Loven' Lace
Wednesday was Lace Lovers Bra Class
We were given instructions on how to do a variety of different styles of lace embellished bras. The hardest part was to choose one and get started.
I chose to put lace in half of the upper cup as well as in the bridge of the bra. I also added the internal power bar ( power shield as I call it ) which gives a little extra support on the side of your bust.
I picked up a few extra kits sew that I can make a few more.
One of the kits is a nice bright red..... I thought I would support heart and stroke with my red bra, under my t-shirt of course, as I ride the big bike later this month to support them.
I am linking up with The Needle and Thread Network with Monika
a couple more from other makers
thanks for stopping by

Just a start on classes
Today I start class three that I had booked at the Saskatchewan Stitches Conference. Lace Lovers Bra class.
I have taken a Mary Ellen Hopkins Technique class with Dianne Jannson and a Square in a Square class with Jodi Barrows. Both were very good classes and with a bunch of great ladies.
Today's lace lovers bra class will finish up on Wednesday

I have one more class booked but have not decided if I will get to it.
My hubby is home recouping and I feel that I should be near just in case he needs any help. I have found it hard to keep focused on the classes but it is getting better. And hubby seams to be doing pretty good.
Well that's it for now.

EQ 7 Summer Draw Along
Well today is the day for the posts and link up for the Summer Draw along.EQ 7 Summer Draw Along
I have the first block done and made up.
I have worked on the 3 variations and will work them up soon. I missed the post at mid month that had the variations .... something to note for next month. It has been great practice in using EQ7.
I do have a tip for piecing the little outside half square units.
I cut mine at 2 1/2" instead of 2 3/8" and then trimmed them down to 2"units. There was not much trimmed off , and they were nice and square.
Having fun making the button for the side bar...... not. I'll keep working on it and maybe I will remember what I did the last time.
Bags are packed and still on the fence about the stitches conference this year...... just waiting for a phone call to see what I am to do.
Pop over to the EQ7 blog to see the other blocks created this month.

Watrous Art Show
Well this week here in town we had an Adjudicated Art show. I was asked if I would like to display a few of my quilted creations.After thinking about it for a few days I thought why not. I had to finish a couple smaller pieces to have the 5 required items to be adjudicated and with that done I sent in my submission.
I entered Jewels of the Night, Holding On, Star Fish all that I have posted in the past and then I finished Summer Jewel and Spring's Promise. Star fish and Summer Jewel are both Blue Printing Cyanotype and Springs' Promise is Sun Printing.
Sew with out further adieu here are a few pics of my entries.
Hope you like my little show

I have my Daisy a Day Tote pattern ready to send off to my two winners from the Shake your Pompoms Blog hop. LJ and Carla I hope to get them in the mail in the next couple of days.
I am also getting the last minute things done to have my quilts ready for the art show that starts on Thursday here in town. Labels and cording I think, is all that I need to do now.
I sure have been enjoying the nice weather and getting a few swims in at the spa ..... warm mineral water feels sew good on the knees.
I hope you are enjoying your day as well.
