Hello! I’m back! Maybe it looked like I’d given up on blogging but I promise I haven’t! Now I can’t wait to get caught up on all those projects that haven’t been blogged (going back to November last year!!). First up I have a pillow that I made for Alison and Sami’s Instagram pillow swap a while […]
Hello! Welcome! It’s my turn on the Tiny Toffee Blog Hop! I’m really excited to show you what I’ve been working on… but first let me introduce Susi. I feel like Susi and I go waay back. She’s been coming up with brilliant ideas that I can’t resist getting involved in for several years now. […]
I’m back! The summer holidays are over and my children have gone back to school. There’s no time to dwell on how terribly quiet the house is, I’ve filled the silence with the hum of my sewing machine. After two months of zero sewing I am more than ready to get stuck back in. Today I’m thrilled to […]

The book showcases Nancy’s pared back design aesthetic, with a focus on angled shapes to create modern quilts with graphic impact.

I am really thrilled to be sharing a tutorial for this block as it’s perfect for my favourite Foundation Paper Piecing (FPP) technique. I’ve pieced all my other blocks so far but the small pieces and bias […]

In February there was a trip to Quiltcon and classes with Carolyn Friedlander and Penny Layman. Next month I’m taking the Meadow class with Lizzy House in […]

I love it when I can cross two things from my list with just one project finish, and, hooray, that’s what I’m doing today… A while back Danielle (petitselefants on IG) and Jeannette (goneaussiequilting on IG) from Polka Dot Tea asked me if I’d like to choose a bundle of fabrics from their store. Um, yes […]
If I wasn’t already quilting my way through a book, I would be tempted to make every project in Anna Graham’s book Handmade Style, I love this book! This quick project is my second from the book and I know I’ll be making more. If you have the book you might have noticed that I left the […]
The Hamilton Craft and Quilt Show is an annual event here in Hamilton and one I look forward to all year. The show runs over four days and combines vendors, exhibitions and workshops.
