Modern quilt teacher and patterns
Growing up, I knew what/who Forbes was. My dad was a fan of reading their magazines and checking out all their “must watch” and “biggest success” lists each year. And now, I see that Craftsy has hit their radar! Something that I was a part of from early on, something I have seen grow and grow in success, well, I… Read More
Fear not, fellow Fabriholics Anonymous, I have not fallen off the wagon. In fact, it made for a cheap and quick trip to the Tokyo International Great Quilt Festival, not being able to browse the hundreds of stalls of fabric! But I didn’t leave empty-handed, oh no… I finally gave in and bought some Clover clips. I had been using… Read More
The Easy As ABC final linky ends on Monday, so you’ve got this weekend to finish your projects and quilt tops and link them up for some delicious prizes.
It’s been a quiet week for sewing around here. The boy brought home a bug from preschool, which he shared with his sister and his mother… it’s been 7 days and counting of coughing and lack of appetites and bad sleep.

It is with great pleasure that I get to present the final linky of Sunday Stash for 2013 before it heads on over to be glitter-bombed by Ms Molli Sparkles! I also think it is rather ironic that I am the host of the final linky before I head into a 6-month fabric fast! Although I did realise the other… Read More
I have been thinking about selling my Easy As ABC quilt, and have been thinking about what price to ask for it. In light of the recent furor discussions at Molli Sparkles last week, I have had a lot more to think about! I posted this picture on Instagram to share my current thoughts at the time which was that… Read More
The news is out! Pantone have announced the Pantone 2014 Color Of The Year – Radiant Orchid! To quote Pantone: An enchanting harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones, Radiant Orchid inspires confidence and emanates great joy, love and health.
