Modern quilt teacher and patterns
Howdy folks! I’ve arranged for a babysitter for Sew Cute this week so that I can spend all my time cuddling this handsome little fella. Or keeping my kids from loving on him too much! Oh my heart is so happy to see cousins together! So today, head on over to Ms Midge to link up and check out what… Read More
The Fat Quarter Shop have just upped their ante with an international mega mega $6300 giveaway for 12 lucky winners! Did you hear that?! INTERNATIONAL! And all you have to do is answer their poll about what you like about their store and what suggestions you have. I love having the chance to be heard, and if there’s the chance… Read More
Today is a momentous day – I have finished my second garment ever, and the first that actually fits properly! And even bigger? No, not my hips, but the fact that I absolutely love it and will be wearing it loads! Normally I’m a pants-kinda gal, much to my husband’s chagrin. Over the years, he’s bought me a few dresses… Read More

Gemma was February Wombat for our paper piecing Wombat Stew bee. She asked for New York Beauty/Mariner’s Compass/Star blocks – we could choose what level of curves we did or did not want! I had a Google and Pinterest around and decided to attempt this New York Beauty block showcased on Sew Sweetness. I was excited to give it a… Read More
Welcome to Sew Cute Tuesday! No wise or witty words from me this week. I’m in the first-week-of-preschool haze with double pick ups each day as my daughter finishes earlier than her big brother for the first month, and trying to be very diligent and use my couple of hours along each morning to actually get lots of work done… Read More
