I have entered Quilting Gallery's Weekly Themed Quilt contest. This week's theme: FOR LITTLE BOYS. so I entered the soccer quilt I made for my nephew at Christmas. If you think mine is worthy of a vote, then head over to the gallery and cast your vote. Mine is called GOOOOOAAAAAAL.

Time to watch more Olympics GO CANADA GO!!!

Oh so busy...

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. Life is going as fast as the Olympians on the luge. Our weekends are just as busy as the week days it seems. There is usually a few dance classes to get the girls to, as well as at least 2 soccer games. It was so busy this last week I didn't even get to the grocery store. In the few minutes I could find, (while waiting for the washer to finish) I managed to piece this rag quilt together. It will be for one of the dance teachers who is expecting her first. I have to make a girl version since we don't know what she is having.

I am still working on my niece's string quilt. It is all pieced and sandwiched, just need a few hours behind the machine to quilt it. Not sure if that will happen this week as I am working three days and most nights this week I will be at soccer practices/games.

Have a great week everyone and hope you get some sewing time in.

GO CANADA GO!!!

We are getting ready to celebrate the opening of the Winter Olympics that are being hosted in Vancouver, Bristish Columbia, Canada. We're having a bit of party to get in the Olympic spirit and cheer on our athletes and our neighbouring province that is hosting. Everyone coming is bringing an appetizer from a participating country. Should be a fun evening!!!

Vintage Thingie Thursday

I haven't participated in Vintage Thingy Thursday hosted by Suzanne at Colorado Lady in ages. Just been busy. As I sat and looked other blogs and their items. I wondered what in the world I could post about today? As I look to the right of my laptop there hangs this little vintage treasure practically in my face. This Wecolme Door Harp was my paternal Grandmother's. She always had it on the back of her door as long as I could remember. For 10 years of my childhood she lived in the house attached to ours, so I

saw her quite often growing up.

It rings so sweetly when jiggled. (sorry the photos are blurry, like me, the batteries in my camera were running out!) Why the black line? not sure. I can see faintly it says "Welcome Door Harp Co". I don't have it on any of my doors, with three kids coming and going I don't think it would survive.

Happy VTT!
