This is a matching table runner and table topper sewn from scrappy, colourful rectangles and white tone-on-tone prints to create the impression of tumbling blocks. The square topper has a border of hst’s which were a result of the stitch and flip corners used to form the pattern while the runner has a white border. Both are bound with a mottled navy print. The back is an unbleached muslin.

This table runner is pieced and quilted, featuring a row of pumpkins with a lazy black cat stretched out in front of them. Maple leaves in fall colours fill the corners, connected by a border of dark green fabric. A mottled green binds the outer edges.

This is a wall hanging or table topper made from leftover triangles of fabric which I sewed into squares. They form hst star blocks which are sewn together with narrow sashing between. It’s colourful and scrappy.

This is the start of a quilt using a variety of batik prints in a variety of colours. So far all the blocks are cut from a different batik to give a really scrappy look but I am considering whether to duplicate some of the blocks.

This is a wall hanging or table topper featuring five turtles using batik prints for the shells and solid black to create the head and four legs. The surrounding fabric is a dragonfly print.

My dark sky lap quilt is finally finished! It will be gifted to a special couple who just sold their house in the city to enjoy a new life in the country. The stars in the quilt are emanating from their new corner of the world and filling the night sky with light while the sky above the city is filled with light pollution and few stars.

This is a pieced and quilted wall hanging made of 2” squares and half square triangles to form a tree. The green fabrics form the leaves while the upper background has a pale blue for the sky, and beige prints form the earth below. A strip of “grass” borders the bottom edge and even a couple birds are nestled in the branches.

This is a navy blue and yellow quilt that is a work in progress. The navy background is the dark sky which allows the yellow stars to shine. The bottom right corner has a city scape which is the source of light pollution, while the left bottom corner is a rural country oasis.
