It’s nice to ease into some sort of regular programming these days. What better way that to showcase a work in progress for WIP Wednesday. We’ve had a few scary trips to the ER with the little one being ill this September. It’s always harder when your kids are sick. First day of Grade 4 stuck in the ER :: NOT cool, superbug😡😡😡 Thankfully, she’s feeling better! . . #firstdayofschool #backtoschool #bcchildrenshospital #flusucks #rockinthebluegown A photo posted by Preeti Verghese… Read more »

Ticker Tape Mini
Another mini quilt is done and no wonder, these are so quick and so much fun to make… even more so if you don’t need to follow a pattern 🙂 I really wanted to use my scraps to make a ticker tape quilt. Saturday was a lovely day to be out and about with camera in hand. I remembered to grab my quilt and a couple of push pins as we walked out the door. If you keep driving north for… Read more »
That Spring Feeling
“Is the spring coming?” he said. “What is it like?”… “It is the sun shining on the rain and the rain falling on the sunshine…” ― Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden Time to open the windows and let the spring air in. Well, it’s still a tad bit nippy to do this for extended periods of time. But it’s here :: spring! Bright green shoots are everywhere. Buds are reaching towards the sun and I’m thinking of casting on for a… Read more »
Sprial Triangle Diamond
Moda Fabrics makes these mini charm packs, aptly called Moda Candy. I can’t resist candy! I bought two packs of Moda Candy and went on a Half Square Triangle making spree. I didn’t really have a plan in mind for these and so once I got those HSTs made, they were forgotten. Two weeks ago, I was sorting through my WIPs. I found some projects that need the ruthless treatment i.e., rip-rip-rip. I’ve totally lost steam with these projects, better… Read more »
Fab During Drab
When the festive season surrounding the holidays is done and it’s not quite spring yet, there is this period of Bleh. It doesn’t help that Vancouver has been enveloped in a dense fog for days. The eerie scene pierced by fog horns is actually pretty cool and keeps all sorts of nautical disasters from happening. I’ve heard that it’s bright and sunny on our local mountains, thanks to temperature inversion. Spring will be here before we know it. In the meantime, I’m going to… Read more »
Mini Modern Maples
Fall has been different this year with the leaves taking their sweet time to show us their autumnal gloriousness. We haven’t had to do any raking in the backyard yet and it’s the end of October! Being able to slowly savor the changing colors has been wonderful. I have a finished fall project too! I saw these Modern Maples popping up all over on Instagram and Flickr. Not wanting to tackle yet another huge project at this time, I settled for a scaled-down version…. Read more »
Pack Patch Mini Quilt
I have been following Chase’s blog, quater inch mark, for quite a while. She does the most intricate piecing and hand quilting. Her posts about everyday life :: crafting or otherwise, are always so sweet. Chase hosted a QAL (quilt along) via the Pack Patch Flickr Group and I signed up to be a part of it. This QAL was so much fun and very interesting! The blocks were a simple twelve patch, but there was a twist. Every Friday, she would give us… Read more »
