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.

American Bald Eagle & Red Tailed Hawks

Posted on: April 18th, 2022 by Lorna McMahon

Note the camouflage slippers? My last table runner finish featured Camo boots. Background fabric is by Ruby Star Society, which is lovely.

Peace! Let us all pray for peace. This new pattern is designed to inspire peace. Peace in our lives. Peace in our minds. Peace in our hearts. But mainly, to inspire PEACE in Ukraine. I made both styles of blocks – white background and white doves – and used the test blocks to make these […]

Remember back when I shared my finished Economy Fox Birches quilt? You can find it HERE. The pattern comes with many options and one of them is the Fox peeking out of the birch trees. I enjoyed piecing the tiny version of the Fox face and choosing fabrics for the birch trees. This time I […]
