It has been two interesting weeks in my world. Last week had me spending time at the studio where I decided I needed to try working with pantos for the first time. In the week I was there I managed to finish 5 quilts on the frame. As soon as I finished 2 of them,Continue reading “Friday Finishes”
Friday Finish
This week I was reading blog posts and a squirrel got me. Not only was it a squirrel, it was a DrEAMI!

I just had to makeContinue reading “Friday Finish”

Robbie is Finally a Real Finish
I planned to make this quilt for a hop this spring but ran out of thread for the quilting. I had to wait for the thread to be delivered by mail. It did arrive and I got him done. I did a variety of quilting from stitch in the ditch, echo quilting, a simple stippleContinue reading “Robbie is Finally a Real Finish”
Garden Walk

In October Becca from Pretty Piney Quilts put out a call for pattern testers for her Star Crossed Plaid Pattern. Of course I volunteered and was accepted!

Leftovers Pattern Test
I was really pleased when Joanne Kerton who designs and blogs as The Canuck Quilter Designs emailed me to see if I could fit a pattern test in my schedule for her for the end of July. I was happy to do so. I used my Christmas panels that I had made from leftover stringsContinue reading “Leftovers Pattern Test”
Hidden Treasures
This pattern was designed to combine 2 of my favourite things; scraps and a funky, fun focal fabric. The occasion arose where our local Golf Course is in dire financial straights and in need of some fundraising. I (ahem) was volunteered to do a quilt, which over the course (see how I did that 🤪)Continue reading “Hidden Treasures”

May OMG Finish
So here it is: the first of my three quilts for the golf course fundraiser. It was too much fun to just walk out my front door and take a picture of the quilt on one of the Course picnic tables. I had no way to hang the quilt so I thought this would workContinue reading “May OMG Finish”
