Over the past year or so, I’ve had the privilege of (very slowly!) sewing along with The Farmer’s Wife 1930s quilt along as an official blogger.

This woman is everywhere and… Read More

Two of the biggest items on that list of things to do once we’d moved back to Australia was to teach quilting classes (TICK) and get my patterns printed (TICK). And it turns out that… Read More
Sometimes, there’s a project that you’re excited to see come to life, and this is one of those projects! I’ve been so excited to get to making this pattern, knowing that I was going to make the big size of this one: a 36″ big block baby quilt. And what is this one?
