But let’s go against the club and double down on DIAMONDS for this challenge.There are lots of ways to get there: you might choose to combine triangles, split a rectangle, or even work your best inset seams.I don’tContinueContinue reading “PQ 13.4 Mining For Diamonds”

PQ 13.3 Kitchen Influence
This was a really fun challenge for me. I don’t make potholders and have bowl cozies so what could I make? It was a fairly easy choice because I had picked up a few towels last year and found them when I was looking for something else. I had an idea of what I wantedContinueContinue reading “PQ 13.3 Kitchen Influence”

The Final Day on the Polar Bear Plunge Blog Hop – My Turn!
First of all I’d like to thank Joan from Moosestash Quilting for hosting this month’s hop with such a fun theme. I’m not sure which is my favourite for winter quilts; polar bears, penguins or snowmen! It was easy for me to know what I wanted to share on the hop, because I had madeContinueContinue reading “The Final Day on the Polar Bear Plunge Blog Hop – My Turn!”

Winter Blues for the Fabric Scrap Blog Hop
Now you all know that there is nothing better than a baggie of fun scraps or leftover bits to inspire a combination of fabric fun and mad jigsaw puzzle skills. Since the pandemic began and fabric stores closed, I decided that playing with my scraps was going to be a priority as well as workingContinueContinue reading “Winter Blues for the Fabric Scrap Blog Hop”
PQ 13.2 In Silhouette
This week’s challenge for the Project Quilting Challenge was to do a silhouette in some way. Last week I had done a pattern test for Sandra Healy Designs of a fun little Cardinal.

January Scrap Happy Day
I’ve always enjoyed playing with scraps, but have been making a concerted effort to use up my stash and my scraps since the Pandemic began. I have purchased some fabric in person when storefronts finally re-opened, but find shopping on line to be an imperfect solution when the stores are closed. These past two weeksContinueContinue reading “January Scrap Happy Day”
A Fun DrEAMi Project
I was sorting through some bins and drawers looking for my little stash of orphan blocks to find one for the SAHRR. That’s when Samantha started chattering away. I found this sweet stack of fun flannels prints and Samantha told me I just had to do something with it. Cutting, layering fabric and batting andContinueContinue reading “A Fun DrEAMi Project”

I Love Thursday #63
While most of us found 2021 to be a trying year there were some incredible highs and lows. Personally I experienced being on Wildfire Evacuation Alert which had me sewing almost non stop and taking a break to go outside to watch the helicopters picking up water from the river in front of our homeContinueContinue reading “I Love Thursday #63”
#2022 Planning Party and Favourite Finish
It’s time for Yvonne at Quilting Jetgirl’s annual link up to help with setting goals and plans for the new year. My goals for last year were twofold: 1. Learn to use my new toy once it was set up. This was my favourite finish of the year. It was gifted to a dear friendContinueContinue reading “#2022 Planning Party and Favourite Finish”
