Thank you ALL!!! We are having a GIVEAWAY!!! It’s time to celebrate YOU! I began this little blog back in 2012, keeping a diary of my quilting journey, while searching to connect with the online quilting community. That lovely group of online supporters and encouragers that I have been blessed to come to know, are […]
Welcome to October! or should I say…. Octobrrrrrr! My sister and I enjoyed a walk in the neighbourhood with our dog Kaylee this weekend. Who doesn’t take their quilts for a stroll? It’s full on fall here now and there was a thick frost this morning. Time to cozy up with a cheery quilt! This […]
This cockatiel quilt makes me smile! These little faces and their crazy hairdos are so quirky. Choosing fabric combinations was also a blast! I chose to keep the backing bright! So much for trying to get indoor close up photos…. Cockatiels quilt finished at 58” x 58″ square. You can find this pattern here in my […]
Thank goodness my sister has been helping me to get these great full view quilt pics! Here are the Budgies! They were fun to pick fabrics for… I made a spare to put into my backing! Quilted using organic wavy lines from edge to edge on my domestic. Notice the boy birds have blue above […]
These Toucans were a lot of fun to choose fabrics for! I went to my scrap buckets to find suitable strips for the beaks.

My sister and I got together this week and took my recent finishes to the Shakespeare Gardens in Stratford for a photo shoot. Here the Meerkats are looking over the Avon River. For the backing I found something suitable […]
Can you feel it in the air? Feels like the dog days of summer are here. Had a wonderful weekend with family. And got right back to work on Monday, finishing up loose ends. Thankfully, none of my hounds were loose. These Handsome Hounds wall hangings were made using my test blocks. Each finished 17” […]
These little squirrels make me happy… Bounding around in a field of mushrooms. This design just popped into my head one day and I had to make it. In choosing fabrics for my mushroom tops, I realized once again, how few florals I have in my stash. A crazy catch all makes a great backing. […]
