Modern quilt teacher and patterns
It’s been a bit of an exciting week for my stash… It started with Mendocino arriving the morning my husband returned to Japan for 10 weeks. I grabbed a few yards from Gotham Quilts when they had a sale on it a couple of weeks ago, and it was a perfect little happy-squeal moment on an otherwise sad morning. The… Read More
My name is Kelly and you can usually find me over at A place of my own. Today though I am taking a little break from my home on the South Coast of the UK and helping Alyce with hosting Sew Cute Tuesday while she is in the process of moving home. I saw an Instagram picture of her packing… Read More

Hello from the other siiiiiide… of the equator! Granted this has been pre-scheduled, however hopefully at the time this has gone up, we will have just left the Cairns airport (and not held up in customs with our bags and bags and bags of luggage!). For folks who are new here from Molli Sparkles’ blog, welcome! Just last night, I… Read More
As I’ve alluded to in some of my newsletters, things are going to start changing around here in light of our move to Australia. Changing for the better! And to do so, that means some of my patterns are being retired. Why retire patterns? Well, part of my new direction means that most of my patterns would need a bit of… Read More
