Craft Show 2013 & COOKIES!

Hey everyone!

Super excited for the Picks & Giggles Mom to Mom craft show tomorrow held at Kingsway College, Oshawa ON. Show is 9-3 and you can get a $1-off admission if you visit their website! :)

At the show I will be selling a large variety of items including some special things made by "Tuttle Wood Products" to see some photos, check out the Facebook page! http://www.facebook.com/TuttleWoodProducts?ref=hl

I also made some modpodge fabric plates for the show! Since Valentine's Day is coming up, I came up with these: (sorry that the photo is in the wrong direction, normally I am able to rotate the photos, but for some reason just this one file wouldn't work!)

 And what better to fill these pretty Valentine Plates than with some red velvet, white chocolate chip cookies!

I put a piece of cling-wrap over the plate so I wouldn't get it dirty from taking the picture, that's why it looks glossy! As I am still in need of using this plate for demos and for my show tomorrow!
I got my recipe from http://www.cookingclassy.com/2012/08/red-velvet-white-chocolate-chip-cookies/

They taste AWESOME, if I do say so myself ;)

New Youtube Videos

I uploaded two videos this week.

The first one is called "sewing on buttons; for college boys" - this video is inspired by my friends at school, as many of them have no idea how to sew on a button, so I made this video just for fun :)

And for those of us who already know how to properly sew on a button, the second video is a review on the Olfa Chenille Cutter. I wrote a blog review about it a while ago, but I thought a video would be beneficial.

Enjoy! :)

Trunk Show

This past Monday January 28th 2013, I presented my trunk show to the Rouge Valley Quilter`s guild in Pickering ON.
A great time was had by all and I definitely enjoyed meeting and sharing stories with new people.

Here are some photos from the presentation:

Baby Quilt

Just recently finished this darling little owl baby quilt! This was designed specifically as a customer order for a client who is expecting her first baby boy :)

I drew the owl free hand on a massive roll of paper, and my client and I selected the fabrics together, to match the decor of the baby room.

So very exciting!

Back to School!

Today was my very first day back to school since the Christmas break.
 I'm now counting the days to reading week....

A reminder to my students that sewing classes for this term start again this Saturday January 12th 2013. I'm very excited to see what my students will be working on this year!

I have two announcements that I thought I would share on my blog.

1. Quilter's Workshop is now on Pinterest! You can visit my page at http://pinterest.com/quilterswrkshop/

2. I will be presenting my trunk show to the Rouge Valley Quilter's Guild on Monday January 28th, and as always I'm SUPER excited to meet new people and share my love of quilting with others who also enjoy the art.

I hope everyone is planning some new exciting projects for 2013...I know I have a few up my sleeve!

Photo Transfer Sheet Review

Happy New Year! Welcome to 2013! I hope everyone has had a safe and happy holiday season :)


One of the questions I get the most is how I transfer photographs onto fabric and use them in my projects. So I made a new Youtube video doing a review between two different types of photo transfer sheets. I hope this helps as you can incorporate photos into sewing projects to make some great gifts for the upcoming year!
