It is too small for a couch quilt, or maybe even a lap quilt, but after nearly 800 pieces, I was ready to be done.

The pattern is a block called City Streets from issue 149 of Love Patchwork and Quilting magazine. I subscribe through my local library. (If you don’t have a library card, get one. It is good for all the traditional reasons, of course, but many libraries are part of the Libby network, an online library that I use extensively for audio books. You are already paying for it through your taxes. Well worth it, too ...

I hope you have your loved ones close and that they are happy and healthy. Sending out all the healing thoughts to those who need them.
The wonky diamonds in this stitch out design Lucky Stars are about 1 inch in length, but I can imagine them being at least 3 inches long too. It looks great on projects with themes like Christmas, universe, stars, plants, vegetation, nature, jewels, jewellery.
This meandering design uses arched lines to connect the sets of 3 wonky diamonds. These arched lines make it possible to fill those ...

Then the fun part could start with couching all kind of fancy yarns on circles on it.

This is another quilt that came from Susan Nixon prior to her death. I am trying to tie up loose ends and honor her.

The top is assembled. I had to create a few blocks to get a complete top. Should have the finish to share in a few weeks.
read moreI’m popping in today to share my latest finish—and I’m extra excited about this one. It’s the Prairie Pastures Runner from The Prairie Home Quilt Book by Lori Holt by the ever-so-lovely Lori Holt (published by It’s Sew Emma). If you haven’t flipped through this book yet, let me just say—it’s like stepping into a [...]

read moreThis quilt was finished in February. I have no idea why I didn’t report on it. I can’t even find pictures of the process.

The pieces parts came from multiple sources: some irregular improv pieces from a hand-me-down bag, jelly roll strips from a different hand me down bag, miscellaneous half-square triangles (possibly waste triangles), and some solids from my own stash.

You could make the entire quilt using a jelly roll and some background or low volume (for those HST) and some solids.

Finishes at 39″ square.

I love the second design … will be fun to see what else I can do with iron lace and rose block designs.
read moreIt’s been a slower season in the sewing room lately. Life has been full, and my stitching time feels like tiny pockets here and there rather than long, uninterrupted stretches. But even so, I’ve found that moving a few projects a little closer to the finish line—bit by bit—has brought a fresh spark of joy. [...]

read moreJust to get started right, this isn’t a completely original idea. I saw a picture (maybe on Pinterest) but couldn’t track it down again or find a pattern. It started the idea, though, and I would love to give credit where credit is due. So, if you know, please let me know…

That said, I started this quilt in January with the goal of using small scraps of solids and low volume prints.

In my version, the rails are 1-1/2″x3-1/2″ strips. The low volume squares are 3-1/2″. The hourglass blocks started as 4-1/2 ...
read moreI might be a fraud because this is the ONLY thing I've quilted in June. And I didn't make it. This is a top that was gifted to the Binbrook Guild by Paul Leger for our donation program.
It was quilted the first week of June and it's been sitting patiently waiting for someone (ahem) to get the binding on.
I might be a fraud because I went to Quilt Canada and bought absolutely NO fabric. Although I did buy a book. But you can't quilt with a book.
I might be a fraud because I ...

Do you take loads of photos of museum art? And then they sit forever in your computer?
They make wonderful palette cleansers -- fast projects, low on stress, high on learning, as you study the art, figure out what the artist was doing, and what makes the piece so compelling.
In a December blog post I showed a bejeweled tribute to a 1763 painting by Fragonard that I photographed in the Louvre five years ago. (Find that article here.)
Here's the next piece of art I tackled, from the same Louvre visit, and more than 100 years older. It's ...
read moreYour sewing room is more than just a corner with a machine — it’s a haven. A space filled with fabric, color, memories, and comfort. But sometimes, even with the best intentions, your sewing mojo just disappears. You walk in, glance at your sewing station, and suddenly, every project feels like too much. Whether it’s [...]

Für meinen Quilt "im Sog von" habe ich Saristreifen benützt. So sahen sie aus bevor ich sie gebügelt habe.
For my quilt "caught up in" I used sari stripes. They looked like this before I have them ironed.

Mit den übrig gebliebenen Streifen habe ich dieses klein Werk genäht. Wenn Du daran interessiert bist, sende ich es Dir für CHF 20.00 zu. Einfach ein Mail an mich.
read moreThe fabrics are native to Uganda. All but the tiniest scraps are in these pieces. The tablerunner was finished first. Back in February. But there were two more parts to go.

Now it is joined by a tree skirt (about 36″ diameter)


And a throw (55″ x 67″). The owner originally requested hand quilting, but there was no practical way to do that with the minky back. Hopefully she will like this look.




I hope the owner will like them, too. The purple binding is an unexpected, but perfect, touch, chosen by the owner.
