Anne with an E TV Series Baby Quilt Top

Posted on

We found out about an online auction two weeks ago. The auction was for a TV series called Anne with an E  based on the 1901 novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery called Anne of Green Gables. I read the book growing up and it’s many sequels grown up and absolutely loved it. So when I…

Idaho Square Dance Baby Quilt

Baby Sized Idaho Square Dance Quilt

Posted on

Posting about this, this morning, to motive myself to quilt this top today: It’s mostly sitting down and getting it done. It isn’t a big project. This top is made from 9 of Bonnie Hunter’s Idaho Square Dance blocks leftover from making this quilt (somehow I had made an extra row!?!?): A little bit of…

Random and my Zipper Quilt Top

Posted on

I wanted to sew something bright and cheerful and straight forward. So I found a bright fat quarter  from my stash that I am almost certain I picked up from the guild’s scrap box. Then I searched my scraps and stash for the colours in the print on that fat quarter. I found pretty good…

Stars in the Darkening Sky – Finished

Funky Churn Dash Quilt Finished

I’m happy, I finished binding my churn dash quilt yesterday! I love how funky it looks. That background fabric really makes it. I really wish I hadn’t run out of that material but at least I had just enough of it to make some sashing to avoid having to deal with points matching and seams…

I’m happy that my Starstruck quilt is finally finished! About time!   This one is going on the wall in my sewing room! I just love how the colours glow against the black background! There isn’t a lot of wall space in the room as I have shelves up so I’m hoping this will just…

Cinema at Seven is Quilted!

Posted on

Marc and I spent a few hours at our local long arm quilting studio yesterday morning quilting Cinema at Seven. This was started in March 2016 and has been a top since April of that year. I’ve had the backing for a few years but it just never had been quilted. I was intimidated by…

Doll Quilts

Posted on

A few years back I made a couple of doll quilts for friends who collect dolls. The doll quilts were made of poly cotton therefore if you are the quilt police and disapprove of anything but 100% cotton quilts I’m afraid this post will upset you. I don’t like to mix fibre types in a…
