Looks like I made it :-)

 Tomorrow is the big day at the Thistle Quilt guild, our annual show will take place from 10-4 pm at the civic building in Westville and I hope to see a few of you there . As you can imagine , it has been a super busy week for me , I had last minute things to finish up to be ready for this evening when I take my items over to set up the hall for the morning .  I am ahead of myself compared to other years , I have my tote packed and everything labeled , a pure miracle . I made a cherry,pineapple loaf this morning for the tea room , we serve a lovely little lunch of breads and cookies and of course tea served in nothing other than china cups , too bad you can't come Michelle , you would love our pretty cups ;-)
 As I said I have been busy and yesterday I finally finished up Darlene's mystery quilt ,(Darlene is the owner of the quilt shop in Digby called A Needle Pulling Thread ),  started in 2013 and quilted by Holy Name Quilters , of which I am a member but did very little on my quilt as a few weeks into the quilting was when I broke my wrist . So it sat for a while after I did get it back as hand stitching was still not possible and then when I finally did get around to it , the fibers of the real alpaca wool really did a number on my sinuses so it sat half finished . I sat outside on the deck with the  quilt on a chair in front of me and began sewing but then the farmer decided it was a great day to plant the field which they had prepared a few days before hand and the dust was too much for me so back in the house and I nearly roasted trying to get this sewn down , think I deserve a prize just for persisting lol . Anyhow , it is done , complete , all finished !!! I did take it back out and hung it over the railing for a photo shoot , want to see , you might be sick of seeing this one,

 Then I hung it over the chair I started stitching at , too bad that didn't work out as it was so pleasant there until the dust came .

So I will have five quilts in the show , pretty happy about that and the best part is finishing up quilts that have been around for a while . 

Oh you know how much I love to go for country drives , well Bill had to go out to a property and I went along for the drive as I knew it involved some back roads . I spotted this very interesting spot and asked him to stop so I could take a picture , well being the sweet guy that he is he offered to take some for me , the black flies were really bad , better he get bitten than me lol .

I just have a thing for moss and lichen , something very interesting in their appearance to me . Love this picture , you did a great job Bill !! 

Sorry I haven't been around visiting blogs lately , next week I should be back on schedule . Wish us luck for a successful show tomorrow , oh and we will have two vendors as well , keep forgetting to mention that , Mira  Stitchin Post will be with us as well as a new shop in Halifax called Patch , should be fun to see what Chris has to offer ,so bring along some cash, I am sure you will be tempted by something , I know I will .

 Thanks for stopping by today and hope to see you tomorrow , I will be the silver haired lady selling magazines for just $.50 each between 2-4 pm.
