Welcome to another destination on the Canadian Christmas blog hop. This week, I present Spinning Star – a design that can be used any number of ways, including appliqued, quilted, and beaded – plus a recipe for our traditional Christmas Eve tourtiere. Thanks for stopping by!

The quilt Tools of the Trade depicts some of the favorite tools in a quilt maker’s studio. The pattern for this quilt is available in my book Sewflakes: Papercut Applique Quilts and now you can also take a class to get started on your own version of this quilt.

Every now and then, a quilt strikes a chord, captures the imagination, and generates great interest. Such has been the case with my quilt Butterfly Kisses. Three years and many requests later, the pattern for this quilt is finally available.
