Cockatiels
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 […]
Budgie Birds
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 […]
Toucans
These Toucans were a lot of fun to choose fabrics for! I went to my scrap buckets to find suitable strips for the beaks. But after the recent making of the Chickadees quilt, I realized my stash was completely floral free. I have since resolved that issue with an online shopping spree at Mad About […]
Parrots
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 […]
Meerkats
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 […]
Handsome Hounds
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” […]
Squirrels and Mushrooms
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. […]
My Little Chickadee
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 […]
Caravan Camping
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 […]
Whole Lotta Quilting Goin’ On
In my last post I had just added two dog quilts to the unquilted pile. And after that, the pile got deeper! But this past week, I got a whole lotta quilting done! Then on Sunday my sister and I got together for a visit and she helped me get photos. Again… This was her […]
