Today is the last day in February. Too icy to walk and too damp to enjoy the winter day.
Now in my sewing room I am planning a full day of sewing the UFO's
Also beginning the Islander men's shirt pattern. I am very excited with the methods of sewing learned so far. I started to practice the without pins method on some projects yesterday. The idea of sewing with less pins and aligning all the edges at top and bottom worked well for a simple quilt block I completed. No creeping of fabric as you finish a seam.

New Spring sessions
What a great day to be outside with the sun shining and the ice actually melting off the roof top.
come on Spring !
I have ventured in to stitch up a couple of Quilt Blocks for this Week's American Beauty Quilt.
So pretty and now we are on to the sashing and borders.
Completed the Spring Calendar for April May and June. Great line up and Fabulous teachers to learn from . The ideal sewing instructor guides you through the best way of sewing a project and offers helpful hints along the way. You should come away with a sense of accomplishment and new confidence! Drop by and pick up our new schedule.
We love Kathryn Brenne of the Academy of Fine Sewing and Design in North Bay Ontario.
Watch for her classes coming up in Abbotsford and Victoria BC.

Sewng Tips
Hi Everyone
The snow is still here and if you are staying in sewing, try serging a Quilt
Setting your serger to a 1/4" width using a 3 thread set up and adjusting the width dial with practice will allow you to serge a 1/4" seam
Record your settings and off you go
I took some leftover flannel from the PJ bottoms I sewed for Christmas gifts and rotary cut
5" squares. Serged rows and Viola! A small lap quilt top in no time
Let me know how you are doing

February 2011
As I sit inside on the snow storm of the season I am secretly planning my Spring Wardrobe
My alter ego is in the picture, yes that is not really me but the look will be.
Minis, sheer blouses and the impact of a fun colour never worn before.
Step out with me and enjoy the sewing adventure we will take
