Life is so quiet without the kids home. I really din’t realize how much they take up my time until they are both gone. Anyways I feel like I’m sewing in the dark the lamp above my sewing machine called it quilts yesterday.. Trying to figure out if there’s a way i can fix it myself or if i’m gonna have to get a new one.. If that’s the case then i’ll get one of the LED shop lights like the ones i have over my longarm.. i love how bright they are and the price is right. Hubby came home during the making of this block.. he looked at my light.. turns out the 3 bulbs that I tried to replace were all burned out.. I can say this… I can be such a blonde some days. lol

I live by Mayerthorpe, Alberta Canada.A mother of 3. In my spare time I have 2 loves: Quilting and my horses these work well with the seasons. I started quilting when my oldest daughter was born 25+ years ago. I was making western shirts, when I quilt making those I had lots of bright cotton so I started making quilts. Over the last 17 years I have really gotten into it. I started taking an applique and a free motion class at my LQS. I'm now at the point where I no longer purchase Patterns. I've actually started designing my own. In 2015 I invested in EQ7 Quilt design program. In 2013 I purchased a HQ Sixteen on a 12 foot frame.
