With Glowing Hearts – My Poppy Quilt

November 11, 2020 | 2 Comments

It’s Remembrance Day everyone. It’s the day we stop, take a moment and remember all our War veterans.. . . those young souls – men and women – who fought for us and the freedom of our country. I hope you all have a peaceful Remembrance Day.

Awhile back, I made a quilt from fabric designed by a young Canadian designer, Grace Noel. The fabric collection was called With Glowing Hearts and it was created to commemorate Canada’s 150th birthday in 2017. I loved the name of the collection, loved Grace’s story and was drawn, as usual, to the “teals” of the collection.

Since the fabric has been on the market for several years now, it would be hard to find any to purchase. You could do an etsy.com search or contact me. I have some of the collection left.

My quilt was not necessarily made for Remembrance Day. But the poppy row of the quilt was.

Freedom, democracy and our way of life is sacrosanct. It only takes a few minutes to remember.

Thanks so much.

Just a wee sneak peak

October 12, 2020 | 1 Comment

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! I’m sending out a quick blog post today to let you know I’ve been working on an original quilt that I will call All Around the House. The pattern is the simplest of simple. Using the fabric collection called Jubilee from Cyndi Walker (a Riley Blake designer), I honed in mainly on the pinks, greens and whites of the collection.

I must say I really fancied this collection! I’ve never worked with fabrics designed by Cyndi Walker in the past.

Supplementing with some yellows and deep navy’s, I think the combination is quite pleasing.

So, I shall reveal the quilt to you all as soon as possible. It will be photographed in the outdoors.

Take good care.
