Modern quilt teacher and patterns
This week I’ve been making a bit more planner-related goodies, with my second attempt at making a Traveller’s Notebook cover aka fauxdori. And guys, I am in LOVE with this one! Just LOOK at the amazing linen-blend Japanese fabric!! It was a random find and I couldn’t help but use it on the outside AND inside… I (very loosely) used… Read More
Hi, I’m Anne from Play Crafts! First of all, many thanks to Alyce for being so understanding and allowing me to delay for a bit on my block until after I finished moving! Today I will be sharing with you a fun block I call the Fizzy Block because it reminds me of a fizzy drink with bubbles and sparkles… Read More
When the Fat Quarter Shop announced their new Aurifil thread club, I pounced fast! Each month, you get 4 small spools (220 yards) in 50w, and these are the first three months from the outside in. As an international purchaser, it works out to be about $6 per spool, which is a great price to build up a stash of… Read More
20/07 UPDATE: As the organiser of the Yokohama quilt show, Patchwork Tsushin, has gone out of business in June 2015, it would suggest that the Yokohama show is not happening this year. I will keep this post updated when I find out myself! It seems to be about the time of year that people start planning trips to the Tokyo… Read More
Hey guys, I’m back! Thank you so much for your messages of love and support over the past week. I spent most of last week on the sofa, and slowly resumed normal activity over the weekend. Including making a prototype for the next round of the #makeyourplannercuterswap – trying out interfacing and constructions methods to make a fabric “fauxdori” notebook… Read More
Hey guys, I’ve come down with a virus or something that has knocked me hard and means I’m on the sofa indulging my binging-obsession with Pretty Little Liars (no spoilers please!) for a few days. So please excuse any radio silence around the place this week. Hopefully see you all very soon!
We’re now halfway through The Bee Hive! And we’re starting to see some finished quilts and quilt tops come through, which is pretty exciting! Violet has made this stunning Wanta Fanta quilt top Christy made a Christmas-themed Tic Tac Toe quilt with her swarm. @greatbritten66 has finished her Wanta Fanta quilt and is currently quilting it. Ann added some dashing… Read More
I’ve never been the kind of quilter who just plows through one project at a time and churning out finishes – I’m always dabbling here and there… the pile of WIPs can attest to that! Likewise, I’m not the kind of blogger who shares regular lists of WIPs, which means sometimes I look back and feel like I haven’t been… Read More
Hey guys, welcome back to Sew Cute Tuesday! It’s been a busy week of birthdays and computer work for me, like launching my HST math chart printables… Meanwhile, Francine made this beautiful improv rainbow quilt! I love the fabrics Kate used to make her block! And wow, Terri Ann! What a gorgeous finish! Now let’s link up your latest sewing… Read More
Back in January, Angie from Gnome Angel contacted me asking about setting up a quilting bee to sew along with the tutorials from The Bee Hive. It was something I had been thinking about, but she happily took over and organised it all. We had been thinking that there may be 3 groups – an Aussie one, a US one… Read More
