All the Petals Quilt
I fell in love with fellow Michael Miller Fabrics designer, Patty Slinger’s Flower Shop collection at Quilt Market last fall. So much so, I knew I needed to get my hands on a pile of it to make some pretty summery-looking quilt. Patty’s colour pallet & choice of imagery are right up my alley and […]
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 […]

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 […]

Updated stockings that were “too plain, Mummy”. My kids love The […]

First, my maternal grandmother (that’s what we called her, Grandmother … she was quite a lady, born into a very “proper” New Brunswick family in 1905). Thinking of the things she lovingly sewed for her three granddaughters when we were little girls. I have the baby quilt […]
Embroidered Wings
I spent some peaceful summer hours outside stitching this past weekend. This season & I … we were truly meant for each other!
A 6-year old’s Sewing Project
I was out and about last Friday and wanted to get a little something to spark a weekend craft project for my Em. I happened upon, for the very first time, some simple, sweet little kits from Lamali. I love the fact that they are open-ended, they spark the imagination to go in whatever direction […]
