It’s been awhile since I pulled out my completed Splendid Sampler blocks. I have no where near 100 made and probably won’t make anymore. Instead I’m looking at incorporating these blocks with others to make a quilt for my mother in law. She gifted me these fabrics and I had every intention of making her…
This quilt is for me! It hangs above the bench in our entryway and adds some summer cheer to the space. I almost named it my Tour de France quilt as I worked on it during the tour and did most of the quilting while watching it. And the yellow pineapples! I made it using…
It seems that success breeds success – or at least when it comes to public accountability, quilting and deadlines! Here is my rather long list for this next quarter. Since it is summer I should have more time to focus and quilt. After my vacation! 1. For Me! A mini pineapple wall quilt using the…
It’s finally Canada Day! And so far, it’s not raining 🙂 Before I head out to enjoy the celebrations offered in my small northern Ontario town, I wanted to share this special family quilt with you. This quilt was given as an 18th birthday gift to my mother – who actually turned 18 the year…
There’s nothing like a finish to encourage me to find the time to share here on my blog. I could show you piles of marked artwork and report card comments, but I don’t think it would be the same 🙂 School is almost out for summer and I have been sneaking in a few minutes…
May is flying by here! I’m happy to announce a winner from last week’s blog tour for Quiltmaker’s 100 blocks, volume 15. Congratulations to C. Knapp! She won a copy of the magazine and three of my downloadable patterns. The most fun part of the tour for me was reading about all of the festivals…
Welcome to my block stop on volume 15 of Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks magazine. It’s always fun to find out a block gets accepted into the magazine – it’s even more fun when you discover your block made it to the cover! I’ve been asking my newsletter subscribers and blog readers if they could guess which…
These projects are not necessarily on the back burner, but definitely the side burners! My last post focussed on my 3 focus projects for this quarter of the year. The following three – or four – are also taking their turns under the sewing machine needle. My Friends on Chelsea Lane blocks by Pat Sloan:…
Joining up to this finish along in hopes it will help me stay a bit more focused on finishing! As only finished projects, not just progress on UFOs or keeping up with Blocks of the Months count for this one, stay tuned for a second post about my ongoing block projects that I am trying…
I have been quilting – just not blogging! The March blocks are starting to get more challenging, but also include some favourites. The top left block made up of capital Ts is one I like, and I really like the looks of the one on the top right. I think I will make one of…
