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 […]
Wise Words Quilt – Free Pattern
When I received yardage of Words of Wisdom, I was faced with the question of “What kind of quilt would you make if you were going to use the whole Words of Wisdom panel print”? Words of Wisdom Panel Print I chose to highlight each saying in the panel by framing it with coordinating prints […]
{ Happy Sewing } Embroidered Wallhanging
Here’s a tutorial for this sweet little wallhanging that you can fully personalize with embroidery. I love the quiet process of hand embroidery. I learned how as a child from my Mom and still enjoy it today, though I have narrowed down all those stitches I learned early on to a few favourites I use […]
A Couple More Frolic Quilts
A couple weeks ago I shared the first 2 of 4 quilts I made with FROLIC for Quilt Market. Today it’s time for the other two. As FROLIC is a pretty young, playful, bold collection, I wanted to create a quilt that worked along the same lines. My mind went to children’s sorting games where […]
A Couple FROLIC Quilts From Quilt Market
I sat out Quilt Market this time around, but FROLIC was there in full force in the Michael Miller Fabrics booth. In preparation I made four quilts, two of which I am sharing with you today (and yes, you have access to the free instructions for both). The first is a baby quilt. Happy, young […]

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 […]
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 […]
Flight Formation Quilt
Quilt Number 2! When I first received yardage of BIRDS & THE BEES, the Bluejay colour story quickly inspired this quilt. While I almost always have ideas of what I would like to sew while I am designing fabric, it usually takes having the finished yardage in hand for me to really be able to […]
Flight Medallion Quilt
Something I’ve been meaning to share here are two quilts I recently made with Birds & the Bees fabric. Today, number one… FLIGHT MEDALLION Playing with the Ladybug colour story of BIRDS & THE BEES, I created a simple medallion quilt made of squares and half-square triangles that lets the birds of Feathered Flock take […]
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 […]
