For Christmas, I made two gifts for knitters. The first was for my aunt. She liked my sister’s knitting needles roll-up. A while ago she had mentioned that she would love if I could make one for her. I made one based on my tutorial with some modifications. I used a printed corduroy for the […]

I finished my Gear Pillow last week (see previous posts here and here). I’m glad I was able to finish quilting and assembling the pillow before our show and tell at the Montreal MQG meeting. For the quilting, I decided to use the H2O design by Leah Day. I love the scale that Brigitte from Zen […]

For Christmas, two of my sewed gifts were baskets. The first was a basket for holding coloring pencils. I love the size of Ayumi’s organizer basket. But, then I found out this tutorial. I though it was interesting to fold fabric and use grommets and ribbons to hold the shape of the basket. So, I adapted […]

This is the first project I worked on for Christmas. It actually started as a bag for me. But as I was making it, I thought this was something my mother would really like. So, I decided I would offer her for Christmas. I got the exterior fabric in a bag class I took I […]

My sister just came back from a 3 weeks trip to Japan. I’m sure you can all guess what was my special request to her. FABRIC! While she was in Tokyo, she went in the fabric district. She found a 5-storey store (Tomato), with 3 floors being only cotton prints. The first time she went, […]

For the block lottery, we had decided to make some Scrappy Trip Around the World blocks. Everyone who wanted to participate […]
