Back on April 5th, Katie at Salt Marsh Path was offering to send people postage stamp pieces. I replied and she sent me this lovely bunch of stamp pieces for me to start my collection. There’s a lot of swapping going on because you need a LOT of them to make a whole quilt. This [...]
I didn’t have enough of the dark pink to do the narrow outside border but I found an even better fabricin my stash than the peachy/pink which is now going to become the back. This narrow border will also be the binding. The narrow border fabric is better because it’s a bit lighter than the [...]
She’s almost done and she’s a pretty one! It took some patience to get a decent shot of the flower block flimsy on the line today. The weather is coming up for a blow and a spit later. Next to decide what the narrow border colour should be. I don’t have enough of the deep [...]
Barbara at CatPatches is making a similar quilt. That’s where my inspiration came from. She doesn’t say how big her blocks are so I worked out my own sizes. I haven’t exactly decided that this will be the quilt for the baby but I was intrigued enough with this design to go ahead and make [...]
I find that seeing an idea on the screen really helps. I had another vision for my Ikea fabric. I think I like this one better than the last one. This idea is inspired by a quilt that Barbara at CatPatches is working on. I thing her blocks are 19″ or something. I’m not sure [...]
I have finished the pieces for the flimsy we are making for our local 2012 quilting class in Edwards taught by Victoria Vander Linden. As a side note about this teacher and my friend, Vic is a very accomplished quilter of over 30 years and a google search turned up very little information which shows, [...]

This is a clearing out post. My ringette business is going to be keeping me busy for a while so there won’t be any quilting news for about a month. In order to get ready for this I’ve spent the last couple of days finishing up some stuff that I’ll report on today. First, I [...]
I didn’t entirely like this flimsy when I was given it to quilt. My friend got a really good deal on it but it turned out to have a lot of tucks, it wasn’t square, and it was made of all kinds of fabrics, only some of which were all cotton. And to top it [...]
Another Friday! They must have cancelled a couple of days last week. It just went by too fast. Last week, I started on and this week I finished the client TATW and today I got a nice picture. The next step in this project is to take it to the client’s house, try it on [...]
