Welcome to the Shakespeare Gardens. Thanks to my sweet sister, we got loads of pictures on our recent outing to Stratford, Ontario. These Parrots were fun to make! Choosing which fabrics to pair together… I adore their side eyes. Quilted edge to edge in organic wavy lines on my domestic machine. Got some close up […]
These little Meerkats are popping up to see what’s happening! Look!!! To the left! OVER THERE! 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 […]
I promise…. This is the fourth and final doll quilt. This cute little Husky puppy wanted to help! This time I started with these kitty and chicken scraps. And just kept adding until my desired size of 17.5” x 20.5” was reached Then I added 2″ border strips. Velvet wanted a turn, trying out the […]
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.

Monday was a holiday here. Labour Day. I have four quilts that are almost finished and just need the binding stitched to the fronts. And I have one quilt basted and ready for quilting. And yet here I was…. Caving to the irresistible urge to make a dolly quilt. I wanted to just have fun. […]
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. […]
This quilt forced me to recognize that there are no floral prints in my stash. I was able to find this large daisy style print and paired it with the red to make bright and cheerful Chickadees. I used a cream print with wispy dandelions for the background and the trees are a light turquoise […]
I didn’t get a chance to do any camping this summer. But I did get working on another camping pattern! After releasing my Truck and Camper pattern last summer, there were many requests for tow behind model Trailers. So I designed two trailer styles and a left and right facing car to tow them. The […]
