Modern quilt teacher and patterns
Last week, I woke up at 5am after a much too late a night for such an early alarm and sat down to chat with Tsoniki for her Me Being Crafty podcast! I was rather nervous, but Tsoniki has very good people skills and quickly put me to ease. One thing she mentioned was liking the behind the scenes stuff… Read More
Happy Tuesday and welcome back to Sew Cute. Here in Alyce-ville, I’m currently in a excited, trying-not-to-freak-out calm mode with only 2 weeks to go until I leave for the US of A and QuiltCon! I’ve quite the list of little and medium projects to get through, both sewing deadlines and blogging ones, so that I have gifts, projects and… Read More
Being an expat, you have this ability to perceive things about your home country in a much more objective way. When you’re removed from the immediate situation, you are able to see things from a perspective you never considered before. I could go on about the cultural and societal aspects of Australia that I love and hate, especially compared to… Read More
Hello busy bees! I’m Kristy from Quiet Play (@quietplay on IG) and I’m delighted to be here with a block design as part of the Bee Hive series.

Welcome back to Sew Cute Tuesday, the funnest quilting linky around! If I may say so myself… I’ve been working on my Schnitzel & Boo Mini quilt this week. I was a couple of days late sending it due to the unexpected amount of emails and admin to do for The Bee Hive, and my Moderator Of Awesomeness Briawna was… Read More
It always fascinates me the different ways people use colour and fabric placement to change the way a quilt block looks! I will regularly be sharing blocks and quilts from the #thebeehivequilts hashtag feed on Instagram that you guys have been sharing so that you can see the different ways people interpret quilts blocks from The Bee Hive. This week,… Read More
Tuesday, Tuesday, gonna get down on Tuesday… welcome back to Sew Cute Tuesday! Around here, it’s been all about The Bee Hive for me! Getting the quilting bees aka swarms up and running, writing about quilting bee etiquette, answering a million emails and comments on social media plus getting the first quilt block tutorial for The Bee Hive series ready… Read More
One of the coolest things that has repeatedly come out with starting The Bee Hive swarms was that this is the first quilting bee for so many of you! You asked the question, “To bee or not to bee*…” and decided that this was definitely the time to bee, and I’m truly honoured and grateful that you have trusted me… Read More
