Modern quilt teacher and patterns
Welcome to this week’s instalment for the Bright Sky QAL! It’s definitely not too late to join in if you want to, it’s a quick quilt to piece! Last week we pieced our centre stars, and this week’s Bright Sky quilt task is to piece the outer star sections! These are a little fiddly, but definitely quick and achievable! As… Read More
Over the past couple of months, I’ve slowly worked away at this cushion cover with my son! We started by choosing a backing fabric – the scientist fabric which ended up being the border print – and from that fabric, pulled prints that matched the colours in the print. I pulled a few different prints from each colour, and he… Read More
When my witty and talented friend Laura asked if I’d be willing to help spread the news of her brand new quilt pattern Plum Crazy, I of course said yes! I’ve never met her in person, but she’s one of those people that I know I would have made good friends with even if we didn’t share this quilting passion… Read More
When I had the idea for a Bright Sky quilt along, I thought about asking some quilting friends to quilt along with me too, knowing that these particular friends each have something different to bring to the pattern. The first one immediately to mind was Molli Sparkles, because girl, Joshua brings a certain pizazz to every piece of fabric he… Read More

A very special Sunday Stash this week – my Bright Sky t-shirt from Patchwork Threads arrived this week!! Along with my Christmas shopping for the family so the mums and sisters will also be branded with my designs. I wore it yesterday to our preschool sports day (hence the kids’ uniforms) and it’s so comfy! And looks fabulous, of course… Read More
Seriously, thank goodness it’s Friday. I don’t think I’ve stopped for a week… Last Friday, my husband was supposed to return home after a week away but plane issues led to a delay, than a plane change, and then a cancellation. So he arrived home Saturday afternoon instead. Without his luggage. That was couriered out to us on Sunday, though,… Read More
For September’s Wombat Stew block, Marieka asked for any of these blocks with a dark grey or black background and rainbow bright prints. I chose the Icky Thump block because I could see some fun potential for playing around with colour placement. It wasn’t until I was right at the end that I realised the sections had printed a little… Read More
I’m sorry, just a quick dash through in between caring for one hot little son who is home sick today to let you know that next week is the first Tuesday of the month and we’re back with the monthly themes! Next week will be “Warm” – warm autumn/fall colours! Or for Southern Hemisphereans, warm sunny colours for spring! For… Read More
