobby and want to learn enough to be capable of making some projects this winter.... Machine Quilts.   My old sewing machine was good to me for forty years; but I just couldn't resist a new Baby Lock.    Wow it's like going from the Dinasour age to the Space age.   This machine is awesome, just wish I knew how to use it!!!  Seriously I am reading all 4 manuals slowly and doing a small project, a table runner to learn.  I am taking a 7 week quilting class at Quilting Confections. The ladies are super nice and so helpful and our teacher Heather made us feel at ease while teaching us all the tricks to making a beautiful quilt. Then when we are down south I can feel comfortable stitching away.  "Oh and yes all our kids and grand kids and friends and family will be getting quilts from here on....  Ha ha!"

Summer seems to have cooled down into the mid 70's.   Local's say summer forgot to come to Ontario this year. 

Ahoy there mate is your captain aboard???  Looks like a Tall Ship has pulled into our harbour.  This sailing ship came in one night and her home port is Halifax, Nova Scotia!!! She is a little ways from home. 

There was a big Art and Craft show in the village boulevard last weekend.  We met many old friends and saw some cool stuff.  See what you can make from junk?  

And the neatest idea was a photographer that takes pictures of letters in day to day items then puts the letters together to spell a picture word !!!! 

I have not seen this before and thought it was pretty nifty.....
