lysa flower: Secret sewing has been happening so I've had nothing to show for a long time. Soon. Ooo, I can't wait to show you ... BUT until then, pattern making!!!
lysa flower: Babies!!!! 😃 (I must say, looking a lot less peni than last year! 😏).
lysa flower: You know he's a keeper when he'll stop and pick up thread for you at the end of his very long work day.
lysa flower: I was shocked and very grateful to see these! ... Mother Nature sure knows color.
lysa flower: Oh the Hugh Manatee!!! ... 😏get it?! 😜
lysa flower: I received this zippy pouch from @happysewlucky a few years ago through a swap (thank you @amyamydame for the match up!). My almost 17yr old still insists using it every trip he takes. I'm so proud he knows awesomeness when he sees it! Today, we sent him
lysa flower: And just like that, the Easter bunny has come and gone... leaving many sweet treats behind. (Pins, ribbon and mini envelopes from @thesteamtrunk shop and a bunny bag from a swap with @bespokeoutlaw)
lysa flower: What should we do today? I know! Bind the Frida quilt we made in @sewkatiedid workshop. Thank your Christine (from the #fvmqg) for quilting it!
lysa flower: "Let's play together. Hey I want to be friend of you". That's what it says on this sweet little sewing kit @bespokeoutlaw gave me last weekend, when she came to visit and sew. Aren't sewing friends the BEST!
lysa flower: Repost from @brooklyncrafty who made the Control Freak pattern for her brother's soon- to-be-son in honor of their favorite childhood past time. I LOVE that!
lysa flower: Captain Underpants is my jam. #cantwaitforthemovie
lysa flower: I was given this card a few years ago for my birthday. I've kept it in my studio ever since because this is how I feel when I'm making.
lysa flower: I couldn't resist these SUB POP stickers... because, you know, cassettes.
lysa flower: Miss sunshine herself, @sherrichalke! Sherri made this @artisania bag and put three small cassettes on one side and a large one on the other. #putacassetteonit
lysa flower: I've been deep in the depths of writing my boombox pattern (which is why I've been off the grid lately) BUT I did squeak in some time to write a blog post about @sherrichalke bag.
lysa flower: This is @sherrichalke's BEAUTIFUL quilt at the #fvmqg Creative Stitches show in Abbotsford at the Tradex. I didn't get get a chance to go this year but saw a sneak peak of it on Thursday. I was thrilled to see the talent displayed there. 💕
lysa flower: While testing my #controlfreak pattern, not only did @mischief_unmanaged power through tension issues and quality time with her seam ripper, she also added the perfect #donkeykong fabric to it. Happily it is now a lap quilt for her husband!
lysa flower: How cute is that!!! It gets me every time I see some use my pattern. @sewaftersix made this SW-eet zippy pouch for all kinds of goodies.
lysa flower: I started this at a @dsquilts workshop in 2012. I worked on it again at a @barbmort workshop in 2014. Last summer I had it quilted by @bevjfunk. I finally put the binding on it... it's All done 😊!
lysa flower: Houston we have a problem. I thought I'd turn a mini-ish quilt into a pillow. It's ginormous and stiff as a board (I used an upcycled cushion). This did not go as planned. Recalculating...
lysa flower: 48" x 36". I gratefully blame @poppyprint for my new cutting mat.😉 After her talk at the #vancouvermqg I came home and looked at my cutting mat. I had no choice. And it's PINK!!! 😃💕
lysa flower: A repost from @cleaverr. Her "Hard Core Cassette Tape Mini Quilt" is so dreamy!
lysa flower: I can't believe she gave it to me! @helentervo made this quilt at a @barbmort workshop, I think was our guilds first actually. I fell in love with it HARD. Then this past Thursday Helen (our now #fvmqg president) gave it to me! I still can't believe it, h
lysa flower: You know it's soccer season when... #soccermomlife
lysa flower: I wish with all my heart they still put thread on wooden spools.
lysa flower: And the birthday-ing continues. Lunch with one of my all time favourite people at what has become my new favourite place in #mission.
lysa flower: Still recovering from last weeks birthday and still feeling spoilt rotten. I'm very #grateful. Thank you friends. 😘
lysa flower: Not a photo from last weekend. I'm here again @circa15fabricstudio! #cantgetenough
lysa flower: Flowers from the Granville Island market. One of my favorite places on earth.
lysa flower: I'm humbled by her friendship and her generosity. Thank you @bespokeoutlaw for my lovely birthday present. #igfriendsarethebest
