I am now representing Pam Damour the “Decorating Diva” in Canada and have been working on some fun things! I’ve developed a workshop where you make THREE wallets and learn great techniques for designing your own. The calendar is updated to April 2018 and there are already a few wallet classes on it 🙂
After a bit of delay, shops now have the new Northcott Naturescapes fabric in stock and I designed three patterns for it! The first depicts a walk in the woods near where I live and with the pieced borders measures 34″WideX28″High. It’s called “Hidden Path”. The second shows an old favourite haunt right near both […]
My fabric has arrived and I will be cutting Algonquin kits this weekend! If you want to order a kit I will start shipping next week. Full size (no enlarging required) Algonquin patterns are also now available. This is the design featured on the cover of the Canadian Quilter magazine.
Summer was supposed to be down time for reorganizing and designing-didn’t turn out that way though I did get a few finished. I toured the province from Ottawa to Hamilton to Owen Sound and re-connected with some old friends plus got to meet lots of new ones. The fall schedule is pretty full now and […]
We’re starting the New Year off with a big bang!! Northcott is using two designs in magazine ads over the next few months. On February 3 The Fons&Porter Quilting Quickly magazine hits the stands with a full page ad featuring Bon Echo Rock (they are also kitting the pattern!). The April issue of McCalls Quick […]
Four new patterns including three for Northcott and a Block of the Month! Fall 2014 was crazy busy but oh so much fun. December was spent catching up, completing commitments and getting some patterns written and published. I have also finally been able to get back to some patterns in progress and hope to have […]
Northcott is introducing a new line of fabric in the “Shimmer” family called Sandscapes. It is luscious, beautiful shades shot through with metallics and coordinates well with the existing Shimmer and Stonehenge fabric lines. It is also perfect for stained glass quilts-the marbling looks like coloured glass! The line was launched this past weekend at […]
Look in the Project Bin under Stained Glass and you will find the newest addition to the pattern family. I’m finally getting organized after a marathon 2000km trip through Muskoka! Teaching, trunk shows, demos and hanging out at shops meeting lots of quilters was a lot of fun but created lots of work! I have […]
Putting it together, borders (available at all shops) I wanted to keep the “postcard” feel of the quilt going, so decided to just frame the individual pictures with small squares. The squares were all cut from leftover scraps from the blocks to tie it all together. I placed my coloured and black squares randomly, but […]
Block 8, Cottage (available at The Muskoka Quilting Company in Bracebridge) Well, let’s face it, Muskoka is known as “Cottage Country”. Even the rich and famous flock there for a bit of R&R (and hopefully a bit of anonymity, or at least quiet!). There are some pretty swanky places in and around the area, but […]
