Modern quilt teacher and patterns
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
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
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
While I was teaching my Aurora BOM sampler quilt last year, I started another version myself using my pile of Alison Glass fabrics. It was a bit of a challenge, trying to make limited fat eighths and fat quarters work, but with a couple of small purchases and a little extra yardage for the scrappy low volume background, I did… Read More

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
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
The suggestions for what flavour a blue donut would be were almost unanimously blueberry! So how about a green one? I’m thinking possibly apple. And would teal/aqua be any different from bright green? Grab the pattern for block 4 here! What I love about this block is that it uses the square on point die, meaning that there’s not trimming… Read More
Hmm, I’m not exactly sure what flavour a blue donut would be… blueberry? Blue Heaven? Fairy floss? Let me know what you think what flavour this block would be in the comments! In fact, talking of donuts, AccuQuilt Australia recently shared a delicious felt donut pillow tutorial. So cute! But anyway, you can now go download the pattern yourself from… Read More
