Free Redwork Snowman from Charming Station
<http://www.charmingstation.com

Do you machine embroider? These little redwork snowmen are adorable and useful. I used one of them on a mug rug and it was really cute. I think I gave it to Margaret.
Have a look and click on the snowman to see what is there.

They are so cute.

I had a nice comment on Jaybird quilts from Patti USA. Thanks Patti for your comment I appreciate it and any others that come in .

Grocery shopping this morning, coffee at Tim Hortons which was full and we had to wait a bit. But the girls there take good care of me and found me a table quickly. They always bring my tray to the table as well.  Ray bought me a scratch ticket and I won $50 on it, I split it with Ray.  Since I have been lucky lately we decided to go to the casino this afternoon and I won about $600 . Ray was losing so I shared some of it with him. I had used up all my savings to pay for my embroidery machine. Not that I have to do that, I could take the money out of the bank but I like to pay for all or most of my sewing repairs and supplies out of money that I have save up.  So now I have replacement money for my savings envelope which is a fabric money belt that I used for travel once upon a time.

I plan to stay home on Sunday to  sew and embroider . We bought a lovely pork loin today and Ray is going to cook it, so we both have jobs to do. It will be a good day. And as it is raining now and probably will be raining tomorrow it will be a great day to stay home.
Saturday's apron, another beauty. I wish I could have managed to buy the pattern. But I probably wouldn't get it done anyway. I have several projects in mind that I want to do. That is if I can remember them LOL.
 
 
what an adorable Hallowe'en quilt. You have to go to the bottom of the pattern list from  RJR. The pattern has 7 pages to download which can be a nuisance but the shoes and stockings are all there for fusing.  It is a fun quilt. I think I'll download it amd make in later on in the year.
Have fun with it.
 
Download now as a pdf pattern
 
More boots, this time cowboy boots just in case you need one haha. Or two!
 
This is a pretty wreath, no pattern but if you can cut out a heart and a leaf you have it made. Oh and draw a heart for the background.
 
Adam called tonight and said he had heard there was an earthquake in B.C. Always the worry is that it would be here on the Lower Mainland. But it was off the Queen Charlottes in the ocean. They often occur out in the ocean. So good luck the earthquake pssed us by this time. I remember the last one was in Washington state and the epicentre was in the capital city of  Olympia. My friend Donna lives in Olympia so I was concerned for her but she said she was okay and not much damage.
 
Not much more to say for tonight.
Have a lovely evening well it is actually night so have a good night.
Bonne nuit.
