Its Fri-yay! Not when you are a mum that makes a huge amount of difference but it is nice to feel I am celebrating with the rest of the world, even if it is just a bowl of doritos and a cup of peppermint tea lol. Now I have a LOT of photos to show you and I mean a LOT! You know how I always bang on about wishing I could improve my photo taking skills? Well problem solved guys – I asked talented local photographer Angela Lisman to accompany me to a photo shoot for my recent quilt – the result is that you are going to see a LOT of photos because I could not choose my favourites, she really is that good! One of my most favourite things to do in the world is work with the amazing fabrics designed by Jennifer Paganelli, the woman is a legend in matching colour and pattern and doing amazing things with both. Her latest range Hotel Frederiksted is no exception and I think it is my favourite so far. I love jewel colours and florals, throw in birds and I am in quilty heaven! Now as far as my […]

Today I am resharing the Sophie Car Seat Quilt Free Pattern, I made my daughter the original quilt back in 2012. I originally shared this free pattern on the Moda Bake Shop, and today I'm sharing it here.

I have already said how much I like "Liberty Love" book. I made a few projects from the book and the more recents are this Mini Spool Quilt and 2 pincushions The mini Spool Quilt is actually a mix of the book's pattern and Camille Roskelley Spool quilt pattern. I am taking her brand new class on Craftsy and loving it. I used 4 different fabrics for my spools, the top of the spools are made out of Robert Kaufman linen. and guess what? for the first time I used free-motion quilting ! I know, I know , It is no big deal: it is only a tiny portion of the quilt, but I am LEARNING!!:) and loving it! The mini Quilt was gifted to a dear friend for her new home. With the scraps from the spool quilt and from my scrap bin, I made 2 pincushions for 2 sewing friends. I didn't have enough prints in Liberty so I added other scraps in the same colorway. What I really like about these pincushions is that they are quite a generous size. Quite cuddly really!! I really enjoyed these small projects! they brought a lot of satisfaction!! Well! tell me, what are you working on right now?? my next project will be a bed cover for my 4 year old boy. have yourself a great day soph bonjour amis francophones! voici mes 2 projets les plus récents: un mini quilt bobines, en Liberty et des petits coussins pique-aiguille. Des petits projets offerts à des amies couturières. J'ai tiré mon inspiration du livre Liberty Love et d'une classe en ligne sur la plateforme Craftsy: Playful Piecing technique par Camille Roskelley. voilà!! je vous laisse car je suis harcelée par mon fils: "tu joues mamaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannn??????" biz soph

Lately I've felt the need to look up from my pile of tax papers and take a deep breath! To take what's left of January to try and renew my creative juices. My hope is that this year will be one of many changes. Changes that will allow me to get back to designing, hooking, dyeing and doing the things which I have a deep love and need to do! About a year ago I happened to come across the work of a french artist who's work just blew me away! She's a crochet artist who dyes her own threads and fibers used to create her work. Sophie Digard inspires me. The way she uses color in such intricate, delicate and interesting ways. Some of her creations are fun and whimsical like these crochet dog necklaces! I love her use of velvets with the crochet! When I see the geometric patterns in the scarves she's well known for... I see ideas for hooked rugs! The use of textured yarns... with neutrals, and darks! Isn't it exciting! Are the wheels in your mind turning yet? I study her work with an eye to the interesting and pleasing color combinations she uses! The details and little surprises of unexpected stitches combined with velvet over crochet! Wearable art... how lovely! Would I have the patience to create such intricate things? Stitching on a linen shawl... so delicate and worthy of studying each shape and design. I think that is her amidst her work! I was not able to find a whole lot of information or more photos of her online. Do a google search and look on pinterest where I found most of these photos of her work. So.... tell me.... are you inspired?! Is there an artist or two whom you look for inspiration? What about their work makes you happy, calm or inspired to create your own works of art? Thinking Spring... looking forward! Cathy G
