Modern quilt teacher and patterns
It’s an Aurifil-ed month around here, that’s for sure. Not only has my Mini Masterpieces thread collection launched, and I was interviewed about all things Mini Masterpieces on the Aurifil blog earlier this week, but today you can find me over on Auribuzz again as the Aurifil Designer of the Month! This year’s theme for their BOM sew along is… Read More
That’s right, after 5 years and 29 issues of writing the Maths & Methods column for Make Modern, that series has been retired. Can you believe that we found 29 different quilty math topics to cover?! I can’t, ha! If you’d love to have all 29 articles for future reference (plus 200+ modern quilt patterns, 40+ mini quilt patterns, 30+ cushions, 50+ other… Read More
Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of playing with Pat Bravo’s latest line for Art Gallery Fabrics – Matchmade. With some added snippets of Pat’s other range, Legendary, and some Sun Kissed by Maureen Cracknell, I paired the prints with Pure Elements Snow to create a jewel-toned modern flower quilt pattern that’s now out in Love Patchwork & Quilting… Read More
Earlier this month, I locked myself in my bedroom with my laptop and headphones right before I had to do the school drop off. Not my usual morning routine, but this was for a special reason… I was recording an interview with Pat Sloan for her podcast! I’ve actually chatted with her before on her podcast 4 years ago when… Read More
Today is International Women’s Day, and what better way to celebrate it than by reading the latest issue of Make Modern – a digital magazine run by three kickass, Aussie women?! When I grow up, I’d love to have the incredible passion and persistence that Lara, Kristy and Jane have demonstrated in starting and running this magazine! Three women spread… Read More

Inside issue 26, you can find my regular Maths & Methods article, this time talking all about fat quarters, what you can squeeze from them, and how we all love a fat quarter friendly quilt pattern, like Geode. You can also find an interview with me all about how I set up… 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
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
