Another Surtex Flyer
It’s getting closer. The days are being counted. My work will be there. I am trying to figure out if I will be there, myself. Another promotional flyer I designed. Hope you like it!
My Work at Surtex ’14
I’ve finally taken the leap and decided to pursue licensing my artwork on more than just fabric. While fabric is my passion, I have had many a daydream of how delightful a pattern I am creating would be on a roll of wrapping paper, a child’s cup or a sweet lamp shade. I have signed […]
Pattern or Solid?
The Montreal Modern Quilt Guild is making their banner. Members were asked to contribute a 6.5″ unfinished block of their choice using fabrics with the guild colours. This challenge has driven home the importance of knowing one’s techniques. A 6.5 inch block tends to put a focus on detail, measurement & technical ability and eliminates […]
Twice in One Week!
Just had to take a micro moment of your time to toot my own horn, ’cause this surely doesn’t happen often. While browsing the ever-influential Print & Pattern blog on Wednesday, I came across an image of one of my fabrics, Castle Blocks from Les Monsieurs, in a post about her “faves”. I thought “… […]
Helen’s Garden Parterre Quilt
Oh my goodness, this post has been a long time coming. I promise you, there is a story & a good reason for its delay, partially of my own doing, partially delivery company gremlins in the works. Long story short, this, my favourite quilt was lost, but now is found. Whew! And so many of […]
{ Happy Sewing } … Party Loot Bags
This is one of those super easy projects that I turn to every time one of my kidlets is having a birthday party. Emma turns 8 tomorrow and we threw a birthday breakfast celebration with a few special young friends on Sunday. We have always had birthday celebrations in the afternoon which has typically meant […]
Rainbow Charm Quilt
At our January Quilt Guild meeting we did a charm (5″ square of fabric) swap. We each had to bring a print and a solid of our chosen colour for as many people as were participating. Among 15 of us, this little rainbow bundle of fabric was what we each left with. I knew right […]
{ Happy Sewing } … Thread Catchers
One of the challenges given at our last Quilt Guild meeting was to make a thread catcher. What’s a thread catcher, you ask? (I asked the same thing). It’s a small bowl for holding all those gazillions of cut threads we accumulate on our table (or floor) while sewing. It took me a moment to […]
{ Happy Sewing } … Quiet Time & Les Monsieurs Pyjama Pants
A fresh pair of spring pyjama pants (I know, it’s only February, but a girl can dream) for my little monsters in cheery colours and patterns. I followed this tutorial. The only adjustment I would make, especially for a boy with no hips, is to use elastic in the waist instead of the cute drawstring […]
A Little Quilted Love
Sending love & thoughts of Spring (it’s right around the corner, dear friends … I know it is) to you all.
