Festive Wreath Quilt
When I received yardage of Festive Forest just before the holidays, I knew right away I wanted to make a statement quilt with it, but I wasn’t sure just what. Something clean and bold. 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 […]
Quilting With Solids – Bloomin’ Quilt
Part 2 of my venture into the world of solids. We had a bout of grey days here a few weeks ago and I’m one of those people who feels the lack of natural light down to my core. Needing a pick-me-up, I decided to create a quilted garden in my sewing room. Like the […]
Quilting With Solids – Cobblestone Quilt
I love pattern! I know … big surprise. I thought however that it was about time I tried my hand at quilting with solids. Michael Miller’s line of Cotton Couture solids is so dreamy soft to work with and they just keep adding more & more colours to the range. They’re up to 150 now! […]
Valentine Quilts
Have you heard? Michael Miller Fabrics has a new valentine fabric collection, Sweetheart. I love a good heart fabric, so I was inspired to get creative when I saw the collection, along with a few other prints like their charming Cherry Dot.

Origami Oasis – Oasis Frolic Quilt by Jenn Topp
Jenn Topp is another Montreal-based quilter I have had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know through the Montreal Modern Quilt Guild. Her quilts that I have seen thus far are joyful, playful and colourful. She also has a little boy at home who shares his room with a 5ft tall giraffe, so I […]

One of the new fabric lines by Michael Miller that made its debut at Quilt Market this fall is Fiesta. I love the warm Southwestern vibe, captured so beautifully in these Michael Miller mood boards. The chocolate colour way really caught my eye and inspired me to create an easy lap quilt. Whether you look […]
Origami Oasis – Grassland Quilt
I created this quilt for my son who is a true colour lover. It suits his personality perfectly, as he is vivacious and fun-loving and loves imagining he is a wild animal (usually a lion), roaming the savannah that is our home, on a fairly regular basis. My intention was to show off some of […]
Origami Oasis – Starry Migration Quilt
When I was originally designing Origami Oasis, I imagined it full of luscious colour, as I do just about all my work. Part way through the process Kathy Miller of Michael Miller suggested adding a black and white grouping, as many of the prints were so graphic. I was initially a little hesitant, but once […]
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 […]
