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 […]

As I mentioned last week, I have teamed up with Janome Canada to celebrate sewing & to offer a few awesome giveaways. For info on the free Fabric Bucket pattern, look here. And here’s the link for this week’s thread kit giveaway. Best of Luck & Happy Sewing!
Limited Time Free Pattern Offer & Thread Collection Giveaway
A couple months ago I introduced you to this quilt and its pattern. Well, exciting news… Janome Canada and I are back with a limited time free pattern offer and thread box giveaway! First the free pattern: Over the next 2 weeks, every purchase of the Oh Canada! Maple Leaf Quilt pattern will entitle you […]
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″ […]
{ Happy Sewing } … Fabric Trays
Coming up with original teachers’ gifts is far from easy. While some years I leave things too late and jump in with the class group gift certificate, I usually try my best to make something as a show of appreciation for all the hard work my kids’ teachers do on a daily basis. In years […]
Last Quilt-Along Post & { Giveaway }

Day 1 was about quilt layout and picking colours, Day 2 tackled piecing the quilt top and dealing with all those angles (there really aren’t that many) and today, Day 3 talks […]
Whatever the Weather Quilt for Janome Canada
A new quilt, a Quilt-Along and a free pattern all in one! The Whatever the Weather Quilt made its debut earlier this summer at Quilt Canada in Toronto in the Janome Canada booth. I created it to mark the launch of the Whatever the Weather Sewing Tote Collection that features this bicycle logo I designed […]
Whatever the Weather Sewing Luggage
As a Canadian designer it is a regular frustration that what I design is more readily available in the US and overseas than here in my own backyard. Finally I can say I had a hand in designing something specifically for the Canadian sewing market… a set of sewing luggage, manufactured by Blue Fig, available through Janome […]
Back to School Quilt for Janome
Earlier this sumer I was asked to contribute a project to the 2015 Janome Institute gathering. The theme was Fall. I could’t get my mind beyond the obvious coloured leaves and pumpkins, which I wasn’t terribly inspired by. I pondered what Fall brings and landed on “back to school”. As last year I had created […]
