Snap Happy II Bags

I just finished making 6 of these cute little bags from the Snap Happy II pattern for my daughter to give as gifts to her friends.  Some of them had travelled to Paris, France a few years ago with a school group.  I know that the Eiffel Towers are sideways but this way I could get 6 out of 1 yard of main fabric and 1 yard of contrasting fabric.  Using the metal measuring tapes for the "snap" opening is really cool!

"Winter Woolies" Flannel for Our Cold Winter Nights!

I love how this quilt turned out!  You never know when you use a combination of colours and patterns.

I used the pattern "Hopscotch" by the Quilt Patch (Canadian designer) and Maywood's Warm Winter Woolies flannel.  All you need is 12 fat 1/4's. ( I used a few more as I use yard fat 1/4's not metric fat 1/4's).  A narrow sashing, binding, backing and you are done! Kits are $62.00.(3.6m or 4yds of backing not included).  Size:  56" x 65". Kits ( including 15 fat 1/4's, binding and sashing) will be available soon.  Waiting for some more flannels to arrive.

Handbag Using Texture Magic

I got a chance to use a new product "Texture Magic" on a handbag.   It is really simple to use and adds a really neat texture to your project. I sandwiched some batting between my print fabric and a piece of Texture Magic(on which I had drawn my design).  I sewed along my design lines with the sewing machine.  I then thoroughly steamed my piece with the Texture Magic side up and watched my texture appear.   Check out http://www.superiorthreads.com/ for instructions and other ideas!

I used the pattern "A Heavenly Textured Handbag" by EazyPeazy.  Check out web site for "Texture Magic" and patterns using "Texture Magic."

I love the new Block of the Month "The Night Before Christmas" by Bunny Hill Designs.  We will be using the fabric shown - La Petite Ecole by French General.  There will be a start up registration fee of $20.00.

Blocks 1-9 will be $18.00 a month. Borders and binding - $25.00.

This will be starting the last week of January.  Please let me know by e-mail or phone if you would like to be signed up.  Limited amount availalbe.

Bedrunners using precut Fabrics

Tired of having the same old quilt on your bed. Now you
can change it up by putting different bed runners on.  The
book "Bed Runners using Precut Fabrics"  has 10 different
bed runners you can make in a weekend.
I  used a layer cake from Moda called "Garden Party" for
this bed runner.  I love the buttons as the centre of the
flowers.  Book is $10.00 which is a really good deal!



"Shadowbox" Quilt

I made this quilt earlier this year using "Floragraphix"
fabric by "In the Beginning".
It was a big hit at the Creativ festival in Toronto!

Kits (including pattern) are available for $79.00.

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.
