Additions to my page

I've added some new pictures to my page. You can see some of the projects that I have been busy with. Probably the most exciting recent project is my book that has just been published by House of White Birches!!! Called Start With Scraps, it contains 23 fun and easy projects that will help use up the scraps you have been saving. To preview it, go to www.clotilde.com. The book can be ordered there, too. Perhaps it will show up in the Connecting Threads… Continue

Winter is Quickly Approaching

As we are looking forward to Thanksgiving next week, after the celebration of counting our blessings, Christmas will be on the horizon and then the days of winter. I write sometimes and after a man told me one day at church to say something that would make him like winter, I came home and thought long and hard about it and this is what I came up with. I hope it blesses your hearts, I know it will many of us over 50 ladies!! It is called "Wintertime"… Continue

It is Friday!

I deeply appreciate all the positive comments left for me to enjoy from my post yesterday on the tatted tablecloth of Mama’s. I appreciate your kind words but you really can see a vast difference in looking at the cloth itself in my stitching & hers. I even see places where I accidentally left out picots (those are little loops that form a type of circle for those of you that are not familiar with such work) I finally convinced myself that it was more important that I finished it to the bes… Continue

Last day to finish up all the creations!!!

Well, I was up by 2:30 am just because there is so much to accomplish today! Our game booth for the kids is coming together. We painted a fireplace scene with stockings hung and a fire burning. This will be our back drop for the "fish" for stocking stuffers game. We have a stocking on the end of a dowl and for $1 the kids can drop it behind the fireplace, pull it out and the stocking will be full of goodies! We baked our star shaped sugar cookies to stack into Christmas trees and will frost and… Continue

Quilt Challenge

The 2009 Quilt challenge from my local guild was: Children + Books + Quilts. The challenge: design and create a baby quilt based on depiction or description in a children book. The book I chose: Patchwork Island by Karla Kuskin, and illustrated by Petra Mathers, is a story-poem about a mother who stitches a quilt for her toddler that is decorated with images from her Canadian island home, in Prince Edward Island. I truly enjoyed creating this quilt since I am a Canadian living in Georgia… Continue

Happy Days

HI: I wanted to sit down and update for a minute. We've had a very sad loss in our family, but time marches on. But for the good news Baby CJ has come off his oxygen completely. He is holding up his head and staying awake more often, which is so fun. Baby CJ now weighs just over 8 lbs!!!! Remember not all to long ago he was only 4lbs? And our DH had her ultrasound yesterday and we are having a girl. She lives here with us and watching her grow has been so much fun. The new baby will be named Let… Continue

Casserole carrier

Here is a quilted casserole carrier made from a free pattern. I don't like that the inside flaps do not meet in the middle. It seems to me that heat will escape. (When you are as far away from town as what we are, it makes a difference.) I think a towel will still need to be laid in here to keep things warm. If I were to make it again, I'd change the pattern so those flaps overlap and use a velcro closure or modify the ties. I do like the little spoon pocket, though and it was a fun way to use u… Continue

I AM BACK!!!!!

Well I am back to the computer. Thanks for all the prayers that went up on our behalf. I had such a peace during the whole experience in Thunder Bay hospital. My DH is coming along. It is slow as his haemoglobin fell as he lost so much blood but he is getting stronger day by day. We are just so thankful for everyone who was praying for us. The Dr. did say it was a very difficult surgery. They transferred Brent home to Marathon hospital last evening and I drove home on my own - 3.5 hours approxim… Continue

The Sun is shinning today

After not having sun for a long time, it is nice to see the sun. It makes for a better mood and everything looks clear in my mind. I tell people that I belived in Santa Clause until I was 12. We went to my Dads parents house on Christmas Eve. There wer 7 brothers and sisters and everyone had children. Our family having the most at 4. Santa Clause would come and we would be excited as we would have 7 presents to open. Never missing anyone as we were so excited. When we got home after spending ti… Continue

Thanks for the birthday wishes!

The birthday wishes I received from some of the quilters here brought me back...made me realize that it has been many months since I was on QWU! I've been thinking back on those months..guess I've been busy with family and quilting projects. I have been developing new patterns--that always takes time. First working out the idea on paper, then making the project, then writing the instructions, then packaging the whole thing. But I really enjoy it! If you go to… Continue
