Perky Poodles quilt

Posted on: June 8th, 2022 by Lorna McMahon

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. […]

Pigeons

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 […]

Busy Bears and Bees

Posted on: April 30th, 2022 by Lorna McMahon

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 […]

Bears, Foxes and Bunnies visit the flower Beds

Posted on: April 30th, 2022 by Lorna McMahon

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 […]

American Bald Eagle & Red Tailed Hawks

Posted on: April 18th, 2022 by Lorna McMahon

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 […]

Mr. Stork

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 […]

Duck Duck Goose

Posted on: April 5th, 2022 by Lorna McMahon

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 […]

PEACE

Posted on: March 31st, 2022 by Lorna McMahon

Peace! Let us all pray for peace. This new pattern is designed to inspire peace. Peace in our lives. Peace in our minds. Peace in our hearts. But mainly, to inspire PEACE in Ukraine. I made both styles of blocks – white background and white doves – and used the test blocks to make these […]

Spring has sprung here. And lately I have been getting all kinds of inspiration by simply LOOKING UP! This table runner was made using the new Duck Duck Goose pattern. This pattern comes with instructions for both a lap quilt, using full sized blocks, and this runner, using half sized blocks. Quilted horizontally, these guys […]
