Sew Charming! 😍 #quilting #sewing #quiltsky

There’s nothing like a bird’s eye view of your home! 🥰👏🌲🌳🌲 #ForestLiving #NovaScotia #textileart

It’s rare for me to see animal tracks, without snow. Seeing tracks in snow is a favourite of mine, and one of the joys of winter. I found this deer track at the top of my lane way - near the house. 🦌 Always happy to see what neighbours I have around! 🥰👏🌲🌳🌲 #ForestLiving #NovaScotia #textileart

#BestinMiniature Spoiler Alert! I just finished all three seasons…I hope there’s more to come, as watching creatives, create is inspiring! 👏 1/2 #miniatures

I've had this tiny wooden shoe, with my name burnt into it on my keychain for over 50 years! It was gifted to me by an important person in my life. 🥰 I added that slice of branch button, when I first moved here 15 years ago. Bonus...I've always had wood with me, if I needed some to knock! 😂

Reflecting today on how grateful I am, to still be living here in this forest, with all the forest animals who also live here, for 15 years now❗️🙏 It’s not been easy… - I don’t drive - There’s no running water - Exclusively solar powered for my electricity - Wood stove for winter heating #offgrid

A young, energetic skunk bounced across the path I was on - about 10 feet away. 🦨 It jumped up and down a few times, and then went in its way… 😮‍💨 Too quick a visit for a picture, but love how comfortable it was with me so close - or this would have been a smelly story. 😬😂 #nature #forestliving

***Scrap-it-up Tip*** To turn a quilt design into a scrappier version, cut shorter strips from a larger variety of fabrics. Adding a group of fabrics with the same colour, but different prints/designs, instead of a single fabric, can add so much life to the finished quilt! #quiltsky #quilttips

Which is your favourite Stuffie? #quilting #sewing #baby #quiltsky
