The Pattern Basket

Day Dreaming

Introducing my newest pattern - Day Dreams.

Designed using a Jelly Roll from Moda's Martinique collection by Three Sisters. I love the way the block in this quilt comes together. Simple, easy and fun!!

I hope you like it.

I haven't posted for a couple of weeks because it's been so busy around here. I’ve been working on new quilt designs that I'm almost ready to share with you, and also on my website makeover. My website is still a work in progress but we are almost there. I would love for you to come by and have a look around.

Can't wait to hear what you think?

Sunny Afternoon

I spent yesterday afternoon with our playful puppy Logan. It was such a beautiful day that I couldn't resist taking some time away from work to spend some time with this guy. Thought I would share a couple moments of our photo shoot after lots and lots of play.

I love this early spring weather.
I hope it's beautiful where you are!

Room with a View

My husband is in Paris this week on business. This morning he sent me this picture of the view from his room.

This evening he sent me this video.

After sunset, every hour on the hour, the Eiffel Tower sparkles.

Isn't it beautiful!

Mrs. McGregor's Garden

In my last post I revealed a sneak peak of my newest design

Mrs. McGregor’s Garden.

Today it’s finished and available on my website!

Designed with Moda’s Fresh Cottons by Fig Tree Quilts. This quilt full of bunnies measures 60” by 71”.

Happy Spring everyone!!

Another Sneak Peek

I'm no good at keeping my new designs to myself ... so once again here's another sneak peek of what's to come. I will be finishing up the binding on this quilt full of bunnies today. Can't wait to have it finished to show you more!

New Designs

My new patterns have been added to my website.

Come by for a visit!

Catch A Falling Star

I designed Catch A Falling Star with Fig Tree's beautiful Whimsy collection. I hope you like the way this design turned out as much as I do -- it is definitely one of my favourites.

I will be adding all of my new patterns to my website this evening and tomorrow.

Lovely Layers and Cotton Garden

Lovely Layers and Cotton Garden were both designed with Moda's Garden Party by Blackbird Designs. The colors of this collection are warm and beautifully coordinated -- so homey and comforting. Easy piecing makes these quilts come together fast, and a Layer Cake allows you to showcase all of the fabrics in the Garden Party collection. Of course fat quarters would work well too!

Sew Pretty In Bloom

I love aprons -- especially quilted ones!

When I saw Verna by Kate Spain for Moda I knew I had to have an apron made from this collection, so I designed Sew Pretty in Bloom. I think it's going to be perfect for Spring.

Another quick-to-finish weekend project!
