Appliance Covers

I'm darn pleased to report that I've knocked off another Q1 Finish A Long project!

Last year, I showed you the first of two appliance covers I made for my friend Cathy.

Felicity with KitchenAid Cover

And now the second one is done!

The fabric is Retro Kitchen by Michael Miller, with some coordinates thrown in. I used this tutorial,

Improv Sewing Machine Cover

26 Nov 2012 | Other RSS posts by
I've had a sewing machine cover in the works for a long time. As in nearly three years.

I started this project, intending to make it into my sewing machine cover, but it ended up wanting to be a mini quilt and who am I to argue?
Confetti Quilt Full Frontal

Fast forward a year and a half, and I still hadn't done anything about my poor nekkid machine. Enter Krista's scrap destash. I bought a large ziplock stuffed to the

Amy's Creative Side

Hello! If you're here for the first time, welcome! If you're a regular, welcome to you, too!

I truly didn't think I'd get a quilt done in time to share, but the stars aligned this past weekend and I got lots of time to finish up one of my WIPs.

Spoooooky Halloween Mini and Placemat

22 Oct 2012 | Other RSS posts by
So here's the thing. I'm not Halloween's biggest fan (I say this with sincere apologies to my friends who ARE fans - Amy, Riel, you spring to mind), because I don't like how Halloween has become yet another over-commercialized crap-acquisition opportunity.

But I have to say that winning the VMQG Halloween Block Lottery last year went a ways toward warming my cold, black Halloween non-fan heart.

Look at the cute mini I was able to make with blocks made by my lovely VMQG peeps:

Sea Glass on Sand

Sea Glass on Sand is finished!

Sea Glass on Sand

I had so much fun working on this little project, mainly because it was one of those "just because" things. I found those little triangles ("shards") and simply needed to make something with them. I stitched them onto the corners of 4½" squares of Kaufman Essex Linen in Natural and Kona Bone, then flipped them over and trimmed. Memories of Leanne's beautiful Atmosphere were floating in my head while I made

Summer Sewing

Even though it doesn't feel much like summer (yet), I have done a little bit of Summer Sewing.

My little girl loves to wear dresses, and so I finally decided to try making one for her. I had a copy of Absolutely A-Line by Wendi Gratz waiting for me to get over my fear of zippers and facings find just the right fabric. This wonderful large-scale print from IKEA fit the bill.

Habitat Pillow Covers

26 May 2012 | Other RSS posts by
Yippeee! I'm so pleased to have these all done. I think I say that about all my projects - what can I say? I get bored very easily so pushing through and seeing projects to the end makes me incredibly happy.

I started these pillow covers during Vancouver Modern Quilt Guild's Habitat Challenge in late Summer of 2011, and around the same time, promised them to my sister for using on her brand-new dark brown leather couches (hence the choice of background colour). Not quite a year later, they're all done. Here's a collage* featuring them all, front and

Rainbow I Spy

No one is happier than I am that this quilt is finally finished, except perhaps its recipient, my daughter.
rainbow i spy

This project was one of my longest-standing WIPs. I began it in a Quilt Along in November, 2010. I worked on it at various retreats, but kept getting bumped by other projects.

The original design was intended to work with a charm pack (which are 5" squares) but I got all fancy and chose some 6½" I Spy charms I'd

Easy Going Modern – Take Two

We were away for a few days this past week, and I brought my second version of Easy Going Modern with me to finish up. Photographed on location in Parksville, BC!

Easy Going Modern - Layer Cake Version

The top was made with a Terrain Layer Cake, and the back is a thrifted IKEA duvet cover. Quilted in wavy lines using a few different threads, all Aurifil.

Crane Star Pillow

My lovely fellow VMQG member Laurraine designs and sells the most delightful patterns via her business Patchwork Pottery. When she recently asked if I'd be willing to test her Crane Star Pillow pattern, I leaped at the chance!

Here's her prototype:
