More Baby Quilts

Posted on November 11, 2018June 11, 2020

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…

Fall Quilt Retreat

Posted on October 27, 2018October 22, 2020

I headed to a fall quilt retreat, last weekend, with one of the quilt guilds I belong to. Four days up north of the city in cottage country, with great ladies, my favourite hobby, lots of good food and snacks and wonderful scenery.  Just what I needed after a crazy few months of work and…

Quilting as a Couple

Posted on October 13, 2018June 11, 2020

A few weeks ago Marc and I took a course at a local quilt studio, Whirls n Swirls Quilting Studio run by the lovely Tracey, teaching us how to use their APQS long arm quilting machines.  Yes, I managed to convince my man to join me in learning to quilt on a a long arm. He has…

Gathered Star Quilt – Construction notes

Posted on April 4, 2017June 11, 2020

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. The star block is 32″, and I constructed this using…

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…

144 Patch Quilt

Posted on March 26, 2017June 11, 2020

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…

Friendship Star Quilt Top

Posted on January 28, 2017June 11, 2020

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…

En Provence – Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt

Posted on January 14, 2017June 11, 2020

I’m really enjoying working on the Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt En Provence. Its taught me new techniques and is helping improve my piecing skills. I’m putting it together in quarters and right now have two of the four quarters finished and the last two are well underway. No idea how I’m going to back this…

Star Quilt

Posted on June 2, 2016June 11, 2020

When I was in the States a few months back I visited this wonderful quilt store called Pink Castle Fabrics in Ann Arbour Michigan. It was so fun seeing fabrics that I don’t see at my local quilt store.  I fell in love with some Alison Glass Sun Print Mercury Fabric and couldn’t resist buying…

Incremental Progress

Posted on May 24, 2016June 11, 2020

Things are progressing, slowly and surely, on my Calico Rose quilt. Thanks  to Queen Victoria  we had a long weekend this past weekend. She may have died in 1901 but we still celebrate her birthday the best way possible with a day off of work.  With the extra day I was both able to relax…
