Modern quilt teacher and patterns
UPDATE 2021: This pattern has since been renamed Blossom, you can read why here. However, I have left this post as-is so as to not erase my mistakes but to show how you can change and grow as a person. For quite a few years now, I’ve wanted to design a cherry blossom quilt block. While we were living in… Read More
There’s something that’s been on my heart for a few months now, and I’ve been struggling with it. Community. Real community. Soul-filling, life-giving community. It is something that we all innately crave, whether we realise it or not. To be with others who understand, who love, who do not judge but support and encourage. I have it with my family,… Read More
Amazon has a great new program that allows “influencers” (aka those who have a social media presence) to curate their own Amazon shop of sorts, filled with personal product recommendations. What better way to easily share the tools and notions that I highly recommend?! I’ve had fun filling my Amazon shop with items – notions, tools, books, yay! Everything… Read More
This month’s queen bee for my Miss B Haven quilting bee asked for the Checker block in a riot of large florals. Caroline aka Geometriquilt is not known for her floral tastes, so it was a (fun!) shock to us all! I must say, I don’t have many large multi-coloured florals, but I only needed four. The magic of the… 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
Do you label your quilts? Early in November, for some random reason I can’t recall, I had read this post by Jeni from In Color Order about her adorable little labels, and had been thinking that something like that would be much better for this lazy quilt labeller. I’m shocking at remembering to do it, unless I actually have to… 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
Well, here we are in month 3 of the Year Of Finishing, and I’ve successfully finished off two UFOs (yes, I still need to photograph my finished Modern HST Sampler… this weekend!). Can I make it 3 in a row?! This month, I’ve got a liiittle more space than the past two months, so I’ve decided to finish off a… Read More
When it’s your turn as queen bee in a quilting bee, choosing what quilt block design and what colours to use can be a difficult decision to make! It can be a slow process doing it by hand, especially if you want to test out other colour options. Last year, I chose the Treasure Hunt quilt block for my month as… Read More
Life tends to go through phases, doesn’t it? Sometimes it’s smooth and calm, and other times, it’s hectic and one thing after another! I’ve had a brief chance between the end of school holidays and my trip to QuiltCon next week to start my work year properly, but it was just the warm-up phase for what’s to come over the… Read More
