Modern quilt teacher and patterns
This year has started off with a bang, with a few exciting bits of news to share with you guys. Last month, I was interviewed by Stephanie for the Modern Sewciety podcast! Well actually, it was recorded in November, but it was published last month. You can listen on iTunes, Android, or online. This month, you can also find my… Read More
This week has been busy with the Tokyo quilt show and catching up with visiting quilty friends! It’s been lovely, and has been a great warm up to heading to QuiltCon and getting loads of quality quilty time with friends. I’ve also been working on lots of HSTs, sewing up some more blocks for the Modern HST Sampler QAL. These… Read More
Earlier this week, I shared about the quilts and my general time at the 2016 Tokyo International Quilt Festival, and now it’s time to talk about what I bought! Yes, in case you were confused, I did just destash half my stash ahead of moving overseas… I’m mostly stocking up now on some bits and pieces that are much more… Read More
It’s such a corny cliche to say, but when you’re a quilt designer, seeing all the different interpretations and ways people make your patterns is SUCH a thrill. Seriously, it is! So on the last Friday of each month, I want to take the time to share what YOU guys have been creating using my tutorials or patterns. I’ll be… Read More
Ah, Tokyo International Quilt Festival, you never fail to inspire me with your quilts, and overwhelm me with your crowds. Quilt? What quilt? Yes, it’s been that time of the year again, where I take a deep breath and dive into the crowds that fill the Tokyo Dome, all in pursuit of fabric shopping and quilt admiring. As usual, the… Read More
Hello, Sew Cute Tuesdayers! It seems like half of us are freezing, and most of you who are freezing, are also covered in snow. And I’m not. Hmph, Japan weather, why did you let me down on the weekend?! If you gonna be this cold, why not snow too?! Anyhoo, these frozen fingers struggle to sew in this weather, that… Read More

If you need more information, you can find out more about: The QAL and fabric requirements Required and recommended… Read More
No, that’s not an attention-grabbing click bait headline, it’s the truth. I have seriously gotten rid of at least 1/3 of my fabric stash, plus most of my notions/patterns/STUFF that also accumulates. You can see in this room tour video what it looked like late last year, all tidied and organised, and already a little bit destashed, but barely anything…. Read More
I rang in the New Year by doing an epic sort and clean out of my sewing room. When you move countries with pretty much only checked in baggage, every gram counts… and so far, the tally of what has been culled is over 11.4kgs. And that’s just what’s good enough to sell or giveaway, so the trash bag is… Read More
Hello all! This is Alison from Little Bunny Quilts guest hosting Sew Cute Tuesday! I’ve been quilting for just about 13 years, but I became more “devoted” to quilting my first year of graduate school living alone — just me, Netflix, and the sewing machine! I’ll also have my 5 year blog-iversary this August! Lately it seems like I have… Read More
