Modern quilt teacher and patterns
This quilt was one that I finished JUST after the last festival – just too late to enter it then! And then I nearly forgot to enter it this time around, but thankfully there’s still a couple of days left to enter before voting opens! I used a fat eighth bundle of Sunnyside by Kate Spain to make this quilt… Read More

Hi everyone, it’s Angie from GnomeAngel.com and it’s my great pleasure and delight to reveal the 12″ finished quilt block I designed for The Bee Hive: Ripples. (That’s ripple, not nipples as some of us are prone to read it! Filth pots!) This pattern works well in all solids, only 2 colours, scrappy or with a little mix of everything…. Read More

Hello May! Hello beautiful spring weather of warm, sunny days and cool breezes! This kind of weather really invigorates and motivates me to be productive. Not spring cleaning though, HA! This week is Mother’s Day for many countries, and my kids are already whispering that, “There’s a surprise for you, but shh, don’t say anything!”… ok, I won’t! And it’s… Read More
The first block for May is a fun little guy, that offers two layout options, similar to the Star Plus block! This is a paper pieced block, and uses four 6″ quadrants to make up the 12″ finished block. This is a simple block to piece – only one section repeated 4 times. What you need 4 copies of the… Read More
There’s one thing that isn’t too much of a secret around here: I’m a bit of a nerd. If loving quilt math wasn’t enough, I love some of the classic things like Star Trek and high school chemistry, and some of the more modern things like marrying a scientist with a PhD (proud wife moment), the new Star Trek movies… Read More
