Work in progress - You've Got Mail

A failed project - recycled.

Summary:  took a class - double wedding ring, selected these fabrics along with some others and when they were cut once sewn and then cut again and sewn. Talk about a dogs breakfast so to speak. 

I liked all the fabrics I selected but they looked terrible in this pattern.  It just was not working so I threw away the blocks I did, and saved all the blocks I had already cut up into 10 inch squares.

I recycled them into making this block called "you've got mail."

I found this pattern on the Internet and think it's a really fun block.  So you can see I've made quite a few blocks, and arranged them into the mail blocks I liked.

It's a work in progress, and I hope to get the top all pieced and together tomorrow.  I will keep you posted.

Quilt til you drop,

Debbie

I Won, I won - yes I'm doing the "happy dance"

My lucky lucky win... a fabulous door prize made and donated by Bonnie for the FVMQG Meeting....

Bonnie, here is your fab table runner on our dining room table. We used it as our centre piece for our Thanksgiving Dinner tonight and our guest's loved it.

I am still doing the "happy dance" on my win.  I feel so lucky.  You are a very talented lady and I will cherish this table runner forever!!!!

Here is the back of the table runner for everyone to check out her fantatic quilting. The back is a design and picture in itself. 

Sorry I just can't seem to get this picture the correct landscape way, so it's portrait, but you get the idea.  the quilting is amazing as I mentioned.

I hope you all like it too, and again  a big big "THANKS YOU" to BONNIE!

Debbie

PS: I'll be looking forward to crossing my fingers for the win, when she donates another door prize for sure.

What I did on my Summer Vacation.....Drumheller, Alberta - The "largest Dinosaur" in the World - Go see it!

"Welcome to Drumheller"...the whole town is crazy for anything Dinosaur...it's all about these prehistoric creatures including of course "T-REX, and other various status of them scattered around town wherein they are engaged in having some fun.... (my hubby in the picture).

flowers anyone...

...please take me for a ride in your side car

Dinosaur's, Dinosaur's, and more Dinosaur's...  Drumheller, Alberta is home to the world class Royal Terrell Museum - and as they say;

                        "The Royal Tyrrell Museum is a popular Canadian tourist attraction and a leading centre of palaeontological research noted for its collection of more than 130,000 fossils."  

Just a few pictures above, but you could take thousands, as it just keeps getting better and better as you travel though the museum displays.

There are lots of hotels motels etc, but if camping or RV'ing stay at the Hoodoos RV Resort & Campground  http://www.hoodooresort.com  the staff are friendly, the showers clean and tidy and good laundry facility as well.  It is located along the Red Deer River and the "hoodoo's" are just down the Highway.

You can not explain the Hoodoos better than what the Royal Tyrell Museum states; and it's another must see while in Drumheller.  Their site explains the Hoodoos;

HOODOOS

Recognized as one of Alberta's most popular and identifiable geological formations, hoodoos were formed by the effects of erosion caused by water, wind, and frost. 

Check this website to learn about Drumheller, and all there is to see and do there.  You'll be impressed as I was. This website gives you some insite into the great adventures available to see and experience.

To visit Wayne, you must cross over 11 one way bridges and don't forget to stop off at the "Last Chance Salon",  it is full of nestalga! 

Have fun planning your next vacation to Drumheller, Alberta.

I'm thrilled we went.
