The Radiant Maple Wall Hanging
Today I have one final tutorial for you to round out the Canada 150 celebrations in conjunction with Janome Canada. As I’ve mentioned here before, in celebrating Canada’s big birthday this year, Janome Canada and I teamed up to offer sewists a series of fabulous products and projects. Here’s a quick recap… 1. I designed […]
Wise Words Quilt – Free Pattern
When I received yardage of Words of Wisdom, I was faced with the question of “What kind of quilt would you make if you were going to use the whole Words of Wisdom panel print”? Words of Wisdom Panel Print I chose to highlight each saying in the panel by framing it with coordinating prints […]
{ Happy Sewing } Embroidered Wallhanging
Here’s a tutorial for this sweet little wallhanging that you can fully personalize with embroidery. I love the quiet process of hand embroidery. I learned how as a child from my Mom and still enjoy it today, though I have narrowed down all those stitches I learned early on to a few favourites I use […]

My second fabric collection this year, Words of Wisdom has started shipping to stores! Words of Wisdom is a positive little collection centred around a panel print of words, phrases and quotes to inspire us, give us guidance and get us back on track. It offers all kinds of imaginative possibilities for thoughtful gift giving […]

The Oh Canada! Maple Leaf Quilt Pattern
I’m so excited to finally share this pattern with you! Earlier this year I designed and made this quilt based on the logo I created for Janome Canada for a limited edition sewing machine (available until the end of 2017 through your local Canadian Janome dealers) to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday. It is a 44″ […]
A Couple More Frolic Quilts
A couple weeks ago I shared the first 2 of 4 quilts I made with FROLIC for Quilt Market. Today it’s time for the other two. As FROLIC is a pretty young, playful, bold collection, I wanted to create a quilt that worked along the same lines. My mind went to children’s sorting games where […]
{ Happy Sewing } My First Attempt at Sewing Knits
A quick post to show you my first tiny tentative efforts at sewing with knit fabric (I used FROLIC Big Love in Candy). For all you uninitiated soles out there, it was surprisingly simple & painless & oh-so-rewarding! I made these teeny-tiny baby leggings using this tutorial, a baby headband using this one, and a […]
