My friendship with Kristy from Quiet Play is one that I can barely remember the beginnings of, but I believe it was when she shared one of her very first paper piecing patterns – a fire truck – and I boldly put myself out there to pattern-test for her. In fact, yes, it was! And that pattern turned into a set of transport vehicles which became a cushion for my son.
We collaborated in 2012 to create a bundle of Christmas patterns called Sew Seasonal. My contribution was Ornamental – 12 machine pieced Christmas ornament designs to finish at both 5″ and 10″ (perfect for charm packs or layer cakes), and Kristy designed 13 paper piecing designs depicting 13 popular Christmas icons. So altogether, that adds up to 25 different Christmas patterns – which is perfect for a 25-day Advent calender, like I made!
And now, Kristy and 2 more of our close quilting quilting girls – Jane and Lara – have started a brand new modern quilting online magazine, Make Modern! I am so thrilled to see what these girls come up with, not to mention this huge step forward for the Australian modern quilting world! I am so passionate about the modern quilting community within Australia, even if I’m not physically there right now. But as we all now, quilting is a global passion, so this magazine is definitely for anybody and everybody wherever you may be!

I had already subscribed to the newsletter as Jane is part of my round robin group. She just finished sewing her border on my leaf block. So exciting!
I hadn’t realised you were with Jane on the Make Modern team!
