Flag Day

 The Canadian flag is 61 years old today. Here's a different take on the flag. It blankets this wonderful country.

The True North Strong and Free.

Happy Valentine's Day

I have been busy but I did manage to put this little wall hanging on the frame and I am slowly quilting it.

Have a safe and Happy Valentine's Day with those you hold dear.

New Year

  

I hope you all had a very pleasant and relaxing holiday with a few festivities.

May 2026 bring you good health and time to enjoy some needlework.

Baby quilts

Even though there is a new member of the family who is now nine months old, neither of these quilts is for her. I have other plans with a pattern and fabric set aside.

This was a top that had been hanging around for a while now.

It is now finished with a hanging sleeve and label. It will be in a quilt show in November. The pattern is from Swim, Bike, Quilt but I added a row at the top to make it longer and use up a few more charm square.

This is the other baby quilt that I completed. Both are hand quilted and both were made to use up some charm squares. This was a free pattern I found online that showed how you could use up a whole package of charms squares - all 42.

This one will also be in a quilt show in November but it needs a label still.

New wall hanging

I got tired of looking at my little wall hanging of a red bird sitting on a branch covered in snow and wanted something brighter and more in keeping with the summer season.

I think I started this little wall hanging in 2021 but it sat around waiting for me to decide to finish it. I found it just at the right time. It's machine quilted and now hangs in my hall. It was a free pattern I found somewhere on the internet and is 11 inches by 23 inches.
