Modern quilt teacher and patterns
Have you ever wanted to join a quilting bee? Now’s your chance! If you don’t know what a quilting bee is, well, let me quickly help you with that. ***SIGN UPS ARE CLOSED FOR THIS YEAR*** A quilting bee is a group of 12 quilters who take turns to be Queen Bee every month. As Queen Bee, you get to choose… Read More
The pattern for the second quilt block for the Stellar BOM is now out! This one is a fun, basic sawtooth star quilt block, and is open for plenty of fun opportunities. My version continues my monochromatic scrappy prints and solids combo. Download the pattern from AccuQuilt Australia here But you could quite easily fussy cut something for that centre square,… Read More
Hands up who else is feeling the rapid increase of time lately?! And no, I’m not talking about the new season of Doctor Who starting (although, how awesome was that first episode?! I’m excited about where this season is heading!). Which is why I’m secretly a little chuffed that I’ve already sewn up this month’s blocks for the Aurora BOM…. Read More
I’ve started off strong making my newest Aurora BOM quilt! In fact, I’ve got all my background pieces already cut thanks to #designerprerogative and my handy dandy AccuQuilt – there’s a lot of squares to cut! But I’m mostly cutting the prints as I go each month, so that I can get a good mix of prints/the right colour thing… Read More
It’s time that I finally get to start sharing the new AccuQuilt BOM! Over the next 12 months, we’re making some space-inspired blocks. Now, I’m famous for loving a good star quilt block… And yes, I am definitely a big fan of star quilt blocks, but this time, I decided to step outside the comfort zone and make a space-inspired… Read More
When I sat down with my tubs of fabric last week to starting pulling fabrics for my own Aurora BOM quilt, I sat there feeling a little uninspired. Although, to be honest, I think it was that I was wanting to step out of my blender/tone-on-tone comfort zone within my rainbow colour plan. And my stash just does not have… Read More
It’s no secret I love a good sampler quilt – something new and different for each block you sew! And with my AccuQuilt Qubes, it makes it even easier to sew up different sampler quilts in 2 different sizes – I made my Patisserie BOM quilt from 8″ blocks AND 6″ blocks, and set them both very differently for the… Read More
I am a topper. A serial quilt topper. You see, once a quilt top has come together, my vision for the quilt design is complete in my eyes! Nevermind the fact that quilt isn’t ACTUALLY complete yet. This is no more evident than in the the timeline of my quilt alongs on this blog, and how long it takes me… 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
Earlier this year, as I was assessing what quilty goals I’d like to achieve over 2018, I realised that I wanted to pick up my Spanish Farmer quilt project again. I accepted the fact that I was well and truly over the 1930s Farmer’s Wife book, and decided to instead make up the rest of the block count with other… Read More
