I am linking up a day late, as my camera decided to be dead today and I so wanted to include photos of what I have been up to.

I just love when it is a good sewing day and things just come together ...don't you! Well this was one of those weekends. I had a class at guild on panels and putting them together or what to do with them. I just took some small blocks that I had here and am going to make a cuddle quilt for charity.So I got most of the pieces sewn on Saturday and than on Sunday I finished the quilt. Measurements and the math worked out well and I even found a backing fabric that was just the right size .I even got fancy and did a two coloured binding. Green to match the front and use up scraps and blue to match the Pooh backing fabric. So I thought I was on a roll, I started a second quilt.

This left the evening to do some hand stitching and relaxing time with DH and netflix.

bright sunny kaleidoscope on a cold winter day |
I put the final stitches in my kaleidoscope and it is done. Then I did some binding on the first charity quilt and then it was bedtime.
If I could only continue at this pace I would get so much done..but life has a way of getting in the way, as I am sure you all know!!!Off to guild tonight to show off some of my weekend handy work!!
Kaleidoscope pic was taken in my driveway on a three foot high snowbank!! Yep it is still winter here in Northern Ontario!!
Those light blues are beautiful on that child's quilt. Your kaleidoscope is incredible!
