Near the end of March, I attended a guild Zoom class with Dana Jones. Dana created this Peace Cranes over Hiroshima pattern after a visit to Hiroshima. She was very moved by the experience and set out to design a tribute to her trip. This paper pieced project is not what you would call a beginner project. The pattern kit she provided had all the tools you could possibly need. Charts, labels to label all the pieced that were cut. Finishing diagrams, etc.
I set out to create myself a fabric kit from my stash. My friend Wi ..read more

Granddaughter Aurora modelling a
Snowtracks Hat. It's really nice.
I haven't blogged for a long time. But that doesn't mean that I've not been busy. I have been sewing and quilting lots. I'm a cool weather knitter. In the last month or so, I've been really enjoying my evening knitting while watching TV. It's usually for about 2 hours. Just relaxing and small projects. Nothing too stressful. I'm loving some of the new things to make knitting easier. The 16" circulars are my particular love ..read more

A few notes I've made regarding the making of the isolation gowns. This short video shows you the prototype gown that Marj Deveau made using the adjusted pattern. Adjustments were made in order to use the colorful broadcloth. The hems and finishes are not done on this prototype.
Notice the two part sleeve.
Notice the encased elastic at the wrist. The sleeves are long enough for those with longer arms.
Only the front of the gown has a scooped neckline and will need to be finished before stitching to the back pieces.
Notice how ..read more

A viewers Choice for Abby was presented to me last evening at our quilt guilds closing banquet. (thanks Linda H. for the photo) I decided to make Abigail last fall. See, it all started last year when a friend, Kathy S. from Alberta, made a quilted cow and it was so different, that I knew I had to make one. But could I actually do it? I kept my project to myself knowing that if it came out good, I would use it for our Guild quilt show. And also I would need a project to do while away on our winter snowbird trip. I started planning my kit. I rummaged through my stash to find a whole bun ..read more
