Funny, when you keep a secret for SO long and then the pressure comes down and everything seems to happen so quickly after grinding along for so long. I made my sister a quilt. I told a lot of people, friends and co-quilters (and I think I posted progress on twitter, which it turns out […]

K is for Kiran

Shannon and I had a couple gifts but had no wrapping paper so I got to work.

Sewerella
By Caitlin Jane in crochet, Griping, making stuff is goodFirst, the bad news. Or wait, first the good news! I went to my first Toronto Modern Quilt Guild meeting last Sunday and I had fun! It was so nice to meet other quilters of all different ages and backgrounds-all women though. I know male quilters exist, I’ve just never had the pleasure of meeting […]

Quilt show
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, crochetI went to a quilt show this morning in St.Catharines. I think it was my first ever so I really didn’t know what to expect. There were lots of…quilts.

Let me reiterate, it’s wonderful, full of seriously beautiful quilts, simple and perfect. My favourite one is purple and blue and it’s SO gorgeous that it makes […]

Still busying along
By Caitlin Jane in crochetOne of my favourite websites that I subscribe to, whipup, often has cool patterns and techniques that I want to do but never get around to. Then they posted this chicken the other day and because I can print from my iPad, I got to work and made 2 of them (the first one was […]

Zippy.
By Caitlin Jane in crochet, making stuff is goodSince learning how to make zipper pouches a couple weeks ago at the workroom, it’s pretty much all I do/think about. They are a fast, easy project and use up small bits of fabric that we all seem to have hanging around taking up precious crafting space. I know I have made more than this […]

Picture free update.
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, books and reading, crochet, daily grind, dollhouse, food, making stuff is goodSo it looks like it’s been 2 weeks since my last update, sorry. Where does the time go? Frankly, I don’t know. I mean, I have made 4 quilt tops (and finished one completely including binding), sewn 90 triangle flags for a bunting (they are 6″ across, 9″ long and not quite finished yet) had […]
