Inspired

 The ladies I work with have planned to get together next week and I thought I have nothing for Show and Tell. I have not sewn in a long time as I have been distracted with the running season. I even sat down to sew and watched a Triathlon on TV.

I have had 2 panels hanging around for a looooooooooooong time and this weekend I had planned to do something with them. 

I had used my twister ruler and used some leftover fabric from a Hungry Caterpillar Quilt I had made for a little boy and I finally finished this one.  I also had 5 meters of a very cute owl flannel that I thought would go perfect with this quilt. 

I recently discovered Dr. Seuss quotes which are so cute and I put one of them on the label of this quilt. I got out my fabric pen and it had gone dry, I quickly headed down to the Quilters Stash to get myself a new pen and carried on. 

I tried a quilting pattern which was new for me, I tried it on the border of this quilt and thought it worked out well. 

Now I have one for Show and Tell.

Long Lost Quilter and Blogger

I am still here, I have not quilted or wrote a quilt blog in a very long time. For the summer I am distracted by my other passion which is running. I had been training for the Miles with the Giant Half Marathon which was Sept 23rd here in Thunder Bay. I have a running blog which you can check out if you like it is:

Now that the running season has slowed (although I plan to run the Goofy Challenge in Disney in January) I will be getting back into quilting right shortly as the temperature is slowly dropping. 

I am so thankful to those that have come back to my blog over and over, I promise you will have new content soon. 

Thought these were cute

In the Meantime Panel

I had gone to Fabricland today to get some border fabric for my ticker tape quilt and they are having a 50% off sale tomorrow so I will postpone my purchase until tomorrow.
I had a real itch to do some sewing so I pulled out a panel  I had recently purchased in the States.
I am no good at cutting up the panel and then making my own pattern to make a quilt out of it.
I just added some borders to it using fabric I had that was allocated for a bag, I had made one bag already so a second one in the near future would be unlikely.

Here is my evening project...

The things you can come up with, with the fabric you have already in your stash, that's what I like the most!

Baby Owen

I went to visit my friend Shannan who had a beautiful baby boy to give her a quilt that I had posted about awhile ago.

He is so cute, and constantly moving. 

Selvage Quilt

I gave my selvage quilt a new home, it was my friend Lynda's 50th birthday and I had made the quilt for her. We did our first Marathon together and this is why I put the running shoes around the outside.

Can you relate
