Last week was my niece’s birthday. She is now 2. It was fun to sew her some gifts. It changed from doing quilts which is what I sew the most lately. It was also fun to use some of the fabrics I got from Karen at My Fabric Spot, a Canadian-based online shop . She had […]
This summer I made an eye mask for Stitch (Interweave). I just got it back in the mail last week with a complementary copy of the issue in which it is featured (Spring 2013). This idea of an eye mask was a project suggested by my sister. When I saw that Stitch was looking for […]
I was able to complete my quilt for the Madrona Road Challenge today. I can say it was a great satisfaction to see it done. I did a lot of sketching to end up with this design. As I said in my previous post, I had the idea of a windmill. At first I started […]
Have you eared about the Madrona Road Challenge organized by the Modern Quilt Guild? Each participants received 7 Fat Eight from the Madrona Road collection by Violet Craft and I had to make a project with it, ideally a quilted one. The fabric was donated by Michael Miller, manufacturer of the collection. The only rules […]
One of my favorite part of making a quilt is definitely giving it to someone and making them happy. It’s probably one the reason why we don’t have a quilt for ourselves yet. The kids each have their own, but we don’t have any for our living room or our bed. One of the other […]
Happy New Year! Hope you had some nice Holidays. I’m just so happy we had a white Christmas this year in Montreal. It’s just so nice with all that snow outside. It had been a few years we didn’t have that much snow in the winter. I was missing it. It is perfect for playing […]
Do you remember this eyeglass case I made earlier this year? I made a second one this fall. This time, I decided to use a hidden magnet snap for the closure as I realized it wasn’t such a good idea to press on a snap while eyeglasses are in the case. As I was doing […]
Today is Giveaway Day over at Sew Mama Sew! In fact, it is an all week event. For the event, I have prepared a zippered case for you to bring notions, needles and threads for sewing on the go (notions not included!). For those who don’t know me, I love creating things with fabric, either […]
Have you seen the latest issue of Stitch Gifts (2012, Interweave)? The pattern for my Lily Pillow Covers is in it. This is the first pattern I’ve ever published. It was initially in Stitch Winter 2011 and available for download. Interweave has decided to republish it in this year’s Stitch Gift. The magazine is filled with great project ideas for […]
This week, I’ve completed the Bursting Star quilt I have been working on (see previous posts here and here). As planned, I added a second flange. This time in green. I used a Kona cotton in Lime actually. And for the binding, I used Kona in Coal just like the borders. I’m pretty happy with […]
