My newest batik charm squares seduced me into cutting them – just a wee bit – to play with this fun, quick way to make nine patch squares. The block is only 3 inches square when finished! Too cute, I couldn’t resist:) Link to Fun with Barb Nine Patch tutorial I did complete another Halloween…

Before I went away for the weekend, I posted a photo of this block in progress on my Facebook page. Two of my friends were motivated to start working on their Halloween 1904 quilts! With their motivation, I got this block finished. (It’s block #10 in my numbering system:)) Halloween 1904 is by Blackbird Designs,…

Happy Canada Day! Surprisingly I spent a lot of time quilting today:) I finally finished this pillow cover. I had a ‘pin’ in that “N” for a couple of years! I decided to get this done to make room for new projects. I’m not a red and white person, but I do like the trees,…

My eyes hurt this morning! Could be from all the sewing I did last night after dinner! Don’t look too closely, but I’m pretty proud of this paper pieced block. It’s the May Threads of Memory block. Thanks to Rachael, another quilter who is also doing these blocks, who sent me her paper piece pattern.…

I live on the shady side of the street (my daffodils didn’t come out this year. again.) I decided to plant pansies to add some colour to my porch and garden. They’re bright and reliable – and growing! (Did you notice that I had to put those purple ones in the middle for some ‘pop’?…

This is where the quilt top started. It almost ended here too! I was really tempted to get out my white fabric and go for it. (I did pull out the white fabric in the end, but I don’t have a picture of what I did with it – yet!) I started to add in…
