A long over due update on the Row Robin I’m participating in this year. Photos of the Flowers and Houses rows I’ve made and received.

It started out as an experiment in piecing curves. I cut 6 9-inch squares of hand-dyed fabrics, stacked them on top of each other, then cut two slightly off-centre gentle curves.

I’m using The Caroler fabric by Mary Engelbreit to make a cute Christmas-themed table runner from Erin’s adorable mittens applique pattern.

Earlier in the summer, I shared with you the plan I had for a baby quilt I was making. I finished the quilt a while back and the baby now has it to cuddle under as the days get colder up here.

I’m making progress on my scrappy bed quilt. This is largest quilt I’ve ever attempted. I really hope it works out in the end.

After many, many moons, I’ve finally finished a quilt for ME! Happy Memories in loving memory of Pal, Slade and Daniel.

It was my birthday last week, and my family spoiled me big time with wonderful quilty (and not quilty but beautiful) things. Several additions to my quilting library and thread stash .. Aurifil of course!

This weekend, I’ve been working on a purse from me. I’m thrilled with how it turned out, even if I did have to rip it out three times until I figured out how to put it together. :)

My girlfriend had a baby boy in April and it’s time to make him a quilt. I haven’t used my sewing machine in a month, hope I haven’t forgotten how!

Reading, history and quilts … my perfect pastimes all rolled into one. I’m currently reading book one of Linda Hubalek’s Trail of Thread series, and enjoying it immensely.

My niece Lucy, who turned 5 at the end of February, is in junior kindergarten. This week’s letter is Q. Look what she drew…

This year, I’m participating in a kitchen towel appliqué swap. There are 12 participants, and we’ve each been assigned a different month. See the cute towels I’ve received so far and the classic black and white towels I’ve bought to appliqué for June.
