Lots and lots

Lovely quilt and the tutorial in above the quilt.  Have a look , it appears interesting to me and fairly easy, just squares, rectangle and strips. No triangles to make and match.

 And here are two cute little mice to make for holding your pins.

  An easy little job to occupy your free time LOL.

Do you recognize me here LOL. I do love my naps , they are so refreshing.

These spool blocks were done by a friend and I think they will make a really lovely quilt.

Here are the dimensions of the block.From each scrap, cut:
  • Cut two 1-7/8" squares for half-square triangle units**
  • Cut three 1-1/2" squares
  • Arrange the pieces until you get the spool. I know you can do it LOL.
Here's and antique with all its decals in top condition. The owners believe it to be over 100 years old, it has been in the family forever it seems. It is mounted on a sewing table. Wouldn't you love to own this piece?
 
Not an exciting day in the lives of Ray and Nan . However we have decided to take a trip to places we have not been to very often. SO today we went to Langley ... and bought gas LOL. Gas here is $1.42 a litre and $1.37 a liter in Langley so we filled up.
We had lunch and drove around town. The town was very tiny in 1975. Ray and I used to go there to go around the old town to the antique shops . Now we can hardly find the old town any more.
We had once thought of buying a fish and chip shop that was for sale . Fortunately we decided  not to go there .  These shops were hard to manage at that time. I am sure at any time. And we had no experience in fish and chips stores other than eating the product. Not really a good business plan LOL.
We took a quick drive down the main street of Cloverdale and think we'll go there for lunch one day at the old fashioned restaurant which does all home cooking. Also they had a hobby shop that sells boats or at least had one in the shop window.  It looks like a fun afternoon.
 
 
 

Very pretty quilt, lovely to look at but I don't have instructions on how to make it. So think of it as a quilt candy.
 
Nice boy guarding the counter. I so love Labs, they are so protective and love their people.

And cats love quilts, this cat is a star LOL. What a colourful quilt, I really like it- all scrappy.
 
Well I am tired and ready for bed.
So good night folks.
Have a lovely evening.
