1. We brought in your Quick Curve Ruler and patterns into our store and we love them! Tell us how you got started. Where did the inspiration for this ruler come from?
   
   One day I was playing around with a curve shape and realized the endless designs created by a curve but knew I didn't want to create patterns with templates. When the ruler idea came to my head I knew it was something different and possibly something that would make cutting curves easier. I had never sewed curves before and after sewing my first curve, I ended up squaring the curved block up and that's why the Quick Curve Ruler is a square up ruler too.

Quilted Fabric Basket

Tabatha & Cookie

I started sewing clothes as a teen, as many did in home ec class then attended Champlain College and the Ottawa School of Art in the fine arts of painting, printing and sculpting. My mother taught arts and crafts at our local summer camp, and taught me how to knit and crochet. My father is also very crafty, his main passion is wood working but has also dabbled in stained glass and leather work. I'm the only child of three who has inherited my parent's love of creating. Quilting is a relatively new passion which started a year and a half ago, following in the footsteps of my paternal grandmother, who was, in my opinion, a master quilter. I can only hope to live up to her talents one day.

Baskets can be used for a plethora of tasks, I like to use mine to transport items that need hand finishing from my sewing room in the basement, to the living room on the main floor, where I can hand sew while watching T.V. I also use my quilted baskets to hold magazines or even so that items in my car don't roll around or get lost. For this example, I used 5 log cabin blocks 10 & 1/2” x 10 & 1/2” and 5 improv blocks. You can use any 5 quilt blocks you like or simply cut 10 pieces of fabric, 5 pieces for the exterior and 5 pieces for the interior.

** PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE CUTTING FABRIC AND SEWING **

(Once you know how this goes together, you may wish to change your fabric and there are construction options.)
