Modern quilt teacher and patterns
I’m loving being a part of a quilting bee this year with some of my closest quilty friends! It’s such a great group, and the queen bees so far have been choosing the most gorgeous blocks and colour palettes. That’s always such a perk, because it’s much more fun when you get to play with pretty fabrics each month! Last… Read More
This year, I’m in a mini quilting bee with 5 other members from my local Modern Quilt Guild. With a Liberty theme! It’s fun to really put my growing Liberty stash to use, and to also use more than a little bit at a time from the pinks (like my mini Milky Way Sampler blocks)! For this bee, there are… Read More
I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Elisabeth for a few years now, and have loooong admired her mad skillz at fussy cutting and incredible piecing, and I’ve even had the fun experience of being in a quilting bee with her. So it was kinda no surprise that when I found out she was writing a book with her friend Nichole… Read More
Last month, I finally bought some of my favourite print from Les Fleurs by Rifle Paper Co for Cotton + Steel and a fat eighth bundle of their latest range, Wonderland. I soon added a few more fat quarters bought at AQC, and that night, started sewing with it all. Unheard of around here, for “just because” fabric purchases to… Read More
It’s taken 8 months, but at last I’ve finished the 100 Blocks 100 Days. All 100 blocks from Tula Pink’s City Sampler book are DONE. And it feels so good! Although, I’m not going to lie, I’m not looking forward to the amount of sashing I need to cut… I made a big push and got the final 11 blocks cut out… Read More
I try to get my mini Milky Way Sampler blocks made by the middle of the month (yes, these ones I sew along each month!), but being away, then gastro, and now a bad cold has put a slight delay onto everything. Thank goodness these guys are so quick and cute to whip up! I’m using up scraps of Liberty and… Read More
No, don’t fall over in shock, I haven’t made any further progress through the 1930s Farmer’s Wife quilt book, I’ve just had this post sitting in my drafts for months and months. This was actually one of the first blocks I ever made from the book! Seriously, this draft has been sitting here since October 2015. Far out! And now, it’s… Read More
It has been thrilling to see so many of you jumping on board with the mini Milky Way Sampler blocks! They’re so much fun at such a little size, and it’s a great way to use up scraps. I’m using up scraps of Liberty and Kona Oyster to make my 4″ (finished) mini Milky Way Sampler blocks, which I do… Read More
Read the title of this blog post once more, aloud… *giggles* Yep, I gathered a bunch of my top-notch quilty buddies to join in this year’s quilting bees sewing from the quilt blocks from The Bee Hive! And it’s a fantastic group of ladies, if our name doesn’t already give that away 😉 In January, I was queen bee and… Read More
Well now, hasn’t Instagram calmed down just a little, with the end of the #100days100blocks, haha! After my last update on my Tula Blue quilt, life got busy, and I had to prioritise a few things. It meant I fell behind a little, but I’ve still made progress, having made another 35 blocks or so, and working with my husband to design… Read More
