Patience Corners.......

That's the name of a quilt block, the instructions are here.

Back in October of 2009 I joined a block of the month club at a quilt store which has now closed.  I am in a sewing mood at the moment and decided to complete the last block of the month from that club.  I just never got around to doing the last block for some reason.

This block has turned out to be one of my favourite blocks I have ever done.  I had done two colours of blocks over the prior eleven months, so did both again on Wednesday.  I ran out of red material and remember having to plead with everyone at the club to see if they had any scraps at home and one lady came up with a tiny piece.  

Both photos have been turned around by photobucket, so sorry about that.  However I wanted to show you both blocks as although they are the same pattern they look so different, don't you think?

The black and white block I had made a start on quilting each block as I go.  I have of course forgotten how to do that now, so will have to hunt out the instructions on that, if I can find them!!!

The weather is just plain bloody miserable with the snow and the cold weather, so it's a good time to hibernate and sew if you ask me!!

Love this song reminds me of Dirty Dancing and Patrick!!!  Great way to start the day!!




By the way, every morning I sit down and think today is the day I am going to catch up with blogs,........then something happens.........hoping to catch up with everyone today!

Poor Old Molly, Swagbucks and other things...............

Now being a beagle she always has a depressed look on her face; however she has cause to feel down. She went and cut her pad on her paw behind her nail. Now it was her own fault, she was digging a hole down to China again, as she sniffed some Chinese mice and figured they were worth going after!!

So her paw was bleeding, and me being a regular Florence Nightingale I bandaged her paw.  Mind you it didn't stay on long, as it turned out I'm not much good at putting on bandages.  I called the vet's office to see what else I could do, as I said to her, it's not like I can put a bandaid/plaster on her paw.  They told me I could put some polysporin on her paw which I did and she seems to be on the mend.

Not sure if you noticed but on the bottom of the blog is a "Widget," for Swagbucks.  I joined up on November 23rd, and I have already cashed in enough Swagbucks for a $5 Amazon.ca e-card.  I have another 19 Swagbucks and should have enough Swagbucks by the end of December for another $5 e-card.  I am saving them up for something bigger.  Its super simple, and it explains on the site what to do.  If you do decide to sign up would you join up under my referral link please?  If you want to know more about it visit the Swagbucks site, or hopefully I'll be able to answer any questions you have.



I went to my block of the month club today, and got this month's quilt pattern. We are doing a Buckeye Beauty block this month.

No Christmas would be complete without a bit of Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers. Listen to the words, quite moving.

Cobwebs and Caviar......

that's the name of my local quilting store. Here is a link to the store, and a couple more in my area (check out the Shop Hop page).

I was there on Tuesday for my block of the month club and took some photos. It was busy so was hard to get quick photos taken with no one around. I will take more of the quilting fabric area later in the week when I go back in, but you name it they have it!!

(as always click on the photos for more detail)

I must say I could spend a small fortune in there. I am hoping someone may get me a gift card for the store for Christmas!! So this month's block is called Flyfoot can't wait to make it.
