New Old Projects from my Mom

While visiting my Mom, she offered me some of her projects to complete.  Although I was hesitant - heaven knows I have lots of my own - I took a couple.



It has been a long time since I have had a new apron.  This was a panel.  It went together quickly and I am very happy with how it looks.  I don't wear aprons so I'm not sure what I will do with it but it's done.

Quilting Music

I quilt with the radio on and in my world radio means CBC2 classical.  Well they have recently changed their line up and the classical music has shrunk to a slot between 9am and 2pm.  Although the rest of their programming is fine it is not the right speed for my quilting.  So I figured out how to rig my ipad up with speakers, and now I either listen to my own stuff on itunes or more lately youtube.

My current favourite You Tube channel is by Wendy Hardman.  It is a compilation of old hymns and her original piano compositions.  She even has sing a longs.  I'm allowed to sing in my sewing room :0)

And the photos that accompany them show up on the ipad beautifully.  I am considering getting her to send me her CDs but for now I just listen.  Here's a sample:
