Just got another picture of a stunning quilt! I met Jackie in June when I was at Thimbles&Things. She got a great start on her quilt but wow! is it ever lovely now that it’s done. She has moved on to other projects including my “El Nino!” tulip quilt, and even spotted an error in […]
Just got another beautiful hooked rug version of one of my designs. Stunning! Carol Shewan teaches rug hooking and even got me doing it. She is a vendor at Fibrefest in Almonte September 13/14- selling rug hooking supplies and kits. I’m hoping to see the “live” version of this at the show!
I was thrilled to be asked to design the quilt for this year’s hop September 25-27. Thought you might like to see it and some of the background stories for my block choices….I will try to post them one a day, we’ll see if I can keep up. If you can’t join us on the […]
Way back last winter I was invited to do a design for a new line of Northcott fabric. Part of the Stonehenge collection, it was called “Earth Rhythms”. How could I resist? The fabric is finally being released in the next month or so and the patterns are now available with the new fabric shown […]

The two-day festival of textiles and fibre arts will close this year with a Lamb Race over the main falls in downtown Almonte! The show runs Saturday September 13 […]
I am speechless! MJ Doherty took Temagami Highlands and hooked it-it is absolutely gorgeous. Carol Shewan (a semi-local hooker based in Westport, Ontario) has been teaching stained glass rug hooking and has been offering my patterns to students. We thought they would work but WOW! I love it and can’t wait to […]
If you want to try this technique, contact me and I will happily send you a PDF file of the drawing! Step one: trace non-reversed drawing on your black background fabric using chalk To do this, tape the black fabric over the drawing leaving an approximately 2” margin all around it. The fabric […]
I have been asked by a few quilters for videos on techniques and while I am not quite tech savvy enough to produce video I will be making posts. I have also written up some information notes that might help get projects done and I will begin posting those as well. There is […]

Also got to meet some Row by Row shop hoppers from across the border. I am always so excited to see what happens when people […]
