This quilt top has been made for some time but for some reason I’ve never written about it. It’s like I made it and forgot about it. It really is too lovely a quilt to forget about. Like everyone I get many ads for quilt patterns, fabric and supplies. Honestly, most I don’t even open… Read More »
This quilt has been sitting in the “to be finished” pile for a few years. Started at a quilt retreat a few years ago, this quilt has had its share of tribulations. First I had intended to make another quilt with these Alison Glass fabrics but I cut the grey background fabric incorrectly and had… Read More »
I’ve been working hard on binding my Regent Street Star Quilt and finished it very early Monday morning thanks to a bought of insomnia that I put to good use. I can’t seem to make the insomnia go away so I try to make it productive whenever I can. I love how this quilt shows… Read More »
Marc came home not long ago and told me that a friend of ours is in the family way once again. It’s a little too early to know if it’s a boy or a girl so I’m making sure I’m prepared. I’m undecided whether to keep this new quilt in the same theme as the… Read More »

The star block is 32″, and I constructed this using… Read More »
The Twisted Star quilt has been a work in progress for some time but finally it has been finished and gifted. Here is it bound and ready to gift. A couple we know from Marc’s history club were having their first baby and of course we needed to present them with a quilt for the… Read More »
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… Read More »
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… Read More »
