Modern quilt teacher and patterns
I have something to confess, which will mean more to the Aussies than others… I had never been to Sydney until last week. I’ve passed through the airport twice, but that soooo doesn’t count. But at last, I remedied that when my husband whisked me away for the night. He had a one day meeting there, we had my cousin… Read More
What a great week this is shaping up to be, because we’re starting it off with the next Making Merry pattern! Poinsettia is a sweet flower-esque block using four different prints to highlight the different shapes formed by the half-square triangles. This time, Poinsettia includes instructions for setting your block on point. The finished block sizes are the same as always – 6″,… Read More
When I agreed to help sew and blog along with the Farmer’s Wife 1930 Quilt Along, aka The Project That Shall Not Be Named ahem, one of the bonus perks that came out of it was receiving the From Marti Michell templates that would help make the blocks. So when Angie suggested the Marti Michell Mini Quilt Mania, of course I had… Read More
We are now a third of the way through the Tula Pink City Sampler quilt along on Instagram! It’s been so much fun making this quilt, and last week I laid out all the blocks I’d sewn so far and I’m thrilled with how it’s coming along. I’m needing to have another big sit-and-cut session so that I can have another… Read More

Start with this one or go back to the beginning, it’s up to you. This year, we’re making 24 modern half-square triangle quilt blocks, and by the end of the year, you… Read More
Whew, it has been a busy month of making quilts for the family! This is the third and last one for my family that I’ve made over the past few weeks… When I was considering whether to make the Summer Breeze quilt pattern or not, what pushed me into saying yes was that I could use the leftover pieces to… Read More
This year has been full of firsts for me, and this month, that has included sewing a quilt using a quilt panel. But not just any quilt panel, and not a licensed character in sight 😉 The quilt tops from Pattern Jam are essentially just a giant quilt panel, and while finishing them off as quilts includes most of the… Read More
Wowww, wasn’t that a crazy linky?! What with Instagram and inLinkz stopping working halfway through for some reason, and then I had set the finishing date wrong (or more accurately, forgot to extend the default end date!). But thanks so much for bearing with me through it all! Between those that did link up, and those that emailed, and then… Read More
I’m so excited to finally reveal this quilt! It’s been something I’ve been sharing along the way on Instagram, and at last, it’s finished and ready to share. Although I was given a crash lesson in Melbourne weather, and I had to resort to a quick photo right before it got packed and taken to the airport to get hand-delivered… Read More
I shared a while ago about my partnering up with Pattern Jam to offer quilting top designs by me. Pattern Jam is an amazing website that offers quilt design software, and now also customisable quilt top designs that are then sent to you as a digitally-printed panel of fabric. I have several quilt top designs on offer at Pattern Jam…. Read More
