Modern quilt teacher and patterns
I was so excited to finally join in the Schnitzel & Boo mini quilt swap! I shared a little bit about my process before, but now that the quilt is finished and received, I can share it all! My partner, Alyssa aka @happypigeon, was great to stalk. I loved what she shared of her work and spent days, no, weeks!… Read More
Holy February-already, Sew Cute-ers! Is it too early to complain about how fast this year is going already? Well, if not, consider yourself complained to. If yes, then I’m sorry, but I’m not ready for this year to whiz past! Although clicking my fingers and making my to-do list ticked off and make it next Wednesday already would be kinda… Read More
Seeing you all on Instagram sharing your blocks and scrolling through #thebeehivequilts is a highlight of my day! 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, you guys have… Read More
I originally hadn’t planned on going to the show this year. I KNOW, don’t hate me, but I much prefer the Yokohama quilt show – nowhere near as big a crowds, but still the same level of inspiring quilts! And thus more space to enjoy them fully. And as I’m headed to QuiltCon next month anyway, it felt a little… Read More
Late last year, I managed to find out about the Disney Mini Quilt Swap just in time to sign up! I had shared a bit about my plans a couple of months ago, and in the end, decided to go with my Fairy Tale Castle pattern. I had planned on making it as Cinderella’s castle, like at DisneyLand, until I… Read More
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. I’m a bit of a paper piecing fan (some might say fanatic, but let’s go with fan), and so this block is a paper pieced one. If you’re new to paper piecing,… Read More
My daughter is quite, um, opinionated in what she likes and does not like. Once she’s decided she doesn’t like something, even for something little and actually quite nice/yummy, it’s very hard to convince her otherwise! At the start of winter I gave her the Charm Pack Cherry quilt to use on her bed, but because that first night she… Read More
