Modern quilt teacher and patterns
When your quilty boyfriend celebrates a huge milestone, you join in the party, because you know this guy can par-tay! Sunday Stash is celebrating #200 at Molli Sparkles, and as I have a few new pieces I can share, I’ll jump on that bandwagon. First up, a different kind of stash… well, it’s still super useful and pretty and 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
I’ve never been the kind of quilter who just plows through one project at a time and churning out finishes – I’m always dabbling here and there… the pile of WIPs can attest to that! Likewise, I’m not the kind of blogger who shares regular lists of WIPs, which means sometimes I look back and feel like I haven’t been… Read More
I was so excited to finally join in the Schnitzel & Boo mini quilt swap! I shared a little bit about my process before, but now that the quilt is finished and received, I can share it all! My partner, Alyssa aka @happypigeon, was great to stalk. I loved what she shared of her work and spent days, no, weeks!… Read More
Late last year, I managed to find out about the Disney Mini Quilt Swap just in time to sign up! I had shared a bit about my plans a couple of months ago, and in the end, decided to go with my Fairy Tale Castle pattern. I had planned on making it as Cinderella’s castle, like at DisneyLand, until I… Read More
The final task I needed to tick off my sewing list this year was my Disney Quilt Swap mini. My partner didn’t provide loads of information to go on, other than that she’s obsessed with Disney and visits Disneyland every year for Valentines Day. Once I got over the stress/pressure of trying to work out what to make with such… Read More
Please excuse me today with some super sweet Disney magic dribbling… I signed up for the Disney Quilt Swap 2015 on the last day, and made it in! Since moving to Chiba/Tokyo, and having now gone to Tokyo Disneyland and Sea several times, I’ve finally understood the magic of Disney. I didn’t watch many Disney movies growing up, I KNOW,… Read More
Most of you will know of my long and deep love for Kate’s designs – the colours are just perfection and the designs… Let’s just say that if we were in America, I’d have a rug and stationery and cupcake liners and… Thankfully I have some American friends who have sent me some of her gorgeous stationery!! For a long time… Read More
I seriously love this swap. Like, seriously. This time, I had Jenny as my partner, and we had fun challenging each other to think beyond your standard small zippered pouch because we both had plenty of those. So I decided this was the time to learn how to make a lined drawstring bag! Jenny said her favourite candy flavours were… Read More
Oh yes, nothing like the last minute to get a swap item done! As I said on Instagram yesterday, blame it on the boogie, literally! We’ve emerged from the fog of flu and now I’m in catch up mode for pretty much everything. So if you’ve been waiting for an email or anything, know that it’s on my very long… Read More
