This month is a book-filled month! First I announce my book, Mini Masterpieces, then I make some blocks from The Seedling Quilts by Jodi Godfrey, and now it’s a Patchwork Picnic kinda day! Patchwork Picnic by Gracey Larson features 30 patchwork blocks that celebrate the outdoors, with instructions for both 6″ and 12″ finished quilt blocks. You can then put… Read More
About two years ago, my dear friend Jodi and I were chatting about writing our quilting books while our kids were mucking around outside in the garden, wondering how we were going to get it all done with families and businesses to take care of too. And now here we are, with our books are about to be released at… Read More
I’m not sure where I last left off sharing my quilting bee blocks for my bee, Miss B Haven, but I’m here today with the blocks from December and January! For December, Alison chose the Treasure Hunt block and asked for scrappy low volume with one strip of a dusty colour per quadrant. We’ve all been drooling over how calm and… Read More
If you’ve been around any length of time, you’ll know that I love me some fussy cutting. It makes quilting projects just that little bit more personalised, added fun to make AND fun to look at too! So I really love it when my quilting bee peeps ask for fussy cutting. Jane added in a bonus challenge – fussy cut… Read More
Another month, and another set of blocks for my quilting bee! This month’s queen is Bec aka @skyberries, and she asked if I could EQ8 up her ideas before committing to her choice for the month. Now Bec makes some AMAZING quilts, and I was so excited to see what she’d choose. Firstly, she chose the Fizzy block. Good start!… Read More
I have shared a few times about how much the quilting community has played an integral part in making me the person I am today. Most importantly, when my family and I were living in Japan, it was the online quilting community that helped me through the tricky days of culture shock – an English-speaking people who understood how my… Read More
This month’s queen bee for my Miss B Haven quilting bee asked for the Checker block in a riot of large florals. Caroline aka Geometriquilt is not known for her floral tastes, so it was a (fun!) shock to us all! I must say, I don’t have many large multi-coloured florals, but I only needed four. The magic of the… Read More
Every month, I receive beautiful bundles of Liberty from Ava & Neve, and lately, they’ve taken a gorgeous turn for the better. Each bundle is now beautifully curated to create a mini kit of sorts! They’re fresh, modern, stunning… Nothing granny about these Liberty Society bundles! Last month was this rich, moody bundle of navy, mustard and teal. This month, we’re… Read More
I’ve been a busy bee over the past couple of months still, with both my Miss B Haven bee and my guild’s Liberty bee. Both bees are very different, so that means it’s been staying interesting and fun each month when it’s time to make the blocks! I last shared blocks in June, which means that it’s time to share… Read More
What would be a Christmas In July bundle of sewing and quilting patterns without some Christmas trees! Thankfully, you’ve got a few options to choose from in this year’s bundle. I couldn’t help but make two of them. First up is this one by Keera from Live Love Sew. It’s such a nice and quick block to whip up, and with the… Read More
