Hello Everyone!
Having worked hard getting things organized around here, Ken and I decided to take the Labour Day weekend off and head for our property in Nanoose Bay. I love going there, we have a luxury 5th wheel on our property so it really is a home away from home. Ken is an outdoor kind of guy so I sew and watch movies all day. Ken does all the cooking so it is super relaxing for me.
I also do a lot of reading. I have now finished the Steig Larrson series and hardly know what to do with myself.
I am working on a Twisted Nine Patch quilt. It is a large quilt made entirely of 4" squares, plain alternating with nine patches. At one of my retreats Marg and Krista were working on them and I loved it so I decided to make my own. It may end up being a wedding gift for my daughter. Shhhhh don't tell her. Look up Twisted Nine Patch on the net.
Some time ago I found an ad in the Country Register for a place called Cindy's Threadworks.
I showed it to Ken and asked if he would take me......................he said YES! Cindy is a Superior threads dealer and I love the King Tut line of quilting cottons. I had my mad money in hand as we set off to find Cindy, just past Little Qualicum falls. Her house was fairly easy to find and all I can say is WOW. This is Cindy with one of her Collies. Cindy herself is wonderful and friendly.
One of those people that after 5 minutes with her you feel like you have known her forever. She also has a few dogs which is always an indication of good people. We had a little tour of her beautiful property
This is just a bit of the front entrance area, it really is a beautiful place. And so quiet, from the back balcony, you can hear the falls.
So now we have entered into the Thread Zone.
There was so much to see and so much I wanted to buy. I looked down at my measly handful of spending money and my husband says, "give me the money", so I did and he handed me the credit card. LOL Much better. I bought a lot of King Tut threads in both large cones and regular spools. It took me forever to choose. There were also a lot of quilts and other projects to look at as well as some fun notions. You can visit Cindy on her website.
