C'est Chic!


Just because I'm a geek :) French onion soup in my new chic soup bowls!
(Sorry to Kwit who had to wait to eat while I was taking this picture!)
mmm...perfect dinner on such a crummy night! And for dessert: pumpkin spiced cheesecake!

You don't know Jack...


Over the past couple of months I have made 4 quilts for the totally adorable baby names Jack/Jackson/Jaxon! My latest favorite (top left corner) was made for Kirk and Krista and their beautiful new baby Jackson, who I had the pleasure of meeting last night :) He is just so delicious! Jaxon's quilt was a special order from his mommy's dear friend Mariko! The owls quilt was given to close friends, Shayna and Smitty from Ontario, who just had their first baby, Jack, a few weeks ago! And the birds and dots was a custom order for Carly, a friend from PDP, who is awating the arrival of her baby boy, Jack!
A plethora of little "Jacks"

A Love Affair with Love

This is a personal favorite, and I have gotten many great responses from others as well! I made this for Chelsea, a great friend from PDP.  She wanted a quilt with bright turquoise and corals for her family room, she decided on Amy Butler's Love series, a perfect choice, since she is a newlywed! I designed this quilt using a big block pattern because I like modern piecing and the fabrics are just so beautiful, I wanted them to be seen in big chunks, not tiny squares!  And the best part Chelsea LOVES it too! Thanks girl!

technology arghhh!

I just want this pic to be the thumbnail on my FB link...but it isn't recognizing the pic in the heading spot so i will post it and see if that works!!

"fall"ing for Fall

This is my newest quilt, for Fall.  This created a dominoes effect in my living room, which FORCED me to re-accessorize or so I tell k-wit! I went for a more urban contemporary look, finding some great things from my local homesense! I encorporated the greens and purples as my accent colours, as I was finding the room to be very blah! I found 3 accent cushions, two which remind me of a cozy fall sweater! And ta-da, a perfect update for fall!

bonjour et bienvenue!

Bienvenue! This is snug, an accidental love affair with fabrics, design, and quilting, which has blossomed into a lovely little business.  About 2 years ago I made my first quilt, a big and beautiful lap-sized blanket, full of colour and pattern from the Amy Butler Lotus series.  After that I became addicted to fabric and wanted to make more, so I made another lap-sized quilt with Heather Bailey Freshcut series.  Since, I have made countless blankets for family, friends, friends of friends, newborns, toddlers, and of course myself! I make custom orders and have my own designs available for purchase.  Hold onto your ponies, more will be along shortly! I am still learning all about this blog world!
Ciao,
