Make Words Not War

I often wonder how many bloggers engaging with people in the quilt-i-verse (or any other universe for that matter) reflect on their choice of  words used when telling their stories.  I know I do.  In fact I've talked about this in a small degree in an older post entitled The Name Game.  Check it out, should...

A Very Scary Quilt Block

Well here it is the middle of October.  Who knew that time would go by this fast. Not me for sure.   October is the month of ghosts and goblins and all kinds of spookily spectacular things.  Sew, it couldn't be more perfect that the next block in my Wicked and Wonderful PFMSQ is called "Hexing...

My Wild and Wonderful Week

Did you ever just want to simply pick up two pieces of fabric and sew them together....no fuss, no muss, no special tools needed?  Well that's exactly how I felt today.  FYI we just got back from a whirl wind trip to Alberta and BC to visit our kids and grandkids. This is how our...

I am an Arkansas Traveller.

Not really....But perhaps someday. Right now I'm still here and looking at my calendar, unable to believe its October 1 already.  Yikes....summer is definitely over and it looks like we are gonna have a lovely long cool autumn here on PEI.  Many of my neighbours are already decorating their porches and driveways with pumpkins and...

Tilt-a-Whirl – Its a Crazy Ride

I woke up this morning and realized  I've never posted about this huge milestone in my life.  Its really a dream come true. Did you know I had a quilt pattern published in September, 2018.  Holy O My Goodness Gracie.  Her name is Tilt-a-Whirl.  You can find her in Issue 24 of Make Modern Magazine....

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

This is my little star quilt.  It was born following a wonky star block swap back in early 2018. Swappers built star blocks like the beauty below in January and mailed them out in February.  Then we waited with bated breath (what is bated breath and it is related in some way to fish bait?...

Lets all eat Cake…

This is my birthday month and guess what,  I don't feel any older than I did last month, or the month before, or even the year before that. On September 4, I blew out an awesome number of candles, which means I get my wish. Do you want to know what I wished for?  Of...

It’s an Open House Blog Hop. I dare you to come in.

Does it freak you out to try new things?  Me too....but sometimes it freaks me out more to be stuck squarely within the four walls of my comfort zone.  Sew... Rather than just showing you a house block, I thought "We should build a house together... or at least a house themed quilt block. I...

Three Little Birds for my quilt.

Its September, AKA the best month of the year, AKA the start of back to school season, AKA my birthday month...so its essential that this month's blocks really sing.  Bob Marley's smash hit song "Three Little Birds" positively fits that bill. Julie Hirt says this song inspired her to design this block for Week 6...
