Summer Classes 2015

Hi Everyone!

I'm pleased to announce that my summer classes are off to a great start!

This summer my classes are filled with new and returning students, first-time sewers, adults, children and even mother-daughter combos! Here's a photo from one of my classes last week, two first-time sewers completing their first projects - pillowcases! Very proud of them!

This photo is a dress made by one of my returning adult students, who made this gorgeous Frozen themed dress for a very special little girl. Doesn't she look fabulous in her one-of-a-kind dress? 

If you have not signed up for classes yet, I have just ONE space left in my Monday evenings, starting on July 20th 2015. 6:30pm-8:30pm

As for what I've been working on lately...

I've been jumping back into some paper piecing recently and have fallen in love with this block. 

(I came across the pattern on Craftsy)

I'm not quite sure what I want to do with it, or if I want to make several more and make a quilt....oh the possibilities.

Happy Sewing!
Love, Tiffany

Get To Know Me!

Hi Everyone!

Hope everyone enjoyed their Canada Day and Fourth of July weekend! I was travelling around Georgian Bay, to Sauble Falls, Wiarton, Bruce Peninsula, Manitoulin Island, etc. The weather was absolutely amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed my weekend that was so lovingly organized and planned entirely by my better half. (All of which he managed to keep as a surprise)

Many of you have been curious to know additional information about myself as a person, rather than constantly providing information specifically about quilting, sewing and general crafting. So I have decided to include in my blogs additional bits of what I am doing in my personal life, rather than just photos of what I am creating.

Here are a few photos from my trip this past week!

I've also recently filmed a new video to my YouTube channel, where I've answered some "Facts about Me" questions, to help give my readers/viewers some further insight regarding what my favourite things are. I think it is important to build a relationship with all of you, rather than simply "talking at you" or giving you random information about products or techniques, without allowing myself to showcase more of my personality. If you would like to watch my "Get to Know Me" video, feel free to click on the link below! :)

As for what I've been working on lately, I've been really excited about these fabric bins. I've come up with the pattern on my own, for these three sizes, however, there are many tutorials on Pinterest for various fabric bins. These are so fun to customize and use as gifts or even use to organize your craft supplies! It is my goal to have a YouTube tutorial up very soon so that you can all make some fabric bins of your own!

Happy Sewing,
Love, Tiffany

Kijiji Finds & Custom Order

Hi Everyone!

I picked up this gem last night on kijiji. She's absolutely beautiful and in great condition. I know she isn't designed to be a real adjustable mannequin, but the height of the stand is fully adjustable, she fits my clothes perfectly and she looks great naked too! HA!

For those of you who know, I am moving my business at the end of the summer, and she will look absolutely fabulous in my new location (which is TBA!)

Any name suggestions? ....

Over the past week or so, I've been busy perfecting this custom order sahara hat. These hats are perfect for little ones, because the back of the hat has a veil that will protect necks, shoulders and backs from getting too much sun! Fully protects their face and ears as well! This hat has an adjustable elastic strap, which can be removed entirely. The front brim can be worn down or folded up, as shown in the photos below. 

If anyone has not yet registered for summer courses, I only have availability in my Wednesday evening classes. Please send an E-mail to quilters.workshop@gmail.com to confirm dates! Summer courses begin on Monday July 6th 2015!

What I've been up to?

Hi Everyone!

Above is my new cover photo on my Quilter's Workshop page on Facebook! If you do not follow me already on Facebook, please do! Search "Quilter's Workshop" to stay up to date on events, exciting news, what I'm working on, etc!

Lately I've been really excited about folded star pot-holders. These look awesome in a variety of colour combinations and would make super cute gifts! (Never too soon to prep for Christmas, right?!)

I might just have to do a YouTube tutorial/review on the pattern!


This past week, I also created this little masterpiece! (If you've been following my blog for a while, you will know that I thoroughly enjoy cake decorating!) I made this tear-away cake (cupcakes iced together as a slab cake) for a colleague at my work! He enjoyed it, so I thought I would share the photo with you, as inspiration for anyone interested in making a tear-away cake.

Happy Crafting!

Brooklin Spring Fair = success!

Hi Everyone!

A big thank you to everyone who came out and supported me this past weekend at the Brooklin Spring Fair! This was the first year for the 50 Mile Market craft show.

It was a very long and exhausting weekend, but definitely worth it! I had a blast meeting lots of people and enjoyed all the events and performances that were going on inside the Luther Vipond Arena (which was where the craft show vendors were set up!)

Out of all of the customers that I had over the weekend, this little lady was definitely my most satisfied customer! I hope she enjoys playing with the pages of her Veggie Tales themed fabric book!

Definitely looking forward to participating next year, and assisting with the development of the second 50 Mile Market!

Just three more Saturday's left of my spring session! I can't believe how quickly this term has passed.
Summer lessons begin on Monday July 6th 2015, and will run every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday evening, from 6:30-8:30PM
If you are still interested in booking summer classes, please contact me ASAP as there are very few spaces available!
You can send me an E-mail at quilters.workshop@gmail.com

To keep up to date on upcoming events, to view photos of my work or the work of my students' you can follow me on Facebook and Instagram, by searching Quilter's Workshop :)
