September 13th: A Sewing Day!
Another sunny weekend-day has come to an end and today I finally got stuck into some sewing! As the early afternoon rolled over, I fired up the iron, got my machine in working order (new needle, full bobbin and full thread on top), pressed all of my fabrics and begun the task of making my…

How I Match My Fabrics!
Have you ever had one of those weeks where you’ve had so much planned to do but by the end of the week, hardly nothing has been done? Yeh, that’s one of the weeks I’m currently experiencing! Here it is, a windy, chilly Thursday afternoon and I find that my sticky-note to-do list is still…

The Unexpected Quilt

Although the crowd was small, I had a lovely relaxing time sewing, chatting, learning and sewing some more. Among many things, I demonstrated how to cut, piece and join these three…

I love making blocks with my scrap fabrics. There’s something about mixing un-coordinated fabrics together to make a block look coordinated that strangely appeals to me. (I hope that makes sense?)

So I thought to keep me honest and on track with my WIP* New Year Resolutions, I would try my very hardest to post every Monday updating my progress on getting these quilts finished. Whether this is a good or bad thing I haven’t worked out yet! Believe it or not, I have made some…

Two Years Later…
Two years ago, on this very day, I found the guts to start writing a blog. I was nervous, unsure and a little bit scared at the thought of writing and publishing my own quilty work on the internet. But I was looking for a challenge, an expressive medium and a chance to reach out…

Ohh….iMac!
I can hardly contain my excitement, as I am, at this very moment, writing this blog post on my new, very shiny, extremely fast, super-dooper awesome iMac! OH MY GOSH I LOVE THIS THING! Although most of the time I have no idea what I’m doing or where to find anything on the desktop, I’m…

Hooray for the weekend!!
What a week! I’ve been so overwhelmingly busy these past few days that I’m so glad it’s the weekend! The last two days I’ve spent at the Craft & Quilt Show at Darling Harbour where I helped man our stand full of our latest issues and associated quilting products. Of course I took full advantage of…
