Fun Beading Birthday Party

Birthday Party Beading Class

Eight sisters scheduled a gathering for an afternoon of beading fun to celebrate one sister’s birthday; and eight uniquely colored crystal and pearl bracelets were created.

Longarm quilting completed on the quilt my DD Marianne made for Slave Lake fire victims. Just needs binding to finish. I still have three more quilt tops to complete that I brought home that were made by the quilters at Western Retreat for Slave Lake fire victims.

Swarovski Crystal BraceletHere is a sample bracelet from my Sparkling Swarovski Crystal class recently completed in Padparadscha (orange-pink sapphire) crystal color.

Eighteen colors available, and making the choice is probably the most difficult part of the class!

Arrived home yesterday, loaded a quilt on my longarm and went to Gathering of the Guilds, where I won a huge doorprize basket of everything Quilty!

 

 

 

I came home from retreat with my beautiful quilt from the live auction, designed, pieced and bound by Pjam & quilted by Ali Spence, funds raised are in aid of supplies for quilts for fire evacuees of Slave Lake.
