Reversible Kid’s Apron Tutorial
This is one of those great little gift ideas for a child who loves helping in the kitchen as my two do. A simple apron that’s got a few somethings extra. Firstly, it’s reversible so you can play around with a few of your favourite co-ordinating fabrics. Second, it can have a bit of extra […]
{ Happy Sewing } Festive Tunic
I created this tunic for my daughter as soon as I received yardage of FESTIVE FOREST last December and feel it is a good example of how the collection lends itself not only to quilting and home decor projects, but also to clothing. It is sewn from the Audrey Dress pattern from Violette Field Threads […]
A Forest Quilt by Patty Sloniger
My fellow Michael Miller designer, Patty Sloniger designs beautiful fabric. She also designs beautiful quilts. She made a lovely tree forest quilt with Festive Forest that I love for its graphic nature. Her balance of colours throughout is just right and her free motion quilting is something for me to aspire to. Patty did a […]

I started hunting for inspiration and found this image in sorry-I-forget-which holiday home decor magazine. That’s it! A big wreath on a […]

Festive Forest
Things have been pretty sparse around this blog lately. My apologies, but I’ve been working away furiously for the past few months on a number of projects, none of which I’ve been able to share yet. Finally, however, there is a fun something that is finding its way out onto the market. It seems to […]

Happy New Year, just a mere almost two weeks late! I hope you all enjoyed festive and relaxing holidays. It seems like I have been quilting and quilting and quilting lately, and not much else (not necessarily a bad thing). I finished up the latest one on my list last week (more on that next […]
