I forgot to post this yesterday, what I bought at the Kaffe Fassett lecture on Tuesday. The lecture was very inspiring. It was great to see all that he has accomplished and how he got started. I’ve been trying to look at things we take for granted to find inspiration. I’m planning to use the [...]

My friend Lisa and I, along with her mom and her friend, are going to see a presentation by Kaffe Fassett tonight.

Last weekend, I finally got around to picking my fabric and pattern for the Doll Quilt Swap. I’ve been wanting to do a paper-pieced project for a while, so I could put to use the mini iron my folks bought me at Christmas and also to try out the paper made specifically for paper piecing. [...]

Living in the Nation’s capital for the past 6+ years, Canada Day has become my most favourite day of the year. It starts pretty early in the morning, and lasts well into the early hours of the next day, sometimes with a nap in the afternoon to keep me going. The city buzzes with energy [...]
