I love knot patterns. In fact, I love everything Irish.

A few years ago I bought a Fatquater bundle of gorgeous orange and terracotta civil war reproductions. I had a pumpkin theme in mind. But somehow I never got started...until I saw this amazing living room my friends created. On a black tiled floor stood a huge terracotta sofa. All of a sudden I had this vision of orange charms and dark framing. To add a bit of sparkle some yellow and cream toned charms were introduced. The quilt finally got rather big and the quilting was quite a job.

Jacob's Shirts

For a number of years my hubby's job required white or light blue shirts. This time is over now, we enjoy a quieter life with more casual attire. So this Jacob's ladder made good use of all these shirts.

DIY Design Wall

When I got my own sewing room I was lacking a big design wall. And by big I mean REAL BIG. All I used was white flannel backing and a light metal pipe plus my handy dandy drill set. Voilà ca. 85 x 85" and it's sooo handy.

The wrong batting

There was this charity for children in need of a quilt and I got hooked and started sewing. After finishing at least 10 quilts I discovered that a certain type of batting was required: all polyester, very fluffy... So it turned out that my quilts were not what was wanted. I work with Hobb's 80/20 and love the heavy fall of it. So they got distributed among my friends. You can only see the back of the quilt but I love the idea that it's used and much loved.

Lovely colours

My aunt fell in love with the "Field Notes" collection. When the Layer Cake arrived we only had to decide on the pattern. She chose the double slice and was trilled with the result. The quilting was loopy and it was probably my fastest quilt so far.

Weavy Lines

Halfsquare Triangles are so versatile. A few 30s charms, some white ones and a few flowers for the border. Voilà.

A Walk down Memory Lane or get rid of it all!

My heart was in all this fabric. Some bits could tell a story some bits are just... well you know, some were downright wrong. I was drawn to each and everyone at a certain time. This is to remind me that all the bits and pieces matter.
