Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday!

After sharing the design and inspiration for this year's quilt along pattern last week, it's now time to get started on your own quilts by selecting a quilt size and deciding on colours!

The first choice is easy; a large quilt or a small one? But the question of colour has a lot more options!

On the blog, I've shared my own colour scheme, as well as several others inspired by a variety of natural landscapes! Hopefully one of these will appeal to you, or inspire your creativity and help you to draft a unique colour scheme of your own!

Did some piecing on a scrap project that I'm testing for a friend!

This block is the La Moyne Star, and I had a lot of fun choosing colours and colour placement to make my block unique!

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday!

This week, I'm excited to finally share the design for my next quilt along pattern!

A lot of time and little changes have gone into the development of this pattern, with inspiration coming from many unexpected places!

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday!

After a very exciting weekend, I'm looking forward to a more relaxing day focused on my stitching projects!

I've been working on a few different things; outreach projects, crochet, and pattern drafting, and I'm excited to share my recent progress with all of you!

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday!

I've continued working on my quilt along pattern and the design is finally complete!

With the current wildfires in Quebec, my area has become pretty overcast and smokey.

Not the best weather for being out and about in, and it's definitely not very nice on my lungs, so I've decided to stay home wirh Meara and work on some crochet squares!

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday!

After a few weeks of progress, I'm excited to share a new project update!

I've been doing a good job limiting the number of different projects I'm working on simultaneously, which means what I have been working on has progressed well!

Did a little hand stitching today on one of my outreach projects!

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday!

After nearly a month since my last update, we've made some big progress in our sewing studio renovations!

It's still not completely finished, but it's finally beginning to look like a room rather than a construction zone!

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday!

After another month of stitching progress and an update to my seasonal goals, I'm excited to share a new project update!

I've been working on several ongoing projects, including my crochet squares and some mending, as well as some progress on a new outreach project for one of my guilds!

Working on another crochet square today, featuring my very aesthetic basement!

Hello Friends and Happy Summer!

With a new season upon us, I'm excited to look back at what I've been working on over the past few months, see how I've progressed towards my goals, and decide what to work towards in the coming months!

But when I did that, I realized I've been so busy with moving and renovating that I actually didn't set any goals for the Spring season! So this month we'll be looking back half a year to the goals set back in December!

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday!

After working on my design for a little while, I'm excited to finally share the first sneak peak at my next quilt along pattern!

Several of my current creative interests inspired the direction this pattern is taking, and I'm really excited with how it's coming along!

There are still a few changes to be made before it's ready for stitching, but I'm looking forward to taking each step one at a time!
