Modern quilt teacher and patterns
Earlier this month, I locked myself in my bedroom with my laptop and headphones right before I had to do the school drop off. Not my usual morning routine, but this was for a special reason… I was recording an interview with Pat Sloan for her podcast! I’ve actually chatted with her before on her podcast 4 years ago when… Read More
If you missed the news last month, I have a new quilt pattern shop! Check it out here Psst – Stick around to the end for a celebratory sale! One exciting, but also challenging, part of running your own business is when you outgrow your current set up. Over the past few months, I’ve been feeling the pinch of what… Read More
Last weekend, in celebration of my new mini quilt patterns – Little Liberties – I put up a poll on Instagram about Cinque Terre, asking if people would make a mini or make more blocks and make it bigger.

It is something that we all innately crave, whether we realise it or not. To be with others who understand, who love, who do not judge but support and encourage. I have it with my family,… Read More

I’ve had a brief chance between the end of school holidays and my trip to QuiltCon next week to start my work year properly, but it was just the warm-up phase for what’s to come over the… Read More
Happy New Year! We’ve just returned from two weeks of holiday visiting all our family in Adelaide, South Australia. It’s our home town, and where 95% of our family lives, so it’s always a great time for us to reconnect with everyone, and especially for our children to play with their cousins. After having lived away from everyone for 4… Read More
It’s been an exciting week of Liberty around these here digs! Last week, I placed my first order online at Liberty London when I read somewhere that they had a new lot of fabrics on super sale (aka 50% off).
