This quilt managed to get finished on December 18, 2022, and I shared it on Instagram and Facebook, but I didn’t realize I forgot to post about it until now. So technically it’s my last finish for 2022! Thank YOU for sticking with me to celebrate the NEXT 10 years of Sew Fresh Quilts! This […]

I’ll be Home for Christmas

Posted on: November 10th, 2022 by Lorna McMahon

I have thought of making a block like this for some time now….. Cute little cars with Christmas trees being toted home… But when I shared about Passport to Quilting Holiday Edition… I was totally sucked over to the North Pole and went straight to the Elves’ Workshop. I began working on a couple of […]

Flying Geese table runner

Posted on: October 14th, 2022 by Lorna McMahon

These flying geese are in perfect unison. Again, as I did in making the Flying Geese quilt, I used some of my new floral fabrics from Mad About Patchwork. The backing and binding are an old plaid print. Along with a few interesting strips. Quilted in organic wavy lines from edge to edge. “Flying Geese” […]

These geese are flying north. The wind is blowing a crisp fall breeze. And the REAL Canadian Geese will soon be heading south. I used some of my new floral prints for the geese and for the flying geese around the borders. The background is a grey dot on white. and the backing is grey […]

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 […]

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 […]

Toucans

Posted on: September 20th, 2022 by Lorna McMahon

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 […]

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 […]
