Modern quilt teacher and patterns
I am in the glorious midst of spending time with family, which has included successfully teaching my nearly-2yo nephew to say my name – “Eess!” – and a trip to Disneyland yesterday where I took this picture of the quilt-spirational It’s A Small World ride. Why am I sharing this with you? Because if you’re participating in the #myDIYblockdesign challenge… Read More
This month we have a second guest host, because I’m currently enjoying some beautiful family time with visitors! Hey y’all! I’m Joy, Alyce’s guest blogger for Sew Cute Tuesday. I’m regularly blogging at quilty joyjoy about my misadventures in homemaking, quilting, and living with multiple sclerosis. My mama taught me how to make a quilt on an old Singer Featherweight… Read More
Yes, this is another slightly later Sew Cute Tuesday. There’s just so much going on here lately, my blog calendar is filling up fast! Last week I had a blog hop post to share first, and this week it was announcing the My DIY Block Design challenge to coincide with my interview with Pat Sloan! Right, now on to Sew… Read More
Happy Tuesday, lovely people!! Pardon the lateness of this post, but I had quite an important post to share this morning for my beautiful friend’s brand new book, and showing off my latest quilt finish. But I’m here to make it up to you with a giveaway to celebrate the blog hop and quilt! Rita from Fabric Please provided me… Read More
A big shout out to all the fellow northern-hemisphereans who sent their kids back to school last week too – holla to quiet, peaceful days once again! It’s been a wonderful week of returning to routines, and also destashing! Guys, I need to get rid of this Japanese fabric to help start emptying out the house in preparation for our… Read More

Janet has finished her first mini quilt swap, with this gorgeous Cotton + Steel mini quilt! There seems to be a current trend of finishing gorgeous… Read More
Happy Tuesday, folks! We’ve got a typhoon headed our way, so we’re enjoying a sudden drop in summer temperatures, which means it’s fabulous timing for quilting a quilt due at the end of the month. Normally, it’s far too hot and sweaty to be quilting! I’ll be sharing that quilt next month, but here’s a quick Instagram snap of something… Read More
I’ve been doing some peaceful hand stitching this week, a respite from the crazy of summer holidays! I think I’ve just about finished my little Alyce-chanrio, with my big hazel eyes one of my favourite features. Debbie’s All Inclusive quilt is one to drool over for sure! While Rachel’s use of solids in her Sparkler quilt is to die for…. Read More
Welcome to Sew Cute Tuesday – the coolest, funnest quilting and sewing linky party around! If I may say so myself… Well, I’ve barely touched the sewing machine this week, other than finishing off a swap item, because I’ve been practically chained to my desk working on my DIY Block Design ebook!! A “labour of love” is very applicable –… Read More
The Homebase quilt block is a simple block made from a repeating unit, just rotated a quarter turn each time. This is also one of those blocks that also look gorgeous on their own, so it would resize to a pillow size beautifully! My favourite part of this block as a quilt are the unfinished squares around the outside edge!… Read More
