Remarkables Quilting Symposium

If you are into quilting, then you should check out this site.

I’m attending two classes at the symposium next year, but you can see on the site that there is still plenty of room in lots of really cool classes. I take my hat off to the organisers of this…I’m finding a retreat with one tutor hard enough.

Talking of quilting, my friend Leanne has shown me how to finish off the quilt I started earlier in the year, and I had a good go at getting the blocks sewn together yesterday while it was raining.

Alas today the sun is shining and the kids decided swimming was more important than sewing.

Maybe I’ll get more done tonight so I can post some photos tomorrow.

Did I say summer?

Yes that is new snow up there. But at least the rain has stopped. For a while.

And slowly the tourists are arriving……..

Although I have to say, I could do without the ones in the motels tonight. Sometimes I just have to grit my teeth and smile, then look up at the hills and remind myself why I live here.

This is on my mind…

Strawberries from our garden. YUM

of course I should be thinking about Christmas, and the big list of jobs I have to do, but I get such pleasure out of picking our own strawberries. We enjoy them sliced thin and spread over ice cream with a squeeze of lemon or lime juice. Home grown berries are so much sweeter than what you get at the supermarket.
