I’m not one for resolutions, or words to live a year by, but I know it works great for others. This year already however, it seems things have kind of organically gone that way for me. My day job is as a graphic designer – I get paid well...
I had two targets for Q4 of 2018 and I achieved them both! So it’s time to set goals again. I’m in a real applique mood, so it could be the time I get the Quilt Workout Applique pattern done. It’s been a couple of years before I’ve even...
Happy New Year! While browsing through Google Drive for pictures for my last post, I came across photos of my woven cushion and realised that I hadn’t shared that project here! It was some months ago that I made this, but it came out so well, and lives on...
This is 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 3 – the projects in the book. As mentioned...

I designed this quilt solely with the intent of entering Quiltcon. I did enter two other quilts too (Scallops and Arlecchino) but this one was the only one with that agenda from the start. Each square – or almost sorta squareish shape – is 1/2″, so there’s as much...
A month or two ago, our neighbour came over to look at my pictorial quilts after my husband had been talking over the fence about them. She wanted a picture of their two dachshunds for their daughter, but I knew it would be out of price range, even with...
I’ve simply named this mini quilt “left”. I’ve tried to incorporate arrow signs pointing left, after the Speed Date With Improv class with Krista Hennebury last month gave me lots of pieces that could create arrow-like shapes. It challenged my left brain, the side that likes to be organised...
