Modern quilt teacher and patterns
For regular Sew Cute visitors, you will notice this is a little late going up today. The past few days have been pretty busy with the start of summer holidays here in Japan! On Saturday, we had our preschool’s matsuri aka summer festival. Imagine around 400 little kids aged 3-5 years old running around doing traditional matsuri activities like carrying… Read More
I recently took part in the Aussie Kate Spain Charm Swap. My love for Kate’s fabric has long been widely professed, so my participation was a given! I have also long-harboured a desire for a purely Kate Spain patchwork quilt, and have been collecting her fabrics to do just so. This swap has saved me a lot of cutting of… Read More

I’ve been back at the sewing machine this week, and it feels great! I’ve just got binding left on a table runner, which, being my least favourite part of a project, has been sitting around waiting for a few days. I also have a mug rug to make and a quilt block, so I will be at the machine again… Read More
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… Read More
Aubrey and the girls at Southern Fabric have always entranced me with their beautiful range of fabrics, enhanced by their gorgeous photography! It really helps you feel like you’re in store in person, rather than just online! For instance, I would really love to be able to stroke Social Club – I love the circle feature print! It would make… Read More
Today’s giveaway is one from my own stash of Japanese fabrics – what would be a Blossom Heart Quilts giveaway without some of this deliciousness?! Before we moved here, I had always heard rumours of this magical material known as Japanese fabrics, but I had yet to experience them for myself. And it didn’t take me very long to realise… Read More
The Fat Quarter Shop has been a longtime supporter of Blossom Heart Quilts, and I’ve had a lot of fun collaborating with them over the past couple of years! Together, we’ve done the Having a Starry Time blog hop featuring a range of different star quilt blocks using Triangle Papers to make the HSTs, and we also ran the Sweet… Read More
It has been a big couple of months online for me!! It started with hitting the 1000 follower milestone on Instagram around the same time as this blog’s second anniversary. And then last month as the blog reached the first year mark of being here on WordPress, I also hit the 1000 followers on Bloglovin. I love sewing, and I… Read More
It’s a very special Sew Cute Tuesday this week! One of our loyal Sew Cute party members, Soma from Whims And Fancies (home of the Doctor Who paper pieced blocks!), is hosting a College Days blog hop full of 10″ blocks perfect for the graduates in our midst. She asked if I would like to join in to design and… Read More
