School started last week. It feels so weird to have some time alone in the house. Weird, but good! Time when I can totally focus on what I’m doing and be more productive. I had some small projects to make before school. My son needed two pencil cases. My younger one asked for one too. […]

Today, it is my turn along with Felicity of Felicity Quilts. You’ll find the post here. If you come from there, I welcome you in my space. If […]
Usually when I start a quilt, I plan most of it ahead. I even choose my binding fabric before I start cutting fabric for the top. For the quilt I’m currently working on, I didn’t and I’m really enjoying it. It all started with a charm square bundle. At one of our guild meeting, we […]
Some of you might now that I participated in this year’s Fabric 8 contest (see this post). The contest is hosted by Spoonflower and Robert Kaufman Fabrics. The theme for this year was Cosmic Voyage. You can currently vote for the final collection. Back in June, I wasn’t selected in the semi-finalists. Still, I had […]

However, I did manage to finish a few quick projects before school ended. I made two open wide zippered pouches (tutorial from Noodlehead) and a few lanyards (similar to […]
I have a tutorial featured on Sew Mama Sew! today. You can check it out here. It is a table runner I’ve made using different size of Half-Rectangle Triangles (HRTs). In the past year, I’ve seen different things that inspired me to use HRTs. Among them, this basket and these paintings. In the table runner I designed for […]
I’ve been doing a bit less of sewing lately, and a bit more of designing on the computer. After finishing my online class on Processing (I told you I would do this again), I saw the announcement of a design fabric contest on Spoonflower. Fabric 8 takes place once a year and his done conjointly […]
