This is a “catch-up” post, one I meant to write months ago, but didn’t. It’s been a busy summer! I made this throw-sized quilt for my husband’s cousin Jason, who married his long-time partner Jasmine in a beautiful, fun, and romantic wedding this spring: It’s a simple charm square quilt of my own design, made [...]

Long overdue crafting post: quilting

After making a lap quilt for Baba (t!’s grandmother) for Christmas, I took a bit of a break from quilting. Over the couple of months I’ve been slowly getting back to it. My first project was aborted after a couple of weeks. I joined an online group that is spending the next 18 months making [...]

This year’s hand-made Christmas gifts included: A scarf for my mum, knit with some lovely yarn that Arin spun for me A second scarf for my mother-in-law, knit from soft, shiny bamboo yarn. And a lap quilt for Baba, t!’s Ukranian grandmother. She liked it a lot.

Quilt blocks, that is. For the past few weeks, I’ve been doing a lot of quilting. Or more specifically, I’ve been making a lot of quilt blocks. Like many people enamoured with a new hobby, I got very enthusiastic and threw myself into a number of projects. In this case, many of the projects were [...]

Hi, I’m back. Back from our trip to the UK and back to (hopefully) regular posting. Catch-up from a week away and starting a new part-time job as a copy-editor put posting on the back burner for a bit, but now I have a bunch of catch-up to do, so here goes… The trip to [...]

The big quilting project I mentioned last week but wouldn’t share any details of was a little throw-sized quilt I was making for my friends Frank and Jessica as a wedding present. Since it was gifted to them on Saturday (at their lovely, fun, joyous wedding), now I can post a picture of it: It’s [...]
Finally, a quilting post!

I was hoping to post this on Wednesday, but I got flattened by a nasty case of food poisoning that I am still recovering from. Recovering from food poisoning, however, finally gave me some time to catch up on my quilting, because I couldn’t be out digging the garden. These blocks are for two block-exchanges that [...]

There’s no way I can do this justice in a blog post, but I’m going to try anyway: yesterday evening I attended a presentation about an amazing art project. Esther Bryan is a local (Williamstown, near Lancaster) artist, painter, musician, piano teacher. 10 years ago she had an incredible creative vision of a work of [...]

On Tuesday I came home from my regular visit to my father in the nursing home with a half-dozen of his shirts. He hardly has any mobility left, so the nurses/aides have to dress and undress him. I’ve been asked to modify his shirts to make this easier on everyone involved. So I spent a [...]
