How could I forget that I have finished all the blocks for a recent BOM but haven’t joined them! Best I hightail it to the studio and get these together and quilted so that I can enjoy this quilt.

Wow! Some weeks just fly by and you are left wondering where in the world the time has gone. This is one of those weeks for me so read along as I review an older project.

Becoming a member of a guild is a very important step in your quilting journey. This week I reflect on a project with the Melbourne Modern Quilt Guild and MPavilion.

This week I write about my Social Sharks quilt. Elizabeth’s instructions are EXCEPTIONALLY good. If I had have had a little more trust in the first place my first 6 blocks would have been a breeze! I hope someone reading this can learn from my mistakes.

One of the things that I love about making quilts is the tradition for minimising fabric waste and to use every scrap of fabric possible. This week I was Seeing stars instead of wasted fabric!

This was the first quilt I made that was from a commercial pattern and that used diamonds to make half hexagons to form the blocks here.

Haver you ever made a quilt as a part of a sew-a-long series? The Norfolk Quilt from Quilter’s World Magazine was an absolute joy to sew throughout their 4 part series. Designed by Wendy Sheppard.

Take a look at how I repurposed some old table linens and business shirts to make a very distinct looking quilt.

Have you developed any little habits that you like to incorporate into your own quilting? This week I share one of my ‘quilting quirks’ that I have only recently noticed but have decided to keep…

This quilt is an example of using a ‘bricologe’ method but also resulted from a method for making HSTs that results in LOTS of extra units…

The Double Wedding Ring quilt is a very traditional design and another quilt that I consider a ‘right of passage’ on my journey to becoming a serious quiltmaker.

What happens when you find you have a small panel that you have to work into your quilt top? The bird quilt was unexpected, but is much loved by its new owner…

Will you be joining us for Moda Blockheads 5? It’s great fun and you will learn a lot no matter where you are with your quilting journey!

The more fabrics and colours I added, the better this quilt design got…After all, Jen Kingwell is a master of the more prints the merrier!

Grandmother’s flower garden is a right of passage for any quilter. Made with traditional EPP (English Paper Piecing) it is a long term labour of love. Take a look at how I managed to finish my quilt despite giving up on the seemingly endless hand stitching….

I love this Kaffe Fassettt Collective fabric…why did it take years to be put into a quilt?

Making it work, experimenting with Diamonds and low volume background fabric. This one took a long while but I think it has been worth it…

I recently had a chance to make a few baby quilts for a new addition — another lovely niece!

How do you decide what price to charge your clients for Edge 2 Edge Quilting?

Colourful Corners and making those connections!
