Scraps. If you sew, you definitely have a box or many boxes of these pieces. Here's the problem with scraps - I can't throw them away because that would be too wasteful but I also can't use them for most quilt patterns. They are just too small. To use up these pieces, I have been

At some point in my adult years I came to understand the truth of the statement "The obstacles in my path ARE my path." Periodically throughout my life I've been faced with obstacles and challenges that seemed to be diverting me from the path I wanted to follow. As I faced these challenges and found my way through the obstacles, they changed the me who I am... and became an integral part of my journey. This lesson was on my mind when I created the grey-blue version of this quilt, and that quilt serves as a constant reminder to me that obstacles and challenges are to be welcomed -- they bring with them personal growth opportunities and new perspectives for me. I'm sure that reading this you will be recalling your own challenges and how they have shaped who you have become. What a gift it is to arrive at that understanding! I was so pleased with that quilt that I was inspired to see how it would translate in a different colour combination. I was delighted with the result! So many quilters requested a queen size version of this quilt that I finally turned the layout I had created for them into a proper pattern. The quilt in this Queen version of the pattern finishes at 95" x 105". The layout is shown in the photos.

Introducing my latest pattern, Ribbon Candy! I had planned on this pattern being announced before my son was born, but he arrived 2 weeks early and only one of the 2 quilts was done! I was inspired to design this quilt during my pregnancy and the three-color quilt matches the nursery. It had been hanging out in there for a week before Nathan was born and inspired the idea for the cover shoot. 3 Color Quilt Details Fabric is Ann Kelle for Robert Kaufman Pattern - Ribbon Candy, JBQ 176 Designed by me Quilted by Teresa Silva Started on 6/11/18 Finished on 7/30/18 Quilt measures - 48" x 60" Youth Size Scrappy Quilt Details Fabric is Kona Solids by Robert Kaufman Pattern - Ribbon Candy, JBQ 176 Designed by me Quilted by Teresa Silva Started on 7/15/18 Finished on 9/2/18 Quilt measures - 56" x 72" Lap Size -- I had planned on binding the solid quilt in August, but that day ended up becoming the day that my son was born! Best laid plans they say... It took a few extra weeks since free time with a newborn is basically impossible. After getting it bound I needed to photograph the cover & I recruited some help. My mom took care of Nathan downstairs while my husband and I quickly transformed his nursery into a photo studio!! It was a tight squeeze to get the photo and we had to move the rocking chair so I could get far enough away from the quilts. Here I am asking Lawrence to move the quilt a bit. Doing a photo shoot 3 weeks after my son was born wasn't in my plans, but in the end it worked out! I'm so glad my family is supportive of my quilting endeavors. --- 3 Color Nate wasn't sure what he thought about this quilt at first... But he has decided it is a keeper! -- Scrappy Teresa's ribbon candy quilting in both versions of the quilt was the inspiration for the name. Ribbon Candy is made using the Super Sidekick ruler and there's no Y seams. It's made with 2 1/2" strips cut from yardage (to make the 3 Color quilt) or from precuts (to make the Scrappy quilt). The pattern has six quilt sizes: baby, youth, lap, twin, queen, king. The pattern is printed in full color and templates are included. It's ready to ship to shops now and will be available in local and online quilt shops soon.

Perfect for Wedding or Anniversary quilt. This quilt kit makes a very large queen sized kit as shown in the first picture. Finished quilt will measure approx 88" x 103". I can custom make other kits in colors of your choice. This kit is made mostly of fabrics by Northcott. Kit includes enough fabric to make the top, binding and the pattern. The ruler "Diamond Rects" is optional. The pattern explains how to make the quilt without the Diamond Rects ruler, it's just easier and faster using the ruler ($47 CDN dollars, $34.50 US dollars when bought with the kit).

More storms and tornado warnings a couple miles south last night so I had the machine unplugged again for awhile. 8/10 of an inch of rain and lots of wind. I finished sewing this together by 11p.m. and then pressed it and did a row of stay-stitching around the edge. When it is sewn together I can really tell if it is successful. When it is just pieces on the design wall I have my doubts. I'll call this one a success! It is 44" x 64". I will be posting a couple collages of the progress as I worked on this one.
