Road 17N Quilt Shop

There is a new quilt shop in my town. 
It opened about a year ago at this location on Roblin Blvd east.

 This is Sherri, the owner who has also become my friend. Here she is working on a quilt for the Katie Cares Fashion Show on October 9th.

One of the colourful quilts on display.


Just a sampling of some of the fabric for sale here.

Love these Grunges. Used some of them in a quilt recently & it turned out great!

Lots of colourful aprons for sale & also you can join a class to learn to make one or purchase a pattern.

Brightly coloured baby prints.

Lots of patterns to chose from to make lots of projects.

Love the colours in this quilt!

When you are in Winkler, drop in at this quilt shop.  It's a feast for the eyes & inspiration for the soul. And if you're not a quilter, you can still enjoy the variety of colour & fabric & the many steps it takes to produce one of these beautiful creations.

Fall 2014


 I love the fall season. I love the cooler weather, the smells of the forest, the many colours of the changing leaves.
So many colours in the bark of this tree.

Brightly coloured mushroom. The top 3 photos taken at Stephenfield Park.

The next three taken at the Hoop & Holler Bend close to Portage.


I love fall. Too bad it's such a short season!

The Note


Hubby & I were in Winnipeg for the past 2 days for medical appointments - for Hubby, not me - & we stayed at a hotel close to Polo Park.  Hubby left for his appointment early & I went for breakfast later in the morning. I thoroughly enjoyed  the coffee & apple pancake as I read on my Ipad. This is the note the waiter left for me when he brought my bill. When I left, the restaurant, I thanked him so much for the note & he said - "I just felt you needed that." & he gave me a hug. I was just so blessed by this young man & what I learned from this is - Oh, that I would be be just so open & listen to the guiding of the Holy Spirit that I would be used as a vessel to bless whoever crosses my path. My prayer for this young man is for courage to share his faith as the Spirit leads him.
