Lone Star Quilt

I have decided to list my Lone Star quilt on Kijiji. Here is the picture I posted:
 I hope it sells. I am asking only $400.00 - much less than it would go for down south.
It is hand quilted and fits a queen sized bed.

Snowman

I have just finished this cute snowman that I won last Guild meeting. He turned out really cute - at least I think so. It is a panel that I machine quilted and pinked around the edge - very easy.
It will be for sale at Unique Treasures for a few weeks. We are open until Dec.16, then closed for the winter.It has been a good year with many of my articles sold. Sometimes you think they will never sell, but then someone  comes in and finds something they like. Like my Yo Yo




pillows. I have made and sold two of them - go figure! It is interesting to see folks chose what they do. We are thinking of opening again next year - at least until the building is sold. It has been very kind of Kathleen to allow us to use her facility so far.
So have a good day!

Hi all,
Sorry I have been away so long! Bet you missed me -LOL:)
   We are winding down the Unique Treasures store this week and have been very busy making Christmas articles to sell. We have had a good summer, but it is a little slow at this time of year.
The tourists are gone, and hunters don't usually buy place mats.
   I am also singing in our local choir - The Manitoulin Chorister- a small group of SAB that Marilyn has formed to sing at our churches for Christmas, and maybe at the  Kiwanis festival in Sudbury next April/May. It is wonderful to be singing in a group again. I was in my church choir for 10 years way back in the day in  Burlington, and I have missed it. Hope the old voice holds up!!
    The garden is almost done and I cut back my roses yesterday and mounded them up with soil for the long sleep in the cold. It was beautiful yesterday, so I took advantage of it to be outside. The cats (all 3) were running around gleefully. I can't take pictures because I left my camera in Wanup the last time we met for the Elizabeth-Am lunch. I miss it very much. You get so used to being able to go take a picture and put it on the computer. What convenience!
    Well that's all folks for now. Hope I will be able to show you something soon. The camera is coming back next week!!! Hurray!
    Have a good day! Linda
