It’s been a rough start to the year for many Australians. Bushfires are still raging across many areas and have caused devastating loss. It’s hard to watch the destruction of human life and property, as well as the large scale loss of native animals and their habitats. The team at the Wollongong Modern Quilt Guild …
Christmas Tree Mini Quilt
I really can’t believe it’s already been a year since I published this Christmas Tree mini quilt pattern!

Scrap Magnet Quilts – Testers’ Versions
One of the best things about quilting is how two people can use the exact same quilt pattern to sew two very different quilts.

Scrap Magnet Quilt Pattern
I have a new scrap quilt pattern for you today called Scrap Magnet. This pattern will hopefully get you rifling through your scrap pile, looking for gold.
