Sunday Destash

Last week I destashed some scraps on Instagram, and tomorrow I will hopefully finish that task off! There’s still red, pink, purple, orange and yellow to go, plus a few other bits and pieces too. And there’s still a couple available from this week – some Aurifil, aqua scraps and some Japanese boys’ fabric. I […]

I Quilt Here

When your good quilting friend is in a bit of a internet connection pickle, you step right on up and help host her weekly quilting linky! Gemma at Pretty Bobbins hosts a quilting linky each Thursday for you to link up any free motion or other quilting posts from the week. It’s kinda ironic that […]

Japanese Fabric Sale – Closing Down

Summer holidays are fast approaching which means life is about to get a whole lot noisier and busier with both kids back at home again. And as I’ve been running to keep on to things ever since they both started in May (although 2 weeks of visitors and 17 days of solo parenting between now […]

XOXO, Aneela Girl

Last week I saw a new hashtag on Instagram: #quiltforaneela. Aneela recently shared that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer and is having surgery, so quilters are doing what quilters do best – to wrap her with some quilty love while she focuses on her health! Chelsea from Pins and Bobbins is collecting XO […]

Navy and Gold

On Monday, I had the most amazing opportunity to catch up with a friend I have known since I started college! She has been a big blessing in my life and one of my kids’ most favourite soft toys (a classic Piglet) was from her. You know how special soft toys are! She even took […]

Three Lessons I Learned From QuiltCon Registration

Last night was one of the most stressful and anxious nights of my life, and after having had 3.5 hours of sleep, I now must go to a preschool parents’ observation day for my son followed by 2.5 hours of English teaching. But waiting until midnight and spending an hour registering, plus 30 minutes with […]

Sew Cute Tuesday

What happens when you mix solo parenting with solo-parenting-insomnia, meeting an online friend you’ve known for over 7 years for the first time plus a 5:40am taxi to get her to the airport on time? The inability to think straight and remember what day it is. But! I can definitely tell you that it is […]

Fabric Fast: The Final Outcome

At the beginning of the year, I decided to try a fabric fast. I wasn’t buying up wildly, but I certainly was buying a lot more than I needed, let alone things I’d actually use (ie. charm packs – so adorable, rarely actually used). And I went well! I went to the Tokyo Quilt Festival […]

Free Feather Block Pattern + Paper Piecing Tutorial

Last week, I shared the feather quilt blocks I made for Gina, including this paper pieced feather block. I wanted to share the pattern with you, as it’s a great beginner-friendly paper piecing pattern and a great scrap buster! And while I’m at it, a full paper piecing tutorial to show you just how easy […]
