Cesar

I had the very good fortune to attend the Dog Whisperer show while visiting my son .It was truly amazing , he is so talented , humorous and informative . We had great seats just two rows from the stage which made the experience special . Our seats allowed us to stay after the show and there was a 30minute question and answer session but unfortunately our questions were not among those asked . However it was interesting. and I learned a few things as well. If you ever have the opportunity to see him in person I highly recommmend going.
Have a great day .

Home again!

I had a wonderful visit with my son and his family and really enjoyed my time with these adorable grandchildren , Sophia and Isaac ,so much fun and so smart . I think they make them smarter these days :-0
I did miss blogging and you will also note a name change for my blog , I guess I wasn't suppose to use the title Quilters World as there is a quilt magazine with that name which i knew but honestly didn't think about that when chosing a name , just used the first thing that came into my head .
Time to get back to some stitching now too , sure missed Bernice my sewing machine so must dust off the cobwebs and get something made ;-) Great to be back .Have yourself a  wonderful day .

Crazy Quilting Friday

Since I am participating in Colourful Fridays and this weeks colour is pink I thought a pink crazy block was the perfect solution. Now I did cheat a bit here as I had this small logcabin block left over from a pink log cabin quilt I made for my granddaughter Nila a couple of years ago so I just added a few more strips around it and voila ! I am a little pressed for time right now so any embellishment will have to wait until later .  Betsy is host to Crazy Quilting Fridays and to visit her blog go here ,I am sure she will have a beautiful block to see today .
Have yourself a great Friday.

November finish

Last Saturday I attended a workshop with our local quilt guild and this is the bag I made during that class . The pattern was designed by one of our guild members Wilma and she gave us instructions for various sizes of this style bag and there were some really stunning results
. My computer crashed last week and we just purchased this new one and I am trying to get use to it plus all my files etc. are still on the old PC :-( I downloaded picasa to use for posting pictures as it seems to be the easiest way I have found . I didn't think to take pictures of the inside of the bag but there are two sets of pockets , with divided sections in each , really nice bag style ,thanks Wilma!
