All I can say is WOW! I love what everyone is doing to make these blocks their own. Such a creative, enthusiastic group and I enjoy colouring with you! Dianne wanted a cabin in her block and Karen’s cottage is a friendly get-together spot so they had fun changing up the block… […]
What a fun block! Gorgeous too! I’m still going with a “local” theme for my place names so this time I used Calabogie Lake. Notes on Block 3: When tracing the word lettering take care to think ahead to stitch size for the tails on the letters. They look really nice when the tail […]
Gorgeous work! Connie had so much fun she went looking for more things to colour and Marilyn is busy making BOTH Hook Line and Sinker AND Gingerbread Square! Way to go ladies!!! We’re having fun with names! White Lake, Big Rideau, Oak and Wendigo Lakes (I’ve even heard of that one!) and good old “Wilbur’s” […]

Got another update from a very nice lady who made the birch tree in our class. She’s the one who put the field of sunflowers in the background. Great job Nancy and I do love those flowers!

Our crayon embroidery group has ladies working on one or both so I figured I had better get on board. I am doing this one a little backwards as a bit of an experiment-I will be receiving the […]
It’s a very blustery, snowy day out there so it’s a great time to get some work done and hide indoors! Some updates for the spring (I know it’s coming!) In addition to paper-based patterns, Annies is now carrying PDF Downloads of a selection of my patterns. Just signed up a new shop, Quilt Shop […]
It’s done! And it’s beautiful! I am really happy with how this one turned out and can’t wait to start Block 3. So here is the benefit of my experience with this gorgeous block: READ THE DIRECTIONS-once again I got carried away and dove right in. When will I ever learn? When tracing the design […]
I have now added a class/workshop page to the web site and have started a new blog section for the Block of the month classes I’m teaching at The Quilting Quarters. Still trying to make sure all the feeds are working right….sigh. Crayoning is so much more fun!
Thought I might use this spot to highlight a fun Block of the Month I am teaching at The Quilting Quarters. I will update it each month with tips and pictures-promise! We’re working on Crabapple Hill’s Hook Line and Sinker and Gingerbread Square. I am cheating on the Gingerbread Square quilt as a fellow quilter […]
