Modern quilt teacher and patterns
This is probably my most favourite quilt to date. I love my original Bright Sky quilt, but there’s something about making this one completely myself from design all the way through to binding, especially the quilting. I will have to share another whole post about all the quilting, because I am so proud of that journey, but for now, I… Read More

I have been slowly working on adding a pattern shop to my actual blog! It was a huge part of my reason for moving to WordPress last year, it just took me a while to get around to setting it up. But set up it is, and you can now purchase all my patterns right here on the blog! When… Read More

Last week, I shared the feather quilt blocks I made for Gina, including this paper pieced feather block.

And while I’m at it, a full paper piecing tutorial to show you just how easy it is. For those who… Read More
I’m conscious of the fact that things have been a bit quiet around here lately other than the weekly Sew Cute Tuesday posts and maybe one other. Two if I’m lucky! Normally a quilt blogger being quiet has turned out to be due to secret sewing for a book or a fabric design deal. Well, nothing at all exciting like… Read More
For each of my patterns, I have a pool of pattern testers working hard to iron out all the wrinkles in the pattern. They certainly earned their keep helping out with improving the math and techniques in this quilt – no half-sqaure or quarter-square triangle piecing makes for a great quilt top and some fine math work. You’ve seen my… Read More
I’m so thrilled to finally share my latest quilt finish – Bright Sky! This quilt has been quite the creative journey, beginning late last year with three catalysts: – my desire to make a big one-block star quilt – my desire to enter the Pantone Quilt Challenge (now open!) – an email asking if a block pattern in Fat Quarterly… Read More
Last year, I put a call out for pattern testers and was overwhelmed by how many of you were interested!! The first pattern to be put to the test was my Fairy Tale Castle block. I just loved seeing how different people interpreted the block in different ways through their choices of fabric! I now have two more patterns currently… Read More
