Winter in Ontario

Winter here is long, cold and restrictive. However, this week I have sewn a lot, dealt with office and online stuff, and generally actually begun to catch up a bit with my back log of wanna do's. The crazy quilt is not any further forward because the guild meeting was canceled, due to yet more snow, so why rush to get it put together!! right??
However, a canvas work piece is plodding along nicely, I've done some research on different interesting techniques and I'm downloading all kinds of useful stuff as we speak. Sundays seems to be download day and as I'm stuck with dial up, this takes AGES!!! I've also got some Surface Design Group swaps made and ready to be mailed. and read a book and listened to several books on tape while I sew.
Not a bad week altogether.

Hmmmmmmm!!

So much for the procrastinating idea. I actually got 5 crazy patch blocks made yesterday!! Now all I have to do is put the blocks together so the quilt top can be photographed on Feb 6th at the Limestone Quilters Guild meeting, the deadline for entry into the Quilts Kingston show.
Then the embellishment starts, to be completed for early May.
The weather here is atrocious, sleet, freezing rain, high winds, and snow! Just yummy - but great for staying home and stitching, which is what I shall do today

Yet another procrastination tool I fear!!

I have just created this blog so I can ramble on about "stuff" that I find interesting, and maybe meet some new e-friends, therefore Welcome to my first ever blog posting.

I am a dab hand at finding things to do rather than get on with my sewing/painting/fibre art. Sometimes I even sweep the kitchen floor!! So I have a feeling this new web tool might be used as yet another "gotta do" before getting back to the sewing machine or dye bath. However, having said this maybe it'll have the reverse effect, fingers crossed.
I'll let you know Shirley
