Modern quilt teacher and patterns
You know those moments where you try something new and challenging and then it works and you just want to squeal and shimmy in glee? This English paper pieced Liberty mini quilt is one such moment. Me, English paper piecing, what?! Mercifully, I decided to tackle it again by choosing to use my rapidly growing Liberty stash, because this luscious fabric is a… Read More
Whew, it has been a busy month of making quilts for the family! This is the third and last one for my family that I’ve made over the past few weeks… When I was considering whether to make the Summer Breeze quilt pattern or not, what pushed me into saying yes was that I could use the leftover pieces to… Read More
I’m so excited to finally reveal this quilt! It’s been something I’ve been sharing along the way on Instagram, and at last, it’s finished and ready to share. Although I was given a crash lesson in Melbourne weather, and I had to resort to a quick photo right before it got packed and taken to the airport to get hand-delivered… Read More
Do you ever have moments where all the quilty stars align and everything falls into place so neatly? This quilt was one such moment. You see, last year for Christmas, I gave my parents a quilt. Well, technically, the promise of a quilt by this Christmas. And technically, two quilts. I could either make one biiiig quilt for their bed,… Read More
I’m so excited to share this quilt with you! It is my first quilt started and finished in Australia (and also my first blog post from our new home!), and if you follow me on Instagram – @blossomheartquilts – then you’ll have seen that I got to use my brand new iron and ironing board to make the binding for… Read More
When I saw Kristy mention that she’d signed up for the May the 4th Mini Quilt Swap, I jumped onto the computer that very minute and signed up myself. The fact that I was moving countries in the middle of it all? Who cares! I needed to get in on this business! The result? My partner, Amber (aka @_amber_simmons), likes… Read More
Do you have the serendipitous occasion where you need to make a new baby quilt, and the perfect quilt pattern crosses your path? That’s exactly what happened here – Christa asked me to join her blog hop to celebrate Machine Quilting With Style and make Pearl Gray, right when I needed to make a quilt for my sister’s new baby….

For my second entry to the Blogger’s Quilt Festival, I’m entering my Happy Star mini quilt. I made the Happy Star mini quilt for the last Schnitzel & Boo mini quilt swap on Instagram for @happypigeon – whom I even got to meet at QuiltCon! – and was inspired by a photo she shared on her Instagram during the swap:… Read More
This quilt was one that I finished JUST after the last festival – just too late to enter it then! And then I nearly forgot to enter it this time around, but thankfully there’s still a couple of days left to enter before voting opens! I used a fat eighth bundle of Sunnyside by Kate Spain to make this quilt… Read More
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
