Celebrating Another Birthday from caledonia quilter

Someone did math. Apparently I've been around for this number of days.

The Beach Girls came for Winterruption, which (ahem, cough cough) just happened to include my BIG 70. They took me to the Royal Botanical Gardens to see the Bloomland In OZ exhibit. Fabulous. Her tiara is bigger, but I think I wore mine with more enthusiasm! I mean really - she's looking quite sullen, dontcha think?

The creativity and imagination of the crew that puts these exhibits together is amazing.

Lots of great spots for photos.

Then it was on to Waterdown for high tea.

They stayed ...

A Day In The Life (or five weeks worth of days) from caledonia quilter

I'm reading Her Turn by Katherine Ashenburg. It's a good book, and I noticed that each chapter represents a week. Since I haven't posted in quite a while I thought I'd borrow that format.

Feb 6 - 12

I started the week by giving myself another covid haircut. I was due for a proper cut at the beginning of January, but it's not like anyone cares what I look like. 37 years married...if you get my drift. Most of the time DH is happy if he notices that my shoes are still in the closet ...

The Flag of India, First '22 Finish, & New Addition from caledonia quilter

This was such a fun piece to quilt! It's based on the flag of India and was the last "custom" quilt of 2021.

Much of the quilt is hexagons.

Some applique. Well, actually all of the hexies, the mountains, and the wheel are appliqued on to the background of sea & sky.

Lots of c/c quilting (Continuous Curve) and s.i.d. around all of the elements.

The strippy blues for the water are very effective.

I always love the back of quilts.

FIRST FINISH OF 2022

This one's mine. Started on New Year's Day and complete ...

Jungle Walk, Recipes from caledonia quilter

This is definitely the CUTEST quilt I've worked on in quite a while.

Jungle Walk by Harebrained Happenings

Here are a few of the blocks...

Today we are celebrating VALENTINES DAY. Still locked in with the stay-at-home orders, until Tuesday. Supper tonight will be leftover roast beef, but I'm making a Chocolate Olive Oil Cake for dessert. This is a new recipe for me. The Savour Ontario site (apparently I follow them on Instagram?) has never led me astray, so it will probably be very good. Assuming I don't forget any ingredients which I know happens to ...

Winterruption Recap from caledonia quilter

This year Winterruption took place from Feb. 13th to Feb. 18th. Since Feb. 13th is GALENTINES Day, I made us all tiaras. These girls are such a fun bunch, we wore them every night.
