Spring Cleaning

Yay!! SPRING is finally coming here in our frozen corner of SW Ontario. And I'm finally able to get down into the Quilt Cave without freezing my fingers off!

This cold cold cold winter has gotten  me re-thinking the whole sewing-in-the-cave thing; I think I am going to move on up and begin to sew upstairs; in the spare room. Or, as we'll call it, The West Tower.


I also have been remiss in sharing some FAB news; I get to do my first Quilt Ebook review!! A new Fons & Porter is coming out and I get a sneek peek! Woohoo!

Time to get some sewing on.....get my mojo back, baby YEAH!!

Update & Happy Mardi Gras!!!!


Lots going on here at The Quilt Cave. Christmas was lovely, gifts exchanged and everyone enjoyed the Big Turkey Dinner. (That I nearly dropped on the floor, but that's another story a la Mr. Bean).

I haven't had much time for sewing, we are in the process of selling the house and so, must keep everything contained and neat and orderly. *Snort*

I do have a few WIPS (of course) and plenty of UFOS....
A new favourite full sized WIP

! I did finish a whole bunch of Bloomers however for the shop, to go along with the Custom designs, and  I think I will be adding more colours this summer...keep your eyes peeled!

Well y'all, as they say down in N'awlins.... Laissez les bons temps rouler!!

A few pics for you on this blustery cold Feb Mardi Gras....



The BEST spelling mistake ever....read carefully...a little sewing humour


MY favourite couch blanket made with Moda and Bernat yarns, it's twin sized, took me almost a year. Ha. Perfect to snuggle under...
