As promised - here is the T-Shirt Quilt Christmas Gift from 2022! I did share this on my Facebook page but not on my blog, (whoops sorry!) so here it is. This quilt was inspired by my Guilty Pleasures t-shirt quilt that I made for myself, and the Star Wars t-shirt quilt, but this one is for my oldest.   His contains shows he/we loved, Comiccon shirts, Taekwondo memories, Robotics, music and more.   I quilted this in 40wt Glide thread in an all-over sort of waves and Supernatural Logo inspired wavy star that he just loved when he saw it.  I didn't take a picture of ..read more

 Happy New Year! I hope that you had a peaceful evening and I wish you a joyous new year full of more of what lights you up and brings you ease. I thought that I would start the year off by sharing my last finish of 2023.  This is a space themed T-Shirt quilt, for my youngest son, as a Christmas gift.  Last year I finished the one for my oldest for Christmas so this year was his turn. (I just realized that I never did share this quilt from last year so I'll do that in another post!!). We gathered these for a few years as only a couple of these shirts were his and in good enoug ..read more

Happy New Year's Eve! I hope that you've had an amazing Holiday season full of light and peace. And, I hope that you have a joyous and safe New Year's Eve.  We're going to be chill here.  No big plans and we might not make it to midnight. Our Christmas was really chill as well.  At the beginning of the month I had surgery for thyroid cancer and I've spent the last month recovering and healing.  Don't worry, we caught it early.  I got a referral to an excellent ENT from my doctor who found a small node.  After an ultrasound and a biopsy, it was discovere ..read more

  Hello my friend! Here in Ontario we had a huge dump of snow - huge, big cotton ball flakes that turned into baking snow kind of dump.  We were out at the cottage yesterday and drove back in the very start of the snow so it was nice to be tucked into our warm house to watch instead of being on the road.  In my gratitude journal that day I wrote - so grateful for our warm house amidst the snow.  Where ever you are - I wish you a cozy, warm day too. While at the cottage I remembered I had rag quilt squares all ready to go in a bin.  Well, imagine my surprise when I op ..read more

Christmas Quilts.   Are you like me?  Do you absolutely adore the combination or red and green with gold?  Or, not your cup of tea?  I don't know why but I've always adored Christmas prints and the colour combination.  That's probably why my collection of Christmas quilts is now coming in at over a dozen! Last year I offered an evening of yoga, sound, and my Christmas quilts, and, it was so popular and well received that we're doing it again this year.  I absolutely loved seeing everyone snuggling under my Christmas quilts - it was amazing to see my love of quilt ..read more

Ahh Preemie Quilts! I do love to make them.  Our local quilt guild collects preemie quilts for a NICU in Ottawa (that's where my son was after he was born) and I do try to make a bunch every year to donate.  During Covid I actually fell off when mask making took over, but, as Wednesday was our first meeting of the guild year, I gathered all of the ones up that I'd made over the past three years, and bundled them up to bring to the guild.  Check it out!  There are 20 ready to go. A bunch of them are mask remnants:  Star Wars, Bat Man, sports etc.  Some are 2 ..read more

Hello my friend! I'm motoring right along with my St. Patrick's Day T-Shirt quilt.  I took it off the frame a couple days ago and started to think about a binding.  Luckily I remembered that I way over-cut this Kona Parrot green fabric into 2 1/2" strips.  I don't bind at  2 1/2" - I prefer a 2 1/4" - but I really didn't relish the idea of cutting 1/4" off all the strips! Luckily I have the 2 1/4" strip die for my AccuQuilt cutter.  I just laid them out, stacked a few strips high, and ran it through. Perfect and so fast!  So little waste.  Someone ..read more

 Hello my friend! After we got home from the cottage I decided to get to work on my St Patrick's Day T-Shirt quilt.  I have some commission work to do and this one was already loaded onto the frame and ready to go.  I even picked Glide Celery thread for the top and bobbin. So I decided to finish it up first.  Besides - I actually pieced a backing for this one from some left-overs and large pieces and I didn't want to load it again.  I really don't like taking a quilt off the frame when it's ready to go.  I don't know about you, but it takes me a while to get it ..read more
