BHQ By You: October 2016

One of the best things about this time of the year are all the bee quilts that are starting to get finished up and put together now! Either the queen bee has had long enough to make a few more, or just procrastinate! Or there’s the looming deadline of a Christmas gift to be finished […]

My Quilting Library: Quilt Petite

I can’t quite remember just how long I’ve been following Sedef at Down Grapevine Lane, but I know it’s been a few years. I was drawn in by her stunning photography, and her beautiful creations, and the fact that she was from Adelaide too. I do remember it was when there was a lot more […]

Sunday Stash 200

When your quilty boyfriend celebrates a huge milestone, you join in the party, because you know this guy can par-tay! Sunday Stash is celebrating #200 at Molli Sparkles, and as I have a few new pieces I can share, I’ll jump on that bandwagon. First up, a different kind of stash… well, it’s still super […]

The Modern HST Sampler is rocking along, and it’s now time to parade blocks from the third quarter, that’s numbers 13-18 (you can find all […]

Modern Makers Retreat October 2016

Or alternatively, “The Hangover Dust Has Settled”. A couple of weeks ago, I went to my first quilting retreat. For years, I have been dying to go on a quilting retreat, because dang people made them look so fun! And at last, I finally went to one. And yes, it was just as fun and […]

Modern HST Sampler #20: Confetti

Quilt Classes in Melbourne

What some of you may not know about me is that I’m a fully trained and qualified primary school (elementary) teacher. Being a teacher was something I have always remembered wanting to do, so when it came time to decide what to do/study at university, a Bachelor of Education was a no-brainer. However, I fell […]

Half a Tula Blue Quilt

Whoop whoop! The Tula Pink City Sampler quilt along is on the downhill ride to that number 100 block. Today’s block is day 58, but it’s more satisfying to share the first 50 blocks (and easier to collage, ha!), such a nice round number! So you’ll have to pop across to Instagram – @blossomheartquilts – to see the past […]
