Lindsay Creative Quilter's Guild

On Monday April 16th 2012, I had the wonderful opportunity to present my trunk show to the members of the Lindsay Creative Quilter's Guild. What an incredible group of women! I had such a good time and felt very welcomed by all.

A big thank you to the women of the guild for their invitation for me to attend their meeting and for their encouragement in my future endeavours. Also a big thank you to my parents for accompanying me on my trip to Lindsay, for holding up my work during my presentation and for being ever so supportive.

Looking forward to my next trunk show!

Today I bought some elasticated thread and a jelly roll...I have some ideas up my sleeve! Unfortunately I will not be able to actually try out my ideas until the end of my exams.

I will be free to play with my sewing machines on April 26th....and then the fun will begin!

Easter

It has been a little while since I have posted anything, school has been getting in the way again! Final exams coming up soon and then this semester will be over! Yay!

I hope everyone is enjoying their Easter long weekend.

I have lots of pictures to post today of some of the Easter things I have made in the past few years.

I hope they are inspiring!

Easter place mat, the basket is paper pieced and the flowers are machine appliquéd. The scalloped edges were the most challenging part.

I made this table runner several years ago, the pattern came from a book filled with spring-themed projects. It is one of my favourites.

This is a miniature Easter wall hanging. The basket, eggs and bunny are machine appliquéd.

This wall hanging consists of four simple paper pieced blocks that I got off of Electric Quilt.

I will be doing a trunk show at the Lindsay quilt guild on April 16th, I'm very excited! It has been several months since I have done a quilt show, and I have lots of new things to bring with me!

Advent Calendar

Hi Everyone!

On Tuesday evening I presented my trunk show to the Port Perry Patchers Quilt Guild. Although slightly unorganized due to the absence of a few key guild members, the show was wonderful and I was warmly welcomed by a great group of quilters, even some young faces were in the crowd which was lovely to see.

Yesterday was also my Father's Birthday. Both my Mother and him, love my advent calendar that I made. I spent about an hour on Saturday night just embroidering the numbers on it. But it turned out nicely. If anyone is interested in making one of their own, they can E-mail me and I can send you some instructions. I came up with the pattern myself, so you cannot find the pattern in a book or magazine. My E-mail is quilters.workshop@gmail.com.

Every quilter has a masterpiece within, never be afraid to try anything new.

Trunk Show

I am very excited for tomorrow, I will be presenting my trunk show to the Port Perry Guild.

I worked very hard last night to finish the binding on one of my latest quilts so that I will be able to bring it with me to the meeting.

I finished designing a new advent calendar, I plan on giving it to my Dad for his Birthday, on Wednesday so I am unable to post the picture of it until then!

I recently re-ordered next year's subscription to QuiltMaker magazine, it is my favourite quilting magazine, the patterns are always accurate and easy to follow especially for beginner quilters. I find there are more patterns and fewer written articles/ads compared to other magazines, which is nice to see.

I will be posting pictures within the next day or so!
