  1. This may be a dumb question.. But I've been a lurker forever now and I am bad at commenting.. I just wanted to say that I absolutely LOVE your quilts. I was wondering if your sell your quilts??

    We are having our first baby, a girl, in early May and I just LOVE that pink quilt pictured above. It is beautiful and so perfect! You do such a wonderful job :)

  3. thanks ladies!

    candace, congrats on the upcoming baby! i do indeed sell my quilts. i've just had to raise my prices a wee bit as they take me so long to make, and if i want to keep making them i need to justify the time. they were $100 USD/$120 AUD and now are $120 USD/$150 AUD for the cot size. i'll post finished pics of this pink & green one in the next couple of days, let me know if you'd like buy it for your wee one : )

    monica, i live in australia so it actually IS tuesday here - weird, hey? it always seems like time travel when i fly between canada and australia, you miss a day here, gain a day there...

  4. It is hot here today. For once I am glad to be at work in air conditioning and not in my 'sunroom' on the sewing machine!

  9. imaginethatquilts, no, just a chosen few from my overflowing fabric collection : ) i decided to work with pinks and greens this time after making a custom fleur in these colours, they just work so well together!

  12. i love the fabrics in both quilts, (& i love your blog too), i've got a little girl born just after Mae, and it's lovey to see how she's doing, i'm also very jealous of your weather - it's so gloomy over this side of the world. would also love to know when/if any more little fleurs are going to turn up in your shop

    These quilts are lovely - so jealous. I have actually been wanting to make a basic machine-stitched quilt using a similar grid pattern. Do you know of any web pages/tutorials that give simple instructions on how to do this (I have basic sewing skills)?
    Love the blog,
    Steph

  15. sorry, steph, i can't think of any off the top of my head but a quick google search might help? i bought a couple of books to ease myself into quilting as i thought it was going to be much harder than it is - i did a quick review of them here http://onegirldesignwrks.blogspot.com/2007/08/mini-book-review.html. good luck, it's super addictive!!
