I’m sure I’m not the only quilter who has a list in her head about the quilts she wants/needs to make for others. When we moved last year the ongoing joke was that my quilting room needed to be much bigger as it seemed to be the location for the majority of the boxes being…

Welcome! Today’s the day! Click on the image above to be taken to the long list of quilters to meet:) I’m so happy Benita reached out to include me in this year’s meet and greet. I’ve been blogging for ten years this year and know that blogging has been a big part of my development…

I’m trying to be optimistic about the end of summer, but it’s coming too quickly for my liking! The end of summer also means that my daughter is heading back to university. And my son starts grade 7 this year – talk about time going quickly! Anyway, what’s really happening here is that the 23rd…

Finally! I have thought about making myself a banner for my sewing space for a long time. And once I got the PFAFF quilt expression 720 to review, I set some big quilting goals for myself that I ended up not quite chasing as full time work and hesitation filled up a majority of my…

I guess this is more of a review post than I’d planned! Suddenly it’s the middle of August! The temperatures have cooled a bit this week so I am doing more writing than I have been. It’s our first summer in our new house with a pool! But I have been quilting too. Before school…

I have been doing a pretty good job of keeping up with this guild project; it’s the Monterey Medallion by Atkinson Designs. I made a decision to change to the twin size of this quilt. Realistically, I was falling behind on completing all of the floating stars and when my daughter was home over Christmas…

This quilt is an ongoing labour of love. I started it as a scrap vortex quilt several years ago and promised myself last year that I would work on it again. But for whatever reason, I didn’t. Believe it or not I started this quilt in 2016! Here’s a link to that post. This year…

This week I finally put together the blocks I won last March at my Quilt Guild. Green Irish Chain blocks! I used the webbing method of sewing the blocks together and had it done in under two hours. Here is the quilt top on our queen size bed and you can see that it probably…

It’s been a busy week! It was my week over at QUILTsocial to review PFAFF’s new quilt expression 720. This is my favourite of their machines that I’ve tried so far. I tried some of the built in decorative and creative stitches with a sewing font and created this tea cup coaster for my tea-loving…
