A Recent Failure

I started this quilt before moving and finished it just after we bought our new house. It was a fitting ‘house warming’ present for our new home. One small problem… as good as I like to think my maths is, something went awry in converting this pattern from a small lap quilt to one that [...]

A Recent Success

My 52 weeks challenge is to write about a recent success. It was rather satisfying to discover that I actually had a couple of choices to write about on this topic. I opted for a recent professional success. It seems my manager has more faith in my abilities than I do as she has put [...]

Follow Up to a Lofty Goal

I’m so far behind on my 52 weeks posts since this is supposed to be Week 15. The challenge was to write a post as a follow up to a lofty goal. As most know I would love to print my own fabric and last weekend I had the opportunity to attend a two day [...]

Newsworthy

As part of 52 weeks we have to write about something in the news. This is not exactly in the news but do you ever have that feeling that the universe is trying to tell you something? I had a serendipitous moment a few weeks ago that really had me wondering whether I was being [...]

Can I Help You?

I have a confession… I’m a bit of a web nerd. This has been many years in the making but it’s something I love and 3 days a week I get paid to be one. So here’s what I’ve been noticing. Many talented blogging artisans struggle with the technology behind their blogs. This was a [...]

Studio Tour :: Favourite Equipment

This week’s challenge it to take you on a studio tour or introduce you to my favourite equipment. I so wish I could take you on a studio tour but the truth is the magic happens in a study I share with my darling husband. You’ve already seen my lovely workspace and on the other [...]

Change of Season and the End of Birthday Month

This is the flash of red at the bottom of my garden. These blossoms herald the end of summer and the start of autumn and coincide with shortening days and chilly mornings. Today marks the last day of summer and the end of birthday month. When the boys were little we would take our annual [...]

Dear Lynette, The Romance is Over

  Our challenge this week is to write about falling out of love with a technique, fabric or pattern. For me the answer is easy… Thimbleberries. I used to adore the country stylings of Lynette Jensen’s fabric and now I’m really not a fan at all. My first real foray into quilting was in Atlanta [...]

Getting Creative

My task this week is to talk about when I first fell in love with creating. For me it started with my mother and her love of sewing. She is such a beautiful seamstress and over the years has made everything from quilts, to dolls clothes to overly complicated Issey Miyake shirts (for me). She [...]

How Do You Store Your Fabric?

My fabric has been stuffed in a Cathcart Allied moving box since we came from Atlanta so this has been a quandary of  mine for quite a few months now.  I’m appealing to you for your help – how should I store my fabric? I am not only aiming this question at my fellow fabric [...]
