Cats Cats Cats

Posted on: June 28th, 2023 by Lorna McMahon

This quilt is one of three recent finishes in a similar style. This Cats Cats Cats design is great for digging into your fabric scraps. One black cat is my feature cat and the binding was made to match. The backing has goldfish in a pond, but needed a little length added. Another print with […]

Catholes quilt finish

Posted on: June 28th, 2023 by Lorna McMahon

For those of you who aren’t offended by a cat’s butt… Thank you for understanding why I had to share this design. Cat’s don’t mean to offend anyone either. Happy cats like to hold their tails high. Like a mood gauge, you can tell a cat feels comfortable around you when they wave that tail […]

Farm Fun and some sun

Posted on: June 24th, 2023 by Lorna McMahon

On June 21st, my sister and I celebrated the first day of summer and National Indigenous Peoples Day by taking a quilt for a drive to Kettle Point, Ontario. Just across the lake from the USA. The shore was covered in shale. A very pleasant place for dipping your toes in the water. The weather […]

It’s Trash Day!

Posted on: May 1st, 2023 by Lorna McMahon

Today it really is trash day here on William Street. And it’s Monday. Oscar feels the same way about Monday’s every day. I had a narrow strip of the rubber duckies left over for widening the backing.  Quilted in my organic wavy lines! Added two small strips to my binding for interest.  My SCRAM quilt […]

Today I’m sharing my Ernie and Bert wall hanging. This quilt was hung in my backyard on the old bed headboard I found roadside. Ernie requested rubber duckies for the backing. Quilted in my organic wavy lines! I added triangle corner pockets for easy hanging. My Ernie & Bert quilt finished 23” x 23”  But […]

Fresh rhubarb? Hello SPRING!!! It has been cool, damp and cloudy, but I consider it officially spring when I can post a photo of quilts hung outside without snow as a backdrop. This quilt was hung in my backyard on the old bed headboard I found roadside. I mish-mashed a backing from scraps. My MOD […]

Cat House

Welcome SPRING!!! It has been cool, damp and cloudy, but I consider it officially spring when I can post a photo of quilts hung outside without snow as a backdrop. This quilt features a house full of cats. One is really enough… My pre-quilting model was crying from the wrong side of the doors. Fluffy […]
