I got some delicious fabric in the mail today that I thought I’d share. Like most quilters, new and beautiful fabrics are very hard to resist for me. Pink Chalk was (and still is?) having a big sale and I picked up a couple pieces. Hmm, so the one at the bottom, it is navy […]

Traveller
By Caitlin Jane in crochetLong time no blog, sorry. My writing juices runneth low of late. I blame George R.R. Martin and his incredible books. Never in my life have I ever-I mean it, ever-read any fantasy books or period books. These are both and I’m somehow completely absorbed. I’m only 121 pages into the second book, A Clash […]

Scrapping
By Caitlin Jane in crochet, love, making stuff is goodI’ve started yet another quilting project: the Farmer’s Wife Sampler Quilt. It’s a pretty amazing book full of stories and 111 different 6 inch quilt blocks. Yes, 111. I’m not as ambitious as you may think and at the moment my goal is to make 80 of them which I plan to put together in […]

Crosses
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, crochet, love, making stuff is goodBack from our romantic getaway for two, I’ve got the itch to get to work on projects that have been set aside.

Ok, ok, so I lied
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, crochet, friendsI spent last weekend in Kinkardink visiting with my dear friends Ashley and Scott (and their hilarious and sweet children) and remembered that the John Lennon piece wasn’t the only cross stitch I’d ever made. Nope, there is this one too. Silly. I’m planning on blogging more, I’ve got a great post about my latest […]

I made this
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, crochetWhen I went to Montreal with my sister a couple summers ago, we went to see an art installation by Yoko Ono about her life with John Lennon. It was incredible and had me near tears several times; what an amazing person she is. John, of course, was so great on all levels. I’d picked […]

Back lit
By Caitlin Jane in crochet, loveI finally put together the top for my yellow log cabin quilt. Yes, I’m loving it. I’ll need to order fabric for the back and then I’ll need to decide if I will quilt it myself or not. It is pretty big, 2m square, so I’ll most likely go with long arm. I like how […]

Next up…
By Caitlin Jane in crochet, making stuff is goodI know, starting a new project when so many others are on hold is generally a bad idea, but I scored some amazing vintage pillow cases the other day and I’m just too excited. There are 8 different prints cut into 5.5″ squares to be sewn into a diagonal pattern in a 16 x 16 […]

Quilteration
By Caitlin Jane in crochet, love, making stuff is goodI have actually had it back in my hot little hands for a while now but haven’t had the inclination to drag it outside in the blazing heat to take pictures. Today was a beautiful day, ideal weather if you ask me, and here we are. As you can imagine, I am thrilled beyond belief […]

Yellow, yellow, hello
By Caitlin Jane in crochet, love, making stuff is goodAll 25 blocks are done. Thankfully, I got all my ordered fabric before the ever delightful Canada Post went on strike. Here they are laid out on a queen size bed: Picture quality not so great, I’m aware. I do what I can with the tools I have. Super happy with the way this is […]
