September Blocks

I am busy doing Christmas projects which I will post after Christmas and I have finished most of my September blocks. 

This door hanging I made is actually

called O Canada but I thought

autumn leaves would look really

nice on it too.

All the Blocks of this quilt can be found here.

The gal that has this blog is a little behind so

I decided to just continue on my own.

She has some nice ideas for blocks

and I want to complete this quilt

with her blocks.

In Color Order

This block of the month uses four colours 

in some of the blocks, but this one

only uses three plus the background.

Apple Avenue September 

and we have 4 apples.

Country Junk'tion

I like this one with the

sunflower and the crow.

Graduation is over

Now that graduation is over I can post some new pictures of some of the things I made for Lynda and of her graduation.  It was quite a week-end as she was in a car accident on the way to the airport and we almost missed the plane to Sudbury.

This is the pillow I made her from the fabric we bought in New York City.

I also gave her a wall hanging of O Canada.

There is always a bag to go along with the gift

This is sort of a convergence which is what Ricky Tims was

showing us at the seminar.

Lynda and I

Madame Aline Chretien, Chancellor, Laurentian University;  Lynda;  Mr. Dominic Giroux, President and Vice-Chancellor, Laurentian University.

It was a wonderful week-end even though it started off a little rough.

On Sunday we did a little sight-seeing and went to see the famous "Big Nickel".

The Big Nickel monument is Sudbury's famous nine-metre (30 ft.) high tribute to nickel and Sudbury's significance as a world mining centre.

Snow Chateau is finished and O Canada

I received this kit for Christmas

and was finally able

to start working on it in March.

I finished quilting it yesterday.

The Kit contained 2 centre panels because you had to

be careful how you cut the pieces.

Note how the picture flows from the right

and from the left.

The rocks also run horizontal and vertical. 

It was tricky cutting them

as

you had to cut them across the width

and

across the length of the fabric.

O CANADA

This pattern is one that was developed

by our local Quilt shop.

I have made it before and now this is a

gift.

I like to display mine on May 24th week-end which

we celebrate here in Canada as Victoria Day Week-end

in honour of Queen Victoria.

I also like to hang it on my door in July to

celebrate Canada Day which is July 1st.
