Modern quilt teacher and patterns
Last week, my family went for a road trip holiday. It was such an awesome time of visiting quilty friends and having some quality family time together. And we don’t even mind the driving (especially as we load up the iPad with movies, thanks to Netflix’s download option!). My husband does most of the driving, as he gets car sick… Read More
Sometimes opportunities come along when working with sponsors to get involved in a really cool project… For aaages I’ve loved the patterns they’ve been making in collaborationg with Art Gallery Fabrics – AGF Stitched – so I was really excited when they asked if I’d like to make their newest quilt pattern, Symphony. I had been lusting after Charleston by Amy Sinibaldi… Read More
What would be a Christmas In July bundle of sewing and quilting patterns without some Christmas trees! Thankfully, you’ve got a few options to choose from in this year’s bundle.

Gushing aside (as I’m sure there’ll be more to come with the next issue… Read More

I’m loving being a part of a quilting bee this year with some of my closest quilty friends! It’s such a great group, and the queen bees so far have been choosing the most gorgeous blocks and colour palettes. That’s always such a perk, because it’s much more fun when you get to play with pretty fabrics each month! Last… Read More
It’s time for another quick round up of some of the gorgeous Blossom Heart Quilts pattern and tutorial makes popping up on Instagram! There were some fabulous projects in May (and this month is also full of beauties!), so let’s get started. #thebeehivequilts This riotous Wanta Fanta block was made by @dlluscombe for her bee’s May queen. I think this green… Read More
