I’m a lumberjack and I’m ok…. This quilt makes me very very very happy. Those silly faces look so fabulous. The plaid shirts with pockets turned out so realistic! And those crazy toques!!! Quilted using a black/grey/white variegated thread on top and in the bobbin in organic wavy lines using my walking foot […]
I am not a “scrap quilter”…. But I am a quilter. So naturally, I don’t want to throw any scraps away! I have been saving and using my scraps along the way. But up until now, I have not done anything with my selvage strips. Except save them. I don’t cut a selvage from yardage. […]
Here comes Peter Cottontail… And his brood of little baby chicks!!! I made this festive table runner in anticipation of spring! And our upcoming Easter 2020!!! I used some Kona solids to flank this scrap of binding fabric. And quilted in a sunny variegated yellow thread, both on top and in the bobbin. […]
These google eyed guys are fun to make! My Yippies quilt is finally quilted and bound…. And will begin it’s journey across the pond come Monday. I used solids pieced from any “full width of” that I could find in my stash. I used 3″ squares folded into triangles for hanging tabs on the […]

This was a fast and fun finish! Say hello to my little froggy! I had the most fun choosing fabrics for this quilt. I love the way these dots all play off of each other. Another fresh dusting of snow made for the perfect backdrop. The backing was pieced […]
She Shoots!!! She Scores!!!! And the crowd goes wild! Yes, folks! That’s another finish for 2020!!! The photo shoot didn’t go too bad! A fresh dusting of snow is always welcomed as a backdrop. At times the wind actually cooperated nicely! By far, my most favourite parts of the […]
This was my view in the morning last Tuesday. Welcome to My Sewing Room! Here is my finished Kangaroo & Joey2 quilt hanging out. To the left is my grandmother’s china cupboard. Filled with old photos and treasured trinkets. One such treasure recently resurfaced. My Thumbelina dolly that has been with me for 50 […]
Kangaroo & Joey2 is my first finish for 2020!!! Have you ever seen a kangaroo in the show? Most of the fabrics used to make these adorable mama and baby kangaroos were from the Sun Print 2019 collection by Alison Glass for Andover Fabrics. And then when it came time for the backing…. I […]
