There are so many other great vendors there. You have to see the boot 734 right next to us. I think they are “El Tambache Traveling Show”. A father son operation belonging to the Fair Trade Federation. I have been buying mittens and leg warmers whenever I see them. They even have coats that are all lined with super soft fleece too.

As we where leaving the second day, still inside the Metro Toronto Convention Center I had this view. CN Tower directly above me.

Always like to go to Toronto it is a stunning view when you drive in to the city it

Hope today will be a good day for you ladies working the show. Take a break, have a lunch you will need it for the take down after.

Suits Me Fine Quilt

Categories Creative Festival, Fabric, Fall Season, Information, Knitting Blog, Quilt, Winter Season4 Comments on Suits Me Fine Quilt

2014-10-19 12.46.56When Adrienne my co-worker was designing and piecing this “Suits Me Fine” quilt last year I know I had to make one for myself too. Shortly after she finished her quilt, the store put it together for a quilt kit I believe for last years Creative Festival Fall 2013 . Several of us bought one each and here I am …loving it. Especially with the minky  backing…sooo soft.

My winter can come now. But not so fast please. I enjoy this Fall Season too.

This is my third quilt (not including the rag-Quilts) I pieced together and quilted on my friends long-arm quilting machine. Really nice to have a girlfriend that lets me use her special long-arm machine and the best thing is she too is from Switzerland so we even can chat in our “Schwiitzerduetsch”

2014-10-19 12.44.54Adrianne, meine Arbeits Kollegin  etworf disen Quilt letztes Jahr. Als Sie diesen Quilt zusammen nähte, wusste ich dass auch ich diese Patchwork Decke nähen wollte. Kurz nachdem sie ihren Quilt fertig hatte, kam es auch schon dazu dass das Geschäft eine Quilt-Kit dafür zusammen stellte und wenn ich mich recht erinnere sogar für die Kreativ-Herbstmesse 2013.2014-10-19 12.45.47

Einige von uns (Kolleginnen ) gekauft je ein “Kit” und hier bin ich meine Decke ist sooo weich mit dem “Minky”. Stoff für den Hinterteil . Mein Winter kann jetzt kommen. Aber nicht so schnell bitte, ich genieße diese Herbst-Saison. 

2014-10-19 12.47.08Dies ist mein dritter Quilt (nicht einbezogen sind die Rag-Quilts)den ich selber genäht habe und gesteppt bei meine Freundins Langarm-Steppmaschine. Echt schön so eine Freundin zu haben die sogar auch noch von der Schweiz ist ,so können wir auch Schwiizerduetsch plaudere.
