Baby Quilt with a Super Soft Back
A sweet little girl has just been born into my husband’s family. The perfect occasion for a baby quilt, handmade with love, ready to keep this wee one all cuddled up. I was told her room is fuchsia, lavender and pink with butterflies and hearts, so I designed this accordingly. The heart is made of […]
{ 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 […]

My First Ever, Wee Little Quilt Market Booth
Yes, it was tiny! All of 5′ x 10′. Actually, that shot looks like a dollhouse. Here’s some perspective and proof I was actually there: Not only was it little, but I had to visually divide it to show the 2 separate collections and not have it all look like a jumbled visual mess. So, […]

So Quilt Market has come and gone and my 2 inaugural fabric lines have launched. With great delight, I can finally present to you, Flight Patterns. A collection that is all about the dream of the end of Winter. Colour, fresh air, light breezes and nature coming to life … all from a decidedly feminine […]
