Block 1, Muskoka Chairs (available at Thimbles&Things in Orillia) What more says “Muskoka” than a pair of Muskoka chairs watching a sunset? I know my American friends call them Adirondack chairs but I think we had them first 🙂 When Sue at Thimbles&Things saw the first design she knew she had to have that block […]
There was an edit of the pattern to change the format of the templates and while the template pages are correct the change was missed in the pattern body. Some copies of the pattern may have an incorrect instruction at Page 3, item #1. The templates included with the pattern are NOT reversed. Please follow […]
Just got another beautiful hooked rug version of one of my designs. Stunning! Carol Shewan teaches rug hooking and even got me doing it. She is a vendor at Fibrefest in Almonte September 13/14- selling rug hooking supplies and kits. I’m hoping to see the “live” version of this at the show!
I was thrilled to be asked to design the quilt for this year’s hop September 25-27. Thought you might like to see it and some of the background stories for my block choices….I will try to post them one a day, we’ll see if I can keep up. If you can’t join us on the […]
Way back last winter I was invited to do a design for a new line of Northcott fabric. Part of the Stonehenge collection, it was called “Earth Rhythms”. How could I resist? The fabric is finally being released in the next month or so and the patterns are now available with the new fabric shown […]
I am really looking forward to vending and teaching at The Creativ Festival in Toronto, October 24-26! (My first class is actually even before the show opens on Thursday evening, October 23). I will be demonstrating stained glass quilting techniques at the show but my two classes are actually both handwork! I get to go […]
Mark the weekend of September 13 and 14, 2014 on your calendars because you won’t want to miss the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum’s 19th annual Fibrefest. The two-day festival of textiles and fibre arts will close this year with a Lamb Race over the main falls in downtown Almonte! The show runs Saturday September 13 […]
I am speechless! MJ Doherty took Temagami Highlands and hooked it-it is absolutely gorgeous. Carol Shewan (a semi-local hooker based in Westport, Ontario) has been teaching stained glass rug hooking and has been offering my patterns to students. We thought they would work but WOW! I love it and can’t wait to […]
I have been asked by a few quilters for videos on techniques and while I am not quite tech savvy enough to produce video I will be making posts. I have also written up some information notes that might help get projects done and I will begin posting those as well. There is […]
What an awesome day yesterday in beautiful Prescott, ON. Spent the day at We R Quilts finishing up some stained glass quilts with a very fun, inspirational group of ladies! Also got to meet some Row by Row shop hoppers from across the border. I am always so excited to see what happens when people […]
