Modern quilt teacher and patterns
A few weeks ago, I posted about the massive problems facing those of us selling digital products to EU citizens starting January 1st. With Etsy and Craftsy still not forthcoming with any workable solutions and instead leaving the responsibility of collecting, reporting, etc all VAT sales to us sellers, I have had to seek out other alternatives. As I am… Read More
The final task I needed to tick off my sewing list this year was my Disney Quilt Swap mini. My partner didn’t provide loads of information to go on, other than that she’s obsessed with Disney and visits Disneyland every year for Valentines Day. Once I got over the stress/pressure of trying to work out what to make with such… Read More
Way back when I first started mummy blogging, over 5 years ago now, I never foresaw myself ending up on the path I am now. Loving Blogging (capital B to indicate the whole thing, not just writing), loving writing, and loving writing about quilting! But here I am. Blogging regularly, writing for a magazine, and now… I have been a… Read More
Normally, you would be here for Sew Cute Tuesday. But I spent all day glued to the news, watching the news from Sydney siege unfold. This morning, I woke up to the devastating news that two hostages have died, and the hostage-taker himself too. I am heartbroken for the families of all involved, and nervous about the backlashes that have… Read More
Thank you so much for sharing in my Christmas joy and excitement last week! Seeing all your Christmas projects made me so happy! And thanks also for your great response to my mini Christmas stockings tutorial! A week later and the newest addition is still my daughter’s favourite thing on the tree – considering she’s rejected her quilt because it’s… Read More
Three months ago, I was sent my bee block pattern for Jane for her month as Wombat Stew queen… And I finished it on Friday. Um, oops?! I detest being late for anything, especially this late! But I finally did it, and of course it didn’t take that long, and it was so much fun to choose my own colours… Read More
A couple of weeks ago, I needed to buy some more Horizon by Kate Spain to use for Aurora blocks. It coincided with a Shabby Fabrics sales, and as I had been eying off their Violet Elements bundle, I decided it was the perfect time to stock up! I also popped some Dreamin’ Vintage into the cart too, because pretty!… Read More
There is nothing a pattern designer loves more than seeing people actually using your patterns!! I was tagged the other week in Sheila’s stunning feather mini quilt that she made using my free paper pieced feather pattern and tutorial… Isn’t it stunning?! Those saturated colours with the pops of aqua and the wavy quilting as if the feathers were floating…… Read More
This was the first year that both kids have really gotten into decorating the Christmas tree. It was an absolute joy to see them excitedly pull out each decoration from the box and loudly discuss what it was or who had made it or who was in the picture… before piling them all onto the lower right quadrant of the… Read More
It’s the most wonderful time of the year – Christmas!! I just love Christmas. The atmosphere, the lights, the colours, the joy, the celebration of Jesus’ birthday with family and friends, and teaching my kids about the true meaning of Christmas… I just love it all! Our tree went up Sunday night, the Advent calendar has begun… I made this… Read More
