WIP's.


After a hectic two weeks we are getting back to normal again.  It was amazing to spend all this time with family that came a very long way to see us.  We made lots of memories and will always treasure them close to our hearts.
 Yesterday the chimney's got stitched. 
Doing just a little bit, at a time. This pattern is broken down into these minute details, making the stitching so much easier.
Niagara Falls, the power of nature,  in motion.
Last week thursday, a few quick gifts needed to be whipped up.  A table runner, kit from The Hobby Horse Quilt Shoppe. It took twenty minutes.
An advent calendar. This one brought back memories from when we were kids, growing up.
It was layered, pinned and just quilted. 
The back, the binding was from a quilting project a few years back.  The leftovers from older projects came in handy, to complete this one.
 Dish Towels.
The Aussies wanted to take back something truly Canadian.  It had to have a maple leaf on it, except trying to find these gems, proved elusive.  So these were done on thursday and friday, with special names added for friends back home.
 Diane worked on Jane Bannister, it will be done soon.
 A rainbow, in the afternoon. Every time we go, we still smile at the rainbows which appear.
 The lights change colour, which is amazing to watch. This was the view we fell asleep to...

  2. It is hard to find souvenirs that are actually made in Canada. So many are made elsewhere. Cheerful Chickadee made goods as the way to go.
    Last time we were in Niagara, we had dinner overlooking the falls. Touristy but fun!
