A Finished Super Tote + How To Widen One

Last month, I FINALLY made a Super Tote for my mother-in-law, after she bought the fabric for it last April. Um, yeah, 14 months late! However, it needed to fit an A4 folder across the width, and it was juuust too snug. So I had to widen the Super Tote pattern. It therefore didn’t need […]

How To Quilt Christmas Quilts

I don’t know about you, but when I’m working on a special project (although, what quilt isn’t special?!), I like to think carefully about the quilting designs that I choose. Sometimes an all-over basic design is what the quilt needs, like for a sampler quilt to help unify all the different blocks together. Sometimes a […]

Garland Pattern Testers

In the middle of getting ready to move states, I quickly asked two Melbourne quilty buddies if they were able to whip up a Garland mini quilt to help pattern test. Jane and Erin did not disappoint! Erin aka @quiltbystarlight used some of her hoarded Tinsel by Cotton + Steel to make a super happy […]
