Modern quilt teacher and patterns
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
For the next year, the team at Blessington, the Australian distributors for Pfaff, AccuQuilt, Singer, Husqvarna Viking, and Handiquilter, are supporting the McGrath Foundation. As October is also Breast Cancer Awareness month, they asked the brand ambassadors to come up with a pink project to share as a tutorial, with the aim that you guys would consider making one to donate… Read More
It’s certainly been the year for Aussie quilt designers and their books! It’s such a thrill to see my friends succeed, and I know that there’s more to come. We’re too talented a bunch here Down Under to stop us 😉 Today, I’m excited to share more about one in particular – Fussy Cutters Club: A Boot Camp for Mastering… Read More

That’s what inspired block 2 of the Patisserie BOM, with the oblong shape and the yellow solids selected, and you can now go download the pattern yourself from the AccuQuilt Australia blog….

As an unashamed lover of sampler quilts and block of the month programs, it should come as no surprise that it’s a block of the month quilt along that I’ve created in partnership with AccuQuilt. I’m so excited to share it with you! I love the GO! Qubes that AccuQuilt have – all the basic shapes regularly used in quilt… Read More
Last week, my family went for a road trip holiday. It was such an awesome time of visiting quilty friends and having some quality family time together. And we don’t even mind the driving (especially as we load up the iPad with movies, thanks to Netflix’s download option!). My husband does most of the driving, as he gets car sick… Read More
Lately I’ve been having a bit of a love affair with the humble economy block. They’re fun to fussy cut, quick to piece, and look pretty darn adorable! These little blocks are 4″ finished (4 1/2″ unfinished) and perfectly frame the fussy cut square in the middle. I went for a 4″ finished (4.5″ unfinished) block as it allowed me… Read More
When Lauren from Molly And Mama messaged me and asked if I’d like to make her Hettie Hexie Mini pattern, I won’t lie, I kinda stared wide-eyed at the cover showing a whole lotta English paper pieced hexies… and then said yes.
