Let's Bee Social #230

Welcome to the Let's Bee Social! I know things have been kinda lacking around here since I made the move to my new home. Not much quilting going on here yet. And I am so grateful to those of you who write in to share your photos of the quilts you have made using my patterns.

This week I was planning on using a link to my Instagram post that I shared. The big news is that I have applied for and am now working a full time day job in nearby Stratford. And still running the Sew Fresh Quilts Etsy shop in the evenings. However, Instagram was down when I was preparing this post. And I was left kinda stunned. But also glad that I had not yet given up on blogging.

Meanwhile the other end of Facebook is still working...

Here is a post shared by Tammy Howell to the Sew Fresh Quilts Facebook page!






I'm sure everything will return to quilting normal for me when more of the everyday life things also become more normal. The new normal. Actually the new normal is suiting me just fine. Not only have I, at the age of 52 and having been out of the "work force" for 19 years, gotten a job... I have also lost 35 pounds since my new normal began on February 21st. Ya me!

And life known as the new normal is making me happier than ever....

Now... It's your turn for Show and Tell!!!

Let's Bee Social #229

Welcome to the Let's Bee Social! This week Irmgard Jacob sent me this photo of her sweet Giraffes in a Row quilt. Irmgard wrote to share her finish and said, " I finished my giraffe quilt, all hand quilted with a cozy flannel backing. You can use this photo if you wish. Best regards, Irmgard."

I just can't get enough of those sweet faces!

And the hand quilting makes this quilt look super soft and snuggly!

Now... It's your turn for Show and Tell!!!

Let's Bee Social #228

Welcome to the Let's Bee Social! This week Beverly Greve sent me this photo of her sweet Little Lamb Laying quilt top. Beverly had contacted me quite a while ago requesting a lamb pattern. and then I came up with a few different poses for the lamb. I made my quilt using the Little Lamb Leaping, which you can see here.

I'm off to prepare for my trunk show in Midland Ontario tonight. Wish me luck!

Hopefully you've had more time for stitching than I have!

Let's Bee Social #227

Welcome to the Let's Bee Social! This week Jennifer Allen contacted me via Facebook to send me these beautiful photos! And she wrote. "Hello Lorna! I have now completed two quilts using your adorable animal patterns! I would love to share the pictures with you! Thank you for your adorable and fun designs! They were perfect for my grand baby’s woodland themed nursery!"

I love how Jennifer added the raccoon blocks to the other forest friends. And then the bright and fun flying geese border? Brilliant!!!

Pam of Bear Patch Quilting Co. recently ordered some of my patterns for her shop in White Bear Lake, MN. She then shared this cute photo with me of the sample quilt made. I am going to suggest that you visit their blog to look at the slideshow of all their class offerings, including the giraffes!

What have I been busy with? Each week I struggle to come up with a Let's Bee Social post because I have not been doing nearly as much sewing as I used to. But this week I thought I would include some updates on my life in general as well. I had a Trunk Show in Fergus, Ontario last Wednesday night. And was a vendor for a quilt show in Mount Forest, Ontario on Friday and Saturday. 

What else is new? Folding and packaging patterns always...

What else is new? I broke my truck and had to buy a new one....




What else is new? I got the final borders pieced and sewed two of them on the Christmas Sweaters quilt. Also prepped the binding.

What else is new? I bought a real bed....

And will be sending the old single bed downstairs for storage or give it away....

What else is new? My new neighbours are all encouraging me as I work on getting rid of the flower garden along each side of my driveway. I still have more to go along this side of the house. I plan on moving some of the bigger plants to the other side of the house where the garden will be staying....

What else is new? Me and my Tula Pink purse are still hanging out together. No trips to Texas lately. But plenty of trips to the post office. Which is good! 

Hopefully you've had more time for stitching than I have! 

Now... It's your turn for Show and Tell!!!
