  • Clover Iron Travel Bag

    I just got a Clover Iron this past Christmas, so this Clover Iron Travel Bag will come in handy for me.

  • Singlet Style Shopping Bag

    Not exactly quilting, but it still uses fabric. I really like this shopping bag tutorial. Before I left Canada for six weeks in Argentina, where I am now, I was trying really hard not to get any plastic shopping bags. I was doing quite well, and will pick up the habit again when I return.…

  • Foundation Favorites

    From Quiltmaker, 24 free foundation pieced patterns. Each pattern given creates an 8-inch block, but you can re-size as needed. Excellent instructions, full-sized patterns, and samples if you decide to repeat one block. My favourite block is Hosannah, as it looks like tulips, which are one of my favourite flowers. What’s yours?

  • Crazy Anne Lap Quilt

    Here’s a fun lap quilt project from McCall’s Quick Quilts, Crazy Anne. I think if I stared at this long enough, I just might get dizzy. Would look stunning with a black background and bright coloured fabrics. It’s paper-pieced which I love for accuracy.

  • Speedy Log Cabin Tutorial

    Here’s a great tutorial on making a log cabin block quickly. I’ll have to try this technique one of these days.

  • Lunch Sack Gift Bags

    I think these Lunch Sack Gift Bags from the All People Quilt web site are adorable. They are very easy to make, as I made one in an hour or so just before the holidays. It’s still missing its button, however, oops. I didn’t care for the recommendation to use a sew in interface as…

  • New Patterns

    I just ordered three Lazy Girl Design patterns from The Cotton Vault. Free shipping of patterns… even to Canada. I can’t wait! Hopefully they won’t take long to get here from Virginia. I ordered, Wonder Wallet, Sassy Bag and the Runaround Bag. I want to make a bag/purse to keep close to me while travelling…

  • Free Tote Bag Pattern from Lazy Girl

    I’ve just finished packing up my sewing machine and putting it away, so this cute little tote bag will have to be added to my To Do list next year. Tote Bag Pattern | Smaller Version
