Modern quilt teacher and patterns
On the last Friday of each month, I want to take the time to share what YOU guys have been creating using one of the many tutorials on Blossom Heart Quilts, or one of my patterns, and even my book too! I’ll be sourcing them from Instagram, checking out these hashtags to find them: #aurorabom – to see those sewing… Read More
Hi, I’m Debbie from The Quilt Journal and this week I’m hosting Sew Cute Tuesday! I had a few finishes , but I thought this table runner in Asian fabric was appropriate in light of Alyce moving home to Australia after her time in Japan. This table runner pattern is an oldie but goody. It is the Braid Runner “quilt… Read More

I am now one-third of the way through the 1930’s Farmer’s Wife Sampler Quilt! I’ve made 34 blocks and that’s definitely a milestone worth celebrating by sharing a (very) cobbled together image of what my overall quilt is shaping up to look like. It feels slightly traitorous to Kate Spain to admit that I’m actually going to be using this… Read More
Today’s blocks are an odd assortment from December and January – two made in an attempt to catch up, and one because I just really wanted to make a block and it was one of the simpler options from January to “whip” up! I say “whip” with air quotes because it turned out to be a bit tricky, but I’ll… Read More

Either way, I am most definitely having fun and loving the LA “winter”, and documenting it on Instagram when… Read More

I’m excited at the prospect of LA’s version of “winter”, to get to hang out with quilty peeps, to go shopping in stores that… Read More
OOPS! I totally forgot to do a special theme for last week!! Let’s do it this week instead… As for me and this past week, I’ve been caring for a sick little boy for a couple of days last week, and also been busy prepping for leaving for QuiltCon on Saturday (whaaat?! That’s so soon!), but I have managed to… Read More

If you need more information, you can find out more about: The QAL and fabric requirements Required and recommended… Read More
Today there’s a couple of blocks that I forgot to share! With all my organising and packing and destashing, a couple of blocks got lost in the mix. Not literally lost, nothing that dramatic! Just that my usual workflow from making the blocks to blogging them got interrupted and Cat and Mrs Morgan almost never made it to the blogging… Read More
