In my last post I introduced you to my latest pattern, Gather ‘Round, which was made with solid fabrics. I think this quilt pattern looks great in solids. It has a bit of that midwestern style to it. For something different, I decided to make a version in print fabric, too. This version is …
A Grit mini quilt. Grit: perseverance and resilience. Grit: Courage and resolve; strength of character. However you define it, I think we all agree that a bit of grit is a good thing. A lot of grit, even better. This topic comes up often in our home of late as we negotiate mathematics, French, musical …
Nothing like a finish on a Friday, right? I’ll admit I finished this a while ago, I just dragged the chain on taking some photographs. Luckily my resident tall person helped me out so that I can show you my lap-sized Diamonds in the Deep quilt (pattern can be purchased here). I am very drawn …
Here’s a small finish – a table runner from HSTs. Honestly, I’m not too sure about this one. I love the hand quilting details but I don’t think I’ve used the right colour for the binding. I was trying to avoid using orange and being too match-matchy, but now I think that Metro Living print …

To fit the pattern into the block sizing guidelines I needed 1 inch …
Guess what I finally finished? My super colourful cathedral windows quilt! These cathedral windows came away to the snow with us this year (where I finished it). They came away with us to the snow last year. This bloody thing came away with me to my sister’s house when she used to live in the …
About a year ago I bought a fat quarter set of Anna Maria Horner’s Innocent Crush. The Charmed palette became this quilt: The scraps from both palettes became this: But not before I scratched my head for a while about the Swept Away palette: Eventually an article on Design*Sponge caught my eye. Photos used with …
Sometimes I get so focussed on what I need to get finished that I forget to enjoy myself along the way. I made this little scrap fabric project to remind me to take a chill pill and be present. To me the journey is not just about achieving dreams or goals, but also about those …
A simple log cabin baby quilt. Here’s a recent finish for another baby born a few months ago now. The quilt was inspired by the colours in backing material, a gift from Diana.The squares were made from a variety of single colour prints in my stash, teamed with Robert Kaufman Essex Linen in Coral and …
A disappearing nine patch quilt. I’ve had this one finished for a few weeks but with the travelling and rainy weather it took me a while to get around to photographing it. (You can scroll down to the bottom to get the PDF download for this pattern.) This is an easy-peasy disappearing nine patch, nothing …
