Modern quilt teacher and patterns
I love teaching. Ever since I was a little girl, I wanted to be a teacher. I assumed that would be a primary school teacher, and even studied it at uni, completing both my bachelor and also a graduate certificate. Except then I got married, we started our family, and moved to Japan for a few years. Now that we’re… Read More
Christmas is a beautiful time of the year, full of meaningful traditions and experiences that we share with our families and friends. Advent is one of those traditions celebrated by millions of Christians around the world, whether it be as the start of the liturgical calendar and celebrated from four Sundays before Christmas Day, or as a daily devotional from… Read More
Spending time with fellow quilters (whether we are actually sewing or not!) is one of my most favourite things to do.

Last month, I had the honour of co-hosting a retreat with Caitlin Polden. We first connected through making our Pollinate quilts, and the friendship blossomed from there as we bonded over Lauren Daigle, Christy Nockels, and Handmade Getaway – a beautiful book by Jacqueline Sava Clarke and Karyn Valino – and which was the spark for our idea of hosting… Read More

If you came to read a calm and very professional-sounding write up of how my first class went, well, lower that expectation right now 😉 Yesterday, I started my first quilting class at Amitie Textiles (OMG that’s me under AMH and Carolyn Friedlander!). And despite the bundle of nerves in my tummy in the morning, it was such an amazing experience!… Read More
What some of you may not know about me is that I’m a fully trained and qualified primary school (elementary) teacher. Being a teacher was something I have always remembered wanting to do, so when it came time to decide what to do/study at university, a Bachelor of Education was a no-brainer. However, I fell pregnant before I finished my… Read More
