Hello, Sunday Stashers! I’m your hostess with the mostess for this week, while Molli swans around Singapore. It was perfect timing to help, because I recently got a big box of goodies come in. A couple of weeks ago, I found out about a fantastic deal happening. Connecting Threads currently has free shipping to Australia on orders over $75, and… Read More

For the past few years, I’ve had a word for the year, and it’s been a very useful practice for me to do. At the end of the year/start of the next year, I reflect on the year that has been, and think about what I want to do in the coming year. Previously, I’ve had ‘focus’ and ‘create’, both of which… Read More

A couple of weeks ago, I went to my first quilting retreat, which was everything I’d hoped and dreamed for, and more! But when I came back home, after the dramatic ending, “real life” hit hard. I had a couple of deadlines to meet, my kids have had a busy couple of weeks at school, I’ve had meetings and picked… Read More

Or alternatively, “The Hangover Dust Has Settled”. A couple of weeks ago, I went to my first quilting retreat.

And yes, it was just as fun and magical and amazing as people… Read More

If you’re new around here, a quick update to bring you up to speed: My family moved to Chiba, Japan in May 2012 for my husband’s work. He’s a research scientist, and part of being a research… Read More

One of my goals this year, now that we’re back in Australia, is to get some patterns printed and into stores. I’ll be honest – it’s a little scary taking a Big Step like this, but it’s exciting too! As a part of planning to do this, and looking beyond, I did a little bit of research within my Facebook… Read More

I originally sat down to write a short article on this topic for my weekly newsletter, which is where I tend to write more personally about quilting. However, it grew too long to be contained to just an email! So instead, it became a blog post. There have been so many posts and comments already shared and made about QuiltCon,… Read More

Tomorrow night I’m jetting off to Los Angeles for QuiltCon 2016, and I am super excited! I will be spending the next few days with Janice from Better Off Thread, and then go together to QuiltCon. I’m excited at the prospect of LA’s version of “winter”, to get to hang out with quilty peeps, to go shopping in stores that… Read More
