One Stitch

I wish all math was Quilt Math.

I remember learning about patterns in Grade 1 with Mrs. Rush. I loved using the colourful geometric stickers to create ABAB or AABAAB on a grid and watching different patterns evolve.

Quilting is a lot like that memory. There are so many beautiful possibilities with just a little turn of the square or the addition of a new fabric.

Quilts don’t just happen.

There’s a lot of planning involved to make just the right fabric combinations. Today was all about figuring out the Lights and Darks and creating the best contrasts.

A lot is intuitive to me… but also requires photos back and forth with my creative friends!

This was a fun Easter project for and the results: KA-CHOW!

This quilt was STITCHED WITH L🩷VE.

A fellow Guild member showed a similar quilt that become my inspiration for the design.

Quilt Block: Potato Chip Block 12x12 inches

Many thanks to all my Quilty friends who sifted through photo after photo with suggestions on colour layout (you know who you are 😉)

I’m chasing sunlight today to get some SOCK photos.

This Bearfoot sock yarn from is a new one for me and I am thrilled with the results.

This yarn is 60% Superwash Wool, 25% Mohair, 15% Nylon. The added mohair gives a nice halo as seen in the close up photo.

These socks will be a great addition to your Fall/Winter sock line up.
