Hello everybody! I thought it was time to log the completed projects from 2022. My goal was to finish some projects, and stop accumulating half finished quilt tops. Rainbow purse. The only Bag of the Month pattern I made in 2022, pleased at how it turned out despite the fact it’s not really the type […]

Starlight, Stardark quilt TGIFF
This quilt is notable for a couple of reasons First, it’s the first time I did such a variety of quilting on a full size quilt. Second, it’s the first quilt finish where I don’t have a recipient in mind. That’s right, I am now an official quilt stasher. These pictures were taken at […]
I sew a Rainbow
I’ve been really enjoying the quilting on this Starlight, Stardark quilt top. I treated it like a sampler quilt, quilting each block individually and with different motifs. I tried some new free motion quilting techniques, and practiced some feathers. I used a pattern to make this butterfly. I even did some straightline quilting–which I use […]
Blogger’s Quilt Festival – Rainbow Stash Quilt
Thanks again to Amy at Amy’s Creative Side for creating this opportunity for bloggers to share and showcase the work which we do, primary alone with only a bright screen for company. I was fortunate enough to win a prize in the spring instagram version of the BQF for my niece’s Refracted Quilt, but somehow […]
Rainbow stash quilt
This fabric was really appropriate for the spring 2016 Modern Quilt Guild fabric challenge, because I would never have purchased this on my own to create a design. The coordinating solids are from the Fat Quarter Shop (white for the front and binding), and silver cloud for the back. Which is not the cool silver […]
Soft Sunshine Mosaic
Because on a grey and rainy day in January, we need a little sunshine. And when you have rain and sunshine together, you are blessed with a rainbow. For this mosaic contest, hosted by Rachel at Stitched in Color, I picked soft prints from all my favourite designers to invoke a muted, scrappy, vintage quilt. […]

Rainbow Mini Swap Finish
Now that my partner has received her mini quilt, I will share with you my design process for this mini quilt. I’m not sure if the instagram quilting community is just exploding with swap activity, or that I am just more aware of it, but this was my second instagram swap and I have two […]
Half an assignment – Camera Challenge in Port Hope
When I was in school, I was the kid who finished my assignment 3 days early, who completed every step of my science experiment, and was devastated at every mark below 90%. The camera challenge, well, not so much. My first issue was getting the time, during the daytime, to set up and photograph my […]
