The best part of a hobby is doing something slightly new. The making of this quilt was made challenging by not following a written pattern and using the fabric I had as a limiting factor. The cubes are made from six fat quarters from Tilda Chambray and the border fabric (which I believe is also […]
I came across the opportunity to test a quilt pattern before being available for purchase last fall, uncertain if this is something I would enjoy and how it would work. I had some time, so I decided to go for it. My favourite thing about quilting is trying something new with each project. With this […]
I am intrigued with the grunge fabric line by Moda. As I am new to quilting, I find it challenging to use fabrics with patterns. The use of grunge fabrics gives the ability to sew a piece that is catchy and dynamic in comparison to using plain solids. I bought a fat quarter advent calendar […]

The first of anything has a feeble fate. Creating a quilt has a multitude of ways in which things could go wrong. With fear, the first quilt was made. The quilt pictured is named Blueberry Pie. She was created from fabrics in different shades of the same colors, in the same pattern. Blueberry Pie took […]
A simple, mesmerizing paper lantern. The admiral blue hexagonal outline is filled with a lighter blue vellum paper. Simple geometries can make powerful visuals. A hexagon divided into three rhombuses (or is it rhombi?) gives the illusion of a cube or a flower of six rhombuses. Whilst glueing cardstock with narrow lines is challenging, the […]
