All of us Down Under are lucky enough to have Carolyn Friedlander visiting Australia at the moment. I have been known to use her fabrics just a tad: She is one of my favourite fabric designers and I was so happy to snag a spot at one of her workshops a couple of weekends ago. …
I’ve been wanting to make another version of my The Plus Side quilt pattern for a while now (pattern can be found here). I really like the layout of my last one (in Carkai by Carolyn Friedlander) and wanted to try it again with different colours: I went with a scrappy collection of FQs in …
It’s time for the Blogger’s Quilt Festival over at Amy’s Creative Side. Here is the second queen sized quilt I made recently (first one can be seen here). This time I went with a wholecloth quilt pattern. This quilt is full of beautiful saturated Anna Maria Horner colour and showcases the Summer Totem in Tart …
I have a modern wholecloth quilt to show you today. Much like the plumber with a leaking shower, I once was a quilter without a quilt on my own bed. But that sad state of affairs is no longer because I recently finished, not one, not two, but three (!!) queen sized quilts for me, …
Are you looking for a good way to store and organise your small quilting templates? How about a flex frame pouch? This pouch is made of both transparent vinyl and fabric. I chose vinyl because I wanted to be able to see at a glance which templates were in what pouch. I found my vinyl …

Anyone who’s followed this blog for a while will know that I love scrap fabric projects – especially on the micro …
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 …
A rectangle log cabin quilt pattern tutorial. Earlier this year, on instagram, I noticed there was a #scrappylogcabinQAL and a movement to #sewmystash2015. I had been stashing sunny yellow fabrics for almost a year to make my daughter some sort of quilt. Why not combine the two hashtags and sew my daughter a log cabin …
