a PURSE for me

Posted on: June 27th, 2017 by Lorna McMahon

Hello! It’s me again! It has been a long time since I have done any selfish sewing. And I have only done selfish sewing once. It was way back in March of 2014 when I made myself this quilted jacket for my birthday – My Birthday Suit. Check it out if you are in the […]

Fox among the Birches

Posted on: June 23rd, 2017 by Lorna McMahon

Thank you so much for the lovely compliments on this new design – Fox among the Birches. While I was busy basting and getting this little quilt quilted, Fox among the Birches was being introduced on Wednesday at the Let’s Bee Social. PDF download patterns were a big seller that day and I am so […]

New Quilt Kits and FABRIC destash!

Posted on: June 16th, 2017 by Lorna McMahon

Well, I wasn’t expecting that! When I posted this week that I had added a Cow Quilt Kit to the shop, I was surprised to have it sell so fast! So I spent a couple of days digging through my stash and have added a couple more kits and also started a fabric destash.     […]

Irish Lullaby

Posted on: June 9th, 2017 by Lorna McMahon

    It was a few weeks ago that I shared this progress post for the Irish Lullaby. And I did have the top finished and backing ready before I started working on the Monkey Business I shared last week. But it took me a little more convincing before wanting to baste this quilt because […]

Monkey Business

Posted on: June 2nd, 2017 by Lorna McMahon

  These little monkeys are all lined up. They may appear to be behaving….. But I think there’s some Monkey Business going on! Sneaky Monkeys….     I am doing a good job of resisting making any fabric purchases this year. And I am digging deep into my stash to find some pieces I have […]

Ducks in a Row

Posted on: May 26th, 2017 by Lorna McMahon

  Have you got all your Ducks in a Row? After sharing my Love Birds quilt last week, I was inspired to design another simple baby quilt with just a single row of piecing. I shared my EQ7 drawings for the Ducks in a Row design, showing the many possible colourways I had come up […]

Love Birds

Posted on: May 19th, 2017 by Lorna McMahon

  Meet the Parrots! These love birds love hanging out together – some kissing – and some back to back.     I know that I have been using prints a lot more lately. I am trying to challenge myself to go out of my solids comfort zone. But for this one…. I could not resist […]

Sew Fresh Quilt Bee – April Link Up

Posted on: April 24th, 2017 by Lorna McMahon

I am thrilled to be able to share my second finished BEE block quilt with you!   Although I don’t usually don’t do improv, I enjoyed making the wonky slab blocks quilting along with all those who are participating in this worldwide goal of making 1000 quilts for the Ronald McDonald House Childrens’ Charity.   […]

Bumper2Bumper – a car quilt

Posted on: April 7th, 2017 by Lorna McMahon

  Is it just me? Or have you ever noticed how very few quilt patterns are geared toward boys?     I know my son always loved any toy with wheels – cars, tractors, trucks. My daughter also played with dinky cars, but for her the fun was in lining them up and practicing counting, […]
