Quick And Easy Baby Burp Cloths

A quilting bee mate of mine recently had adorable twin babies. So we did what every good group of quilty friends do and put together a lovely bundle of goodies! Some handmade items, and some goodies for the new big brother. I put my hand up to make some burp cloths, having a plan in […]

The Bee Hive 2017: Wanta Fanta and Ripples

I’m loving being a part of a quilting bee this year with some of my closest quilty friends! It’s such a great group, and the queen bees so far have been choosing the most gorgeous blocks and colour palettes. That’s always such a perk, because it’s much more fun when you get to play with […]

There were some fabulous projects in May (and this month is also full of beauties!), so let’s get started. #thebeehivequilts This riotous Wanta Fanta block was made by @dlluscombe for her bee’s May […]

Liberty Quilting Bee Blocks

This year, I’m in a mini quilting bee with 5 other members from my local Modern Quilt Guild. With a Liberty theme! It’s fun to really put my growing Liberty stash to use, and to also use more than a little bit at a time from the pinks (like my mini Milky Way Sampler blocks)! […]

Matsuri Table Runner

Late last year, I had the chance to play with a gorgeous bundle of Japanese themed fabrics – Little Harajuku by Benartex Fabrics. Such a lovely range of prints! I decided that they needed to become a table runner of lanterns, inspired by our time at Japanese summertime festivals, eating delicious festival food underneath long strands […]

New: Geode Quilt Pattern

Inspired by the logo of a local Moroccan restaurant, I’m thrilled to finally share my Geode quilt pattern with you all! What’s awesome about this pattern is that each block can use one fat quarter for the print. And with each block finishing at 16″, it means that you can easily use your hoarded fat quarter bundles […]

The Fussy Cut Sampler: Block 8

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Elisabeth for a few years now, and have loooong admired her mad skillz at fussy cutting and incredible piecing, and I’ve even had the fun experience of being in a quilting bee with her. So it was kinda no surprise that when I found out she was writing a […]

Being An AccuQuilt Associate

For years I had heard of the mythical, magical beasts known as fabric cutters, and had long wanted to try them out. To see if they really were as good as the hype. Last year, I had that chance at Modern Makers Retreat to use an AccuQuilt where I sliced up hundreds of 2.5″ and 4.5″ […]

Aurifil Artisan 2017

I still remember hearing the buzz about Aurifil when it first really started hitting the online world. At first, I thought it was just a lot of PR hype. But then I started using it, and I got it. In fact, it’s been just over five years since I started using Aurifil thread, as it was […]
