Modern quilt teacher and patterns
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
The latest installment of my AccuQuilt block of the month, Patisserie, is up on the AccuQuilt Australia blog! Month 10’s block is a sweet little diamond shaped dessert. As always, the fabrics are from the Solids Club provided by Jules at The Creative Retreat, with Kona Ash for the background. Grab the pattern for block 10 here! The 6″ Qube version was made a few… Read More
If you’ve been following along with the AccuQuilt Australia blog then you’ll be fully up to date on your Patisserie blocks! Month 8 saw another diagonal block. Possibly an eclair? Probably a danish. As always, the fabrics are from the Solids Club provided by Jules at The Creative Retreat, with Kona Ash for the background. Grab the pattern for block 8 here! The 6″ Qube version… Read More
Another month, another play with my quilting bee queens’ blocks! This month, Rebecca aka @oneweebird chose the Star Plus block. She asked for predominantly black prints for the stars, and bright citrusy prints for the plus (for which she shared a cactus print to inspire our choices), with black and white for the plus background and a solid for the… Read More
Today is the start of AQC (the Australasian Quilt Convention), and I’ll be working there with AccuQuilt! I love working with brands in the quilting industry, and the team at Blessington (who distribute Pfaff and AccuQuilt) are absolutely fantastic to work with. And part of the fun has been sharing a block of the month sampler quilt on the AccuQuilt… Read More
In all the busy-ness of summer holidays and preparing for QuiltCon, I forgot to share the past three blocks from the Patisserie Block Of the Month that I’m designing with AccuQuilt Australia! Bad blogger! But if you follow along with the AccuQuilt Australia blog, you won’t have missed them 😉 Block 5 were both blue this time. The 8″ Qube version… Read More
While this post may be in March, I do solemnly swear that my Modern HST Sampler quilt was finished during February. Before I left for QuiltCon, no less! Although, in total disclosing honesty, it was a little bit of a rushed binding job #keepingitreal While I popped outside to get a few shots of this half-square triangle quilt, a neighbour… Read More
Dude, there’s nothing like smashing out a goal to motivate you to do more! This month, I’m off to QuiltCon for a week, so I’m taking another more realistic goal of finishing off my Modern HST Sampler quilt. This top was finished in January last year, and after having been sent to a longarmer, also just needs binding. And as… Read More
There is nothing more invigorating than finishing a quilt! Well, actually, there is… finishing a quilt that has been waiting for 21 months for binding! Yes, that is how long it has been since I got this sampler quilt back from the longarmer (you can see the quilting better in this post). April 2016. But now, I have fully finished… Read More
As I mentioned last week, one of my main personal goals is to finish 12 UFOs (unfinished objects) this year – one per month. The main reason why is to remove the emotional, mental, and physical clutter that’s caused by having these projects lying around. And one per month is totally doable! To start with, I sat down and listed… Read More
