Summer fun is drawing to a close, but what a summer it was!
I'd registered for a class with Rosalie Dace, but she was refused at the border and had to fly home to South Africa instead of teaching. The legendary FREDDY MORIN came out of retirement to step in.
I've long admired this person. Basically, I want to be Freddy when I grow up!
The outdoor quilt show was gorgeous. I love the setting as much as I love the quilts!
Carolyn Friedlander toured us through her quilts on Sunday morning at the spectacular Five Pines Lodge.
I really didn't know her work prior to this event, but her stories inspired me - I love to hear the thinking behind creative endeavours.
I picked up one of her books, and look what I'm working on now!
in Between All The Summer Things , my studio hummed along with a mix of client quilts...
(See more yummy client quilts at the bottom of this post!)
. . . and helping friends do their own thang!
a few charity quilts were completed, as well:
Add in visits from friends & family, camping, jaunts to the city, landscaping projects, and a couple of major family illnesses (ugh...so stressful when loved ones are suffering), and summer whooshed by.
Here's hoping autumn brings more sunny days and peaceful times to savour!
Try, Learn & Grow!

So many beautiful quilts! That feather one is out of this world!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Carole, the eye candy in this post is sending me into sugar shock!! So many gorgeous quilts. And how fun to see your friends trying their hand on the longarm :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great summer! So fun to have a surprise class by Freddy Morin! Red is certainly her color. The pebbles on that feather quilt are amazing. You definitely have to love making them in order to complete that quilt, lol! So many fun quilts and people to enjoy your days. Oh, yes - love your bull's eye quilt in progress.
ReplyDeleteYou don't post often but when you do it's EPIC! You had yourself quite the summer. Looks like much fun and when friends and family return to health, the hard part is forgotten!! LOVED Janet's bunny slippers as well. As cute as her smile. I have a feeling winter sin't going to slow you down much so I'll be patiant waiting for what's to come. Happy Fall...........
ReplyDeleteps. I was mortified by Rosalie Dace being refused entry. This madness must STOP!
ReplyDeleteSuch a delightful post to read with my morning coffee! Was Rosalie refused entry to the US? OMG!
ReplyDeleteYou were at Sisters???? ...I... was at Sisters!!!! I would have loved to meet up with you! I don't even know how many years I've been following your blog! I had such a wonderful, delightful time there and hope to visit again in a few years. We only went for the show and I'm hoping to participate in the classes next time. xoxo
