Modern quilt teacher and patterns
I am a topper. A serial quilt topper. You see, once a quilt top has come together, my vision for the quilt design is complete in my eyes! Nevermind the fact that quilt isn’t ACTUALLY complete yet. This is no more evident than in the the timeline of my quilt alongs on this blog, and how long it takes me… Read More
I have quite the temperamental relationship with EPP, but I think we’re starting to come to terms with each other. It turns out that I enjoy EPP when I’m not a sewing machine churning out the same block over and over, which is why my Cherish quilt is taking for.ev.er. But when there’s small blocks, and larger blocks, and varied… Read More
If you’ve been around any length of time, you’ll know that I love me some fussy cutting. It makes quilting projects just that little bit more personalised, added fun to make AND fun to look at too! So I really love it when my quilting bee peeps ask for fussy cutting. Jane added in a bonus challenge – fussy cut… Read More
When I started unpacking my Japanese fabric shopping bags, I knew that I would need to make it into two posts. Not because there’s that much fabric, but more because there were two pretty distinct groups of fabric – Liberty, and novelty. I’ve shared my Japanese Liberty fabric haul (with a dash of fabulous foodie fabric) from Yuzawaya, and now… Read More
Phew, I knew that the past few months would be intensely busy, but I didn’t quite foresee that I wouldn’t even be able to bind one simple quilt that I was aiming to finish in March! I did at least finish the quilting on my Milky Way Sampler quilt, and the binding was made… and then used for another project,… Read More
It has taken me over a week to finally get around to pulling my Tokyo fabric shopping out of their shopping bags! In my defense, I didn’t want to do so until I had the time to photograph them and write this blog post, and with a house guests, a family wedding, and more, it has taken that long to… Read More
Due to my trip, I’m a little late to share the wonderful news that I’m returning once again as an Aurifil Artisan! I’ve long loved and used Aurifil, so it’s always a thrill to be able to officially represent the brand and product I love so much. It’s an incredibly talented group of Artisans – there’s quilters and bag makers… Read More
The day we have been counting down to for several months is finally here… tomorrow, we’re heading to Japan for 11 days! It has been over two years since we moved back from Japan, and I have been itching to go back and visit ever since. People have been asking what I’m most looking forward to, and honestly? The food!… Read More
Earlier this year, as I was assessing what quilty goals I’d like to achieve over 2018, I realised that I wanted to pick up my Spanish Farmer quilt project again. I accepted the fact that I was well and truly over the 1930s Farmer’s Wife book, and decided to instead make up the rest of the block count with other… Read More
Another month, and another set of blocks for my quilting bee! This month’s queen is Bec aka @skyberries, and she asked if I could EQ8 up her ideas before committing to her choice for the month. Now Bec makes some AMAZING quilts, and I was so excited to see what she’d choose. Firstly, she chose the Fizzy block. Good start!… Read More
