Wine Bags

Posted on

Both the guilds I’m associated with are having Quilt shows within the next year and I wanted to make something for their respective Quilt Boutiques to help the guilds raise money. I decided I’d make wine bags – who doesn’t love a bottle of wine as a gift? I used this tutorial from Craftsy to make the…

Graduation Quilt

This quilt, from Bonnie Hunter’s blog, is called Scrappy Trips Around the World. You can link to the pattern here. It was given to my step daughter as present to mark her graduation from a university honours program. It’s a super easy pattern and very fun to make. Many of my colourful and bright 2.5″ strips …

Ribbit Quilt

Posted on

Made with Happy blocks as per Mary Quilts this quilt was super easy and quick to do.  It used 16 4.5 inch squares for the centre blocks.  The only hard thing about it was deciding what border to put on. The pink won and the final quilt looked like this: I had just enough of…

Gathered Star Quilt – Construction notes

Posted on

I’m in the process of making the Gathered Star Quilt. I’m really happy how it is turning out. This quilt is based on a block by Judith Martin called Star Cluster Quilt Block Mine looks like that block, however the block size and construction are different.

144 Patch Quilt

Posted on

What does one do with an excess of 2″ black and various colour pieces of fabric? If you are me, you end up making a 144 patch 18″ quilt block with no plan in mind for said block. I showed a picture to my friend Bonnie and she suggested I use some green with the…

Big Quilt Bee

I heard about Canada’s Big Quilt Bee late last year. The goal is to make 1000 quilts for Ronald McDonald Houses  in 2017. As soon as I read about it I wanted to participate.  I decided I’d make a couple of quilt tops from slab blocks. Each block has to have a pieces of material…

Twin Quilts

These are two quilts for girl at work who just had two twin boys. I was wanting the quilts to be similar but not exactly the same. I’m happy with how the one fabric unites the two quilts.

Friendship Star Quilt Top

Posted on

This quilt flimsy has finally been finished. It’s taken awhile but it’s been totally worth it. I started off making a totally different quilt pattern but quickly realised that I had sewn my half square triangles together with the wrong fabrics paired up.  I had no more grey fabric so I couldn’t cut any more…
