Monster Pillow

This is my most favorite project that I have done this year, I think.  I had met the designer from "Don't Look Now" in Minnesota at Quilt Market.  She had travelled all the way from Australia.  Her patterns are absolutely adorable!  I purchased several of her patterns which you will find on the patterns page under pillows, wallhangings and quilts.  This pillow pattern is a bonus pattern in the "Monsters Quilt" pattern.  I will have kits made up shortly for the pillow, if anyone is interested. 

Folded Rose Window

Another sample completed!  If you haven't tried any of Debbie Richards patterns you have to give it a go.  They are stunning and unique.  Everyone will be trying to figure out how you made it.  Patterns  are very easy to follow!  I made this Folded Rose Window using 2 fat quarters and 1 metre of black fabric.  (Pattern available on patterns page).

Ethan is 1 year old!

Ethan, my first grandchild just had his first birthday this month!  We celebrated with a "truck" cake carrying a load of m&ms.  He didn't really know what to make of all the excitement.

Winter Sampler Pillow

I have made the "Autumn" pillow and the "Summer" pillow by Crabapple Hill and now I have completed the "Winter" pillow.  This pattern is actually a sampler wallhanging but I wanted to continue on with my series of season pillows.  The kit contains the pattern, background fabric, 9 skeins of weeks embroidery thread and the bead and felt embellishments.

Here is a close up of the embroidery.  The kit sells for $32.00.

"Catch of the Day"

Here is the other tea cozy. It wouldn't let me publish both pictures at the same time.

Tea Anyone

I have just completed two more tea cozies from Bent Tree Hollow that I have made into kits; "Autumn Apple" ($29.00) and "Catch of the Day" ($35.00). I will put these up on the web site soon. Sharon, the designer has over 20 different tea cozies so I have only about 15 more samples to go!

Oops, missing block 5 of Le Jardin

I somehow missed putting the picture of Block 5 of Le Jardin on the blog. This is everyone's absolutely favorite block of the entire quilt. The little girl's dresses are so cute! I hope everyone if having fun with this Block of the Month? Anyone who still wants to join, just send me an e-mail. I believe I have 2 spots left.

I have alot of other new patterns and kits that I hope to have together soon. I just got back recently from the Quilt Market in Minnesota and I can't wait to make up samples of some of the new patterns I got! I also have some new fabric that's come in - Little Darlings (a black and white collection ) by Northcott; some Stonehenge from Northcott; Floragrahix IV from In the Beginning ( fabric with an Asian look in rust, orange and blue). Other fabric will be rolling in once it is released.

I hope to keep you updated a little more often. We'll see how that goes.
