I’m going to write a 3-parter about the quilts and projects I made for Paint By Number Quilts, so I can share those projects made way back in 2016 that I couldn’t put on my blog at the time. This is part 1 – the small projects. The original...
Here’s my Blue Jay quilt! I’d say it was my latest finish, but that’s not exactly true. It’s been a while since making a pictorial, since I made so many for the book. You may have seen my video timelapse of this, but it is now all finished and...
I was in two minds about whether I link up for this quarter or not. I have lots of new things I want to make, and I know it won’t be a finishing kinda quarter – a bit like the last one really. I joined the Carried Away Pattern...
Thanks to everyone who has supported Paint By Number Quilts in some way so far! I will be receiving my shipment tomorrow and I will have a few copies in my Etsy pattern shop once they’re here. In shocking news, Amazon released them a day early (maybe two, I...

It’s nice not having deadlines. I’m doing some magazine writing, but not making right now. At first, it meant I could take a guilt-free break from sewing. We moved the mattress into the sewing room as used it as a place to sleep when the temperatures reached over 30...
I have been working on this quilt for months, which slowed down making anything else and also my video creation because this one I definitely had to keep a secret, under the MQGs orders! It was designed for the MQGs Quilt of the Month series, but unfortunately didn’t make...
Ooh goal time again! Since I don’t have ANY print deadlines on the horizon, I’m thinking about my WIPs more. Maybe that will mean more success, or maybe it will be more thinking and less sewing… So here’s my list, I bet regulars are so bored of some of...
