Good morning to you!!! It's amazing what can get accomplished at 6 am on a Monday morning! My boys were up early (therefore I am too!) I felt energized and ready to tackle the day....so I did! Laundry, vacuuming, cleaning a bathroom, lunches made, dinner made and still time for breakfast before getting the kids to the bus!!! WOW (I know....this has NEVER happened and probably won't again!) In all the fun and excitement I completely forgot to do my blog post!
Oh, thanks so much for the kind words for Mark yesterday. He was feeling "weird" (his words) that my stamping friends were wishing him luck with football! LOVE it! He had a great game (had a great tackle to stop the other team from scoring!) and they ended up winning the city championship! Way to go Rams!!! This means two more weeks of football for the Southwest Ontario Championships:) Gotta love football!!! Thanks again!
So I know, this isn't "new" but hey, it's a much better picture than what I had of my quilt! This is the quilt that I submitted for Artisan this past year! I LOVE it and was so happy to see it today in the Stampin' Success magazine.
The owls were actually made using My Digital Studio! I know, nuts, eh? I designed them in MDS then had them printed on iron on transfers (thanks Chris!) Then I added the details, like the hand quilting around them, the buttons for eyes and other Big Shot cut outs. On the Springtime vintage sections of the quilt, I traced the clear flower die (now retired) and hand quilted around this pattern! Will I make another one....no way! BUT it was fun to create and am tickled pink to have a great photo....thanks SU!
In the meantime, I thought I'd share some information with you about my online My Digital Studio class! I am hosting an ONLINE class (Canadians only....so sorry!) on Monday November 28. I will walk you through creating an adorable swatchbook calendar (that you'll have completed at the end of the class!) as well as some other treats and treasures! You get to take this class from the comfort of your own home! How great is that!?!?! You will have access to the videos and content for 30 days after the class so you can review and check back! I hope you're as excited as I am about this! This will be a fun new experience for all of us but I know in the end we'll all learn new and fun things! Email me for details if you're interested!
Have a wonderful Monday! I am!!!!
Take care,
Heather
Still love this - just wish you didn't have to give it away forever : )

The quilt is beautiful -- I loved it the first time I saw it.
Wish those of us in the US could participate in the MDS online class; hopefully you will have another soon that is open to us as well.

Beautiful Heather! That would have been hard to give away but it sure did make it worth while to earn the Artisan Award. Well Done.
