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. […]
Introducing Bears, Foxes and Bunnies in Bed! 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 […]
Special Delivery! Mr. Stork is busy bringing a bundle of JOY! This quick little quilt is perfect for a baby shower. And you can make it gender neutral, if you like! I picked pinks for my Mr. Storks, then found this last piece of floral, just big enough for the back. Quilted in organic wavy […]
I have been welcoming spring for weeks now, it seems. And today’s running around to do errands did not disappoint. As I was walked to my truck in the morning, a flock of Canadian Geese flew overhead. And as I was taking these photos, a few ducks took off, high into the sun. No matter […]
