Modern quilt teacher and patterns
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
UPDATE 2021: Most of these patterns have been discontinued – you can read why here. The cherry blossom block has been renamed to Blossom and you can find it here.

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
Early last year, I was a part of my guild’s Liberty quilting bee. There were six of us, so it ran for six months and each month we made two blocks for the queen, and all our blocks were to be made predominantly with Liberty fabric. Fun! One huge reason I love Liberty fabric is the fussy cutting potential. There… Read More
Sew away into the sunset with the Sunset Isle quilt pattern – a row-of-the-month program designed by me in collaboration with Ava & Neve. Inspired by Fair Isle designs with a dash of south American geometric, Sunset Isle is a beginner-friendly skill builder pattern, with plenty of opportunity for playing with colour with your fabrics! I simply adore geometric quilt… Read More
