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.

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.
