Andrea_R: Texture! Swirls! Large pebbles! The mistake to the right I left out of the shot! The pattern that makes me think of exclamation points!
Andrea_R: Bumpity bump bump quilting all over.
Andrea_R: First block for the #quiltersplanner2018 quilt along. Of course I got inspired when I dug out some soft blue grey shades from the stash. #quiltersplannerquiltalong
Andrea_R: Obligatory snowpocalypse photo. Anyone seen my driveway? This is my view while quilting today.
Andrea_R: These poor triangles broke off from the flying geese formations and are lost in the chaos.
Andrea_R: Finally got this one prepped and on the frame and some outlines done and to the point I can show a bit. It’s a customer quilt but with such extensive custom work we’re calling it a collaboration.
Andrea_R: Oh sure it’s pretty but I’m not going out there...
Andrea_R: Emma and I were hard at work this morning setting up the Glide thread. 5000m spools of trilobal poly with a super sheen. Great for any machine quilting or embroidery. I love it!
Andrea_R: Big truck came to drop off a pallet of boxes. 😲 new product in stock soon.
Andrea_R: Finally wearing the shirt from @jan_dembowski 😆
Andrea_R: Simple and easy lap quilt with swirls all over. I used #glidethread from#habanddash in Celery and magna glide in the bobbin in white. #freehandquilting #swirls #quiltsofinstagram #ridgemachinequilting
Andrea_R: Working on a super sweet girly T-shirt memory quilt.
Andrea_R: Redoing the booth at @the northsidemarket and showcasing more fabric. This is just the first round, I need to buy some bins for more 1 metre cuts. Still doing quilt pickups and drop offs! I need signs and brochures for that. #quiltshopowner #canadianquilt
Andrea_R: I’m trying to write my weekly newsletter this morning but the sun broke through the early fog and is bathing the room in a golden glow. So distracting. Much like my dirty window.
Andrea_R: Today’s quilt. Am back at it. Go see the finish at @ridgemachinequilting
Andrea_R: 7:30am and I come downstairs, look out the shop door, and see this view.
Andrea_R: Doing inventory, if you’re wonder how hard I party on New Year’s Day. #smallbusinessowner #canadianfabricshop #partyhard
Andrea_R: It was hair day yesterday and this time Ron decided to join in. #bluehair #pinkhair #manicpanic #aftermidnight #colorjamz #hothotpink #crazyoldfarts #colorfulhair
Andrea_R: Best pics of the year. Seems about right. #bestnine2018 #topnine
Andrea_R: Ron and a little bonus Christmas present. 😉
Andrea_R: The light changed so I looked outside to see the glowing sunrise. Yes it is even reflected in the icy snowbanks. I took this from the upstairs hallway for a change.
Andrea_R: I hit the sales and picked up next years theme. I always wanted to do the lime/pink/turquoise scheme!
Andrea_R: When do the stores open?
Andrea_R: Working on our post punk alt rock folk fusion band album title.
Andrea_R: Morning has broken
Andrea_R: I just wanted to commemorate the fact that the counter is CLEAN.
Andrea_R: Sometimes you can tell we really love each other. #christmas #buddies #BFF #31christmasses #romantic #oldmarriedfarts #loveisnotdead
Andrea_R: When you live in the country but also near the headpond of a river with a marina. #countrylife #canada #newbrunswick #mactaquac #keswickridge
Andrea_R: Tree is up. Theme is white/green/cream/natural wood tones. There's pine cones and a feathered wreath I'm not sure about, plus burlap garland that looks a lot nicer than I figured. Toss in some crochet snowflakes and shiny green balls, plus my favourite Ca
Andrea_R: Found a way to take a semi custom design and make it work on a budget. Scale! #quiltinaweek
