Modern quilt teacher and patterns
It’s time that I finally get to start sharing the new AccuQuilt BOM! Over the next 12 months, we’re making some space-inspired blocks. Now, I’m famous for loving a good star quilt block… And yes, I am definitely a big fan of star quilt blocks, but this time, I decided to step outside the comfort zone and make a space-inspired… Read More
While I was teaching my Aurora BOM sampler quilt last year, I started another version myself using my pile of Alison Glass fabrics. It was a bit of a challenge, trying to make limited fat eighths and fat quarters work, but with a couple of small purchases and a little extra yardage for the scrappy low volume background, I did… Read More
I am a topper. A serial quilt topper. You see, once a quilt top has come together, my vision for the quilt design is complete in my eyes! Nevermind the fact that quilt isn’t ACTUALLY complete yet. This is no more evident than in the the timeline of my quilt alongs on this blog, and how long it takes me… Read More
UPDATE 2021: This pattern has since been renamed Blossom, you can read why here. However, I have left this post as-is so as to not erase my mistakes but to show how you can change and grow as a person. For quite a few years now, I’ve wanted to design a cherry blossom quilt block. While we were living in… Read More
Rather than spread all the latest news and updates over a few blog posts, I thought I’d collate it all into one blog post. My Beribboned cushion pattern came out in Down Under Quilts last month. I made one a touch more Christmassy by using some of Alison Glass’ Handcrafted batiks, and the other I made with a small fat… Read More
Today is the day to buy yourself a creative gift! Remember how I shared with you last week the story of how this multi-crafter became relatively monogamous with quilting? That was because, today, the Handmade With Love super bundle is now available for purchase. The Bundle contains a whole bunch of handcrafting projects. Over 200, in fact! Which is pretty… Read More
There’s something pretty big and exciting happening very soon, and to celebrate, there’s a massive pre-party happening! You won’t want to miss out on this one, but first, let me tell you a tale of my creative journey… As a kid, I was always creating. Whether it was creating a colourful butterfly design out of wooden blocks, hoarding cardboard boxes… Read More
My husband has been prompting me for a while to try out some of my quilting designs onto other products, like notebooks or cards. It took me a while, but last week I finally sat down and had a play. I tried a few different designs – new and existing – and ordered some products to test out their quality…. Read More
Oh Alyce, back at it with the HSTs… I’m sorry, I just have a bit of a love affair for the shapes that they create! This time, creating a Wreath mini quilt (and not ‘wrath’ as I keep typing, ha!) for issue 53 of Love Patchwork & Quilting – their Christmas issue. I used a range of scraps in grassy… Read More
It’s always such a happy day when a beloved quilt gets returned to you! Even if I was away and had to wait a few days until I got back home to unwrap and snuggle it once more… Directional is the kind of quilt that I love to make. It starts with a sudden idea of a quilt block, becomes… Read More
