Added these two sets of dog quilts to the unquilted pile. But the patterns are tested and ready for sale! Dandy Danes blocks are 17” wide by 36” tall. Two blocks make a quilt 36″ square. My Hollyhocks are blooming!!! Then there are these alternate blocks with uncropped ears. Handsome Hounds blocks are 15″ square. […]
As I explained in yesterday’s post, I have not had any official finishes to share, because my unquilted pile is growing with all the new designs I have been testing. Here are the Meerkats! They’re popping up outta their holes and all looking ”thataway”! You know what else is growing? (Besides the never ending mountain […]
If you’ve known me long…… You know I have a longtime fondness for these little rodents. I adore squirrels. I feed them (and the birds) seeds over the winter, attracting them to my porch railing, just outside of my sewing room. This image of squirrels frollicing among the mushrooms, popped into my head one day, […]
Feathered friends have been on my mind this spring and summer…. My unquilted pile is getting deep! I habitually quilt my tops before starting something new, but it has been cuckoo around here with a flock of a lot of new bird patterns. Which I can only take as a sign…. To keep looking up!!! […]
These Perky Poodles went to the park! Once again, I was fortunate to have my sister along for some quilt photos. First we went to the park by the river, right in Mitchell. You can see this is the birthplace of Howie Morenz, “The Stratford Flash”. I recently bought this cute print with sleeping dogs. […]
The Pigeon quilt, on tour with my sister and I. The Hamilton Mausoleum in the Avondale Cemetery of Stratford, Ontario, Canada. Thank you to my sweet tweet of a sister for another photo shoot in the wild! This location wasn’t overly wild… It’s our brother’s backyard. Notice the black stripes in the binding to match […]
Happy to report that we took advantage of the beautiful weather and got ourselves outdoors on Friday. Picked up my sister bear and drove into our hometown of Stratford, Ontario. First stop, down by the Avon river. Oh, that’s right! We’re supposed to be taking photos of the quilt. Stratford’s river drive is rife with […]
Finished my Bears, Foxes and Bunnies in Beds! Then we took them to the Shakespearean Gardens of our historic hometown of Stratford, Ontario. My sister and I took another trip down memory lane. You can see in the background that we are still along the Avon river. This garden is at the other end of […]
Note the camouflage slippers? My last table runner finish featured Camo boots. Background fabric is by Ruby Star Society, which is lovely. Instead of piecing to make the top and bottom borders, I decided to leave the star and words from the selvages, as you can see above and below the eagle’s tail. Little touches. […]

These little guys in BED quilts finished 40″ x 45″ I was preparing a little spring cheer in a bag for my dear mother and couldn’t resist getting a few quick snaps of my sewing progress of late. She is finally settled in a nursing home and fortunately […]
