It’s amazing the difference binding makes! #iquilt #babyquilt #quiltsofinstagram #longarmquilting #quilting #flarefabrics #flarefabricsplayhouse

When the baby arrives a week early, that’s a good excuse not to have the quilt done, isn’t it? My 5th great nephew won’t need this for a bit. #babyquilt #modernbabyquilt #hstquilt #greatnephew #longarmquilting #handiquilter

Testing, testing, testing. Sample quilt is in the wash! #quilting #freemotionquilting #crayolamarkers #testingtheproduct #samplequilt #flarefabrics #flarefabricsplayhouse #fabricmarkers

House right. Quilt studio/workshop/art space left #countryliving #countrylife #easternontario #quiltstudio #ilovemyhobby #covidliving #flarefabrics #flarefabricsplayhouse

So I'm starting to clean up my computer - as well as my sewing space! Found these photos but not the UFO yet. Posting Day #4 I think of my Post a Quilt a Day for 10 days. This sample was made in 2014.

And it’s over! The store is now closed. Again thank you to everyone for their support these last 12 years. And your kind wishes as I start my retirement. This is my 2nd retirement - 5 years ago I left my job in the civil service so I am hoping this is my last. I’m excited about finally finding time to sew and share my projects- although it may take me months to organize my stash! Plus finish building the quilt studio we started so I have room for my long arm and sewing machines. Stay tuned. #closingday #retirement #quiltinglove #figuringlifeout

Quilt #4 - my first live Facetime workshop at the start of this crazy quarantine in April. Not sure much about this works, but I'll use it as a practice quilt once I get my not-so-new but barely used longarm up and running!

Quilt #3 on what day? Another favourite Zen by @blueundergroundstudios I’ve made this pattern 3 times and kitting it was well. Selling the pattern at 70% off today only during the last day of my retirement sale!

My most successful crop this year- green tomatoes! Turned them into a green tomatillo salsa with lots of spice. #salsaverde #firstimegardener #greentomatoes

Quilt #2 on day 4! Another of my favourite patters and oldest quilt. This uses just one batik Jelly Roll from Timeless Treasure. I’ve had it on display at many quilt shows over the years. patter is called Soda Pop by Quilter's Dream. Another pattern that looks harder than it is. #10daychallenge

My friend Linda Kargus Lake nominated me to post a quilt each day for the next 10 days - so as long as they don't have to be quilted I'm in great shape! So many UFOs! So here's Day One! This is on my first quilts, using the incredibly easy 4-3-2-1 Done pattern and then I enlarged it with a piano key border. I nominate Kathryn Smallwood to post 10 quilts in 10 days! #quiltaholic #quiltchallenge

It’s embarrassing to tell you how long ago I did this sample baby quilt using the Polar Bear Pals Flannel collection from Swizzle Stiks.

I used our vegan leather in GOLD to reupholster a set of dining room chairs for my daughter. The chairs belonged to my grandmother; quality sticks around. It's a beautiful fabric we imported from France. 55" wide. With our 50% off sale, price is just $19.99/yard. https://www.flarefabrics.ca/Ekokuir-Vegan-Leather-Gold-Impo
