Some class pictures from Renfrew and Lindsay
It’s been a busy fall with classes in Renfrew, Prescott and Lindsay, not even counting the big Muskoka road trip or Creativ Festival in Toronto! I finally have a chance to catch up a bit and wanted to post some class pictures. It’s hard to remember to take them when we’re having so much fun […]
Hook Line and Sinker Block 8 Results
Very pretty! Hopefully everyone will be getting caught up before our last meeting, I look forward to taking pictures of everyone’s blocks.
Hook Line and Sinker Block 9 Notes
My top has sashing and borders and looks AMAZING! Yup, it’s done! It’s at the shop (Quilting Quarters) so stop in and see it. I will post pictures after I get through the Toronto show. I also hope to get some colouring done on Gingerbread Square blocks for our last get together. It has been […]
Muskoka pattern now available on my web site
Look in the Project Bin under Stained Glass and you will find the newest addition to the pattern family. I’m finally getting organized after a marathon 2000km trip through Muskoka! Teaching, trunk shows, demos and hanging out at shops meeting lots of quilters was a lot of fun but created lots of work! I have […]
Putting Postcards from Muskoka together
Putting it together, borders (available at all shops) I wanted to keep the “postcard” feel of the quilt going, so decided to just frame the individual pictures with small squares.

Postcards from Muskoka Block 8 The Cottage
Block 8, Cottage (available at The Muskoka Quilting Company in Bracebridge) Well, let’s face it, Muskoka is known as “Cottage Country”. Even the rich and famous flock there for a bit of R&R (and hopefully a bit of anonymity, or at least quiet!). There are some pretty swanky places in and around the area, but […]
Postcards from Muskoka Block 6, Cedar Canoe
Block 6, Cedar Canoe (available at Country Concessions in Cookstown) There are many famous (and not so famous) paintings and pictures of canoes in the water. A beached canoe can tell so many stories about exploring our amazing lake and river systems. Home after a day out paddling, ready to head out exploring or just […]
Postcards From Muskoka Block 5, Pine and Block 7 Northern Lights
Block 5, Pine Tree and Block 7, Northern Lights (available at Simcoe Sew and Quilt in Barrie) Lonely majestic pines are as Canadian as…….I love the personalities they have and can only imagine the stories they could tell about their long vigils in some pretty inhospitable places. I think I have a favourite tree at […]
