A rail fence quilt pattern. Or is it a fence rail quilt pattern? I’ve seen it both ways and I’m confused! I had another finish this week – this time a lap-sized (60″ x 66″) quilt. I’m calling it Off the Rails as it uses the rail fence quilt block, but in random placement/orientation in …
About a month ago I bought a copy of Krista Hennebury’s book, Make It, Take It. It’s a great sewing book with 16 pretty and useful projects to sew for yourself or for others. There are so many lovely people in the online quilting world, and Krista is one of them. I was lucky enough to …
This past week has been my week of OPS – Other People’s Stuff. I’ve had such a fun time sewing other people’s patterns – first there was Jane’s Bob Box and now I have my version of a pattern by Peta from She Quilts A lot. It’s called True North, and I’ve made the mini version (finishes …

Gather ‘Round is a bold and graphic modern quilt pattern suitable for the advanced beginner.
A Grit mini quilt. Grit: perseverance and resilience. Grit: Courage and resolve; strength of character. However you define it, I think we all agree that a bit of grit is a good thing. A lot of grit, even better. This topic comes up often in our home of late as we negotiate mathematics, French, musical …
This post is a recap of my navy and white Diamonds in the Deep quilt (pattern can be purchased here) as an entry in the Blogger’s Quilt Festival. It’s both brilliant and painful to watch all the amazing Houston Quilt Market photos roll in. Brilliant because there are so many talented quilters out there and …
It’s true that Halloween isn’t that big a deal here in Australia. If anything, it’s probably been embraced more by Aussie adults than the kids – you’re much more likely to see Halloween used as an excuse for a party than see kids out Trick or Treating. Regardless, that won’t stop me sewing something up …
