Tied up with a Bow
The minute I saw this pattern, I knew I had to make it. It is the cutest placemat ever. Mine is pink and blue like the picture in the pattern, but I also want to make them in Christmas colours. The bow is perfect for that. It is done with fusible web applique and goes together easily. A rayon satin stitch finishes the project nicely and gives it a nice shine.

Cake Therapy and Beyond
We have a new idea for Cake Therapy. We’re going to try it as a Facebook session. If you haven’t already attended Cake Therapy, then it’s time you did and find out what you are missing. Whether you are a beginner or advanced quilter, you’ll have a lot of fun learning and sharing different techniques. There are NO FEES for these sessions, but there will be some great deal if you want to make these projects at home. Usually, we provide the cake when thses sessions were hosted at the store however, due to current circumstances you will need to provide your own cake (or treat of choice) while you watch.
Join our “Show and Tell” segment by sending pictures of your project to dblori@telus.net

Scrappy Wonky Log Cabin
This is the most fun you can have using up your scrap basket. One of my favourite patterns is the log cabin and I looove this one. The fabrics can be divided into lights and darks to maintain the traditional log cabin look, or go totally random for a unique quilt all your own. The strips are not a uniform width so this pattern looks like a new version of our well-loved log cabin. You can cut your scraps into strips ahead of time and hit the ground sewing.
