Well it's funny isn't it, I was quilting like crazy right up until an hour before dinner on the 31st of Dec. January came and well we are almost halfway through it and aside from quilting the quilt for my mini quilt swap today is the first day I have really been back to quilting. Today I started to finish the patchwork quilt I started for my son almost 5 months ago. It's a simple patchwork, I did a smaller version for my etsy shop (baby size) loved it so much and had some left over that I said hey why not make one for my minion. I love patchwork quilts, all quilts are beautiful they don't all have to be insanely difficult and fussy just filled with the love and effort of the maker. So the patchwork quilt top will be finished tomorrow but thinking of adding some borders to it "special it up" a bit. My very first quilt was a patchwork for him, I've come a long way since then but I know he will love it. Plus I'm happy to be using fabric from my stash instead of letting it just sit there and collect. What are your January projects? Continuing with lots from 2014 or moving right into new stuff from 2015?

Oh and in other awesome news my very favourite designers latest line was released today!!! I got this email 
And literally jumped up and down since I have been waiting forever for this line!!!! I 💞 V&co she is amazing so I have placed a large order to be sure. Which designers do you love and need to have? Between Kona (love solids) and V&co I could be happy for a long time.

This is a project just for me before I start on my commissioned quilt, and finishing a wedding gift. Busy week ahead :) Oh and here is the finished mini quilt which was mailed out to my partner last week And I also finished this beautiful pixelated heart last week. It was a commissioned quilt. I am so happy with how it turned out!!

Well today, is a quiet day, ok well quiet moment. Mr Minion had one surgery today, one minion is at school the other with her Nonna. I thought I would pop on to share some of the quilts I made earlier this year. I am working on a bunch of projects right now, finishing a commissioned baby quilt and teachers gifts. I will post pics of those as they are done. lately I have been working on my WIP's. As quilters we have way too many of these as we often start a new project long before the last one is even close to completion. I have managed though to finish 2 very large projects that I started months ago. This is my supernova quilt (and my puggle) I had to stand way up my stairs to get this pic as this is a huge queen size quilt. I was first inspired to make this one I saw a pic on Instagram in these colours, it was a block made for a charity quilt and I fell in love. I do love a big block quilt though they do still take time. The pattern is from  Freshly Pieced  and I have made sev

Good morning everyone! Today is a PD day for the kids so we are all at home having fun together. Only 9 days left in school this year. Hard to believe how fast it has all gone. I can't believe I haven't posted some of the quilts I finished earlier this year so here they are This mini sewing machine was made for a good friend I actually have never met. Conni and I met on Instagram and have become great friends. Hopefully one day we will get the chance to meet in person. The pattern for this mini quilt is from  Fat Quarter shop . I just love how it turned out This quilt was made for my Son's 5th birthday. I make them 2 quilts a year, one each for Christmas and one for their birthday. He requested these colours and I knew exactly what pattern. This quilt would not have come together without the help of the Instagram community. A bunch of lovely quilters from Canada and the US helped me by sending me blocks so that I could get this finished in time. I love it, I bac
