Lost & Found ~ Thanks to Bonnie

Yep ~ Bonnie Hunter!!

I've been following Bonnie on her quilt-cam ( or whatever we call it) and was deep into ironing all my scraps which are heading into the scrap-saver system that Bonnie created. When I grew tired of cutting up the scraps, I went looking for some older squares I knew I had. Lo and behold, under the pile of squares....I find the lost ! Heck, I can't even remember what the pattern was called ~ never mind ~ they have been uncovered. My eyes roll when I think of the mess I made in my sewing room trying to find them. I unearthed everything and they still hid from me ;-(

When my young niece & nephew are here, I always let them play with the older squares as I'm not fussy about what happens to them and they have loads of fun laying out their quilt ideas. Why my other hexagon stars (lets call them that!) were underneath them in a storage bin that I wasn't going to check......I have no idea....blank brain!!

 Ya....I"m going camping - all by my stinking SELF!!!!! But first, some repairs on my old tent as I'm not hauling our large family tent with me. Recycle - reuse!! The bottom zippers were toast, so I replaced them with the zippers from our mosquito curtains from the old deck canopy that was also toast!

 Ya....what a mess!!! LOL I don't care ~ I'm going camping by my stinking SELF!!! I hand basted the newer zippers in and thought - just whip it thru the sewing machine - what a mess!!! But, it's done and hopefully will keep the bears out!! LOL
The tent must be at least 27 yrs old and sooooo out of fashion!! Who cares...right?

And when I'm back at my camp site, I'll be working on these. A great little project for camping and again, I've been using those men's shirts with a few ladies throw in!!!

 I"m heading back to where I lived over 12 years ago. Visiting with old girlfriends & co-workers and just relaxing as I drive along the Trans-Canada hwy in northern Ontario. I've missed the pines, the lakes, the farms.....the peacefulness of country living. I may take a few pieces of the Lady of Lake quilt with me - just because!! ;-)

Enjoy life everyone!!! ~ Lori~
