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...
This is the first stop! Today, I want to give you an honest story about the book that nearly wasn’t. I’ll try to keep it short. You can preorder Paint By Number Quilts here. I came up with the idea for Quilt By Numbers – as was my original...
I’m hoping that early next week my book(ette) will start arriving around US locations and to Amazon… This would be great news since the two week blog and Instagram tour starts on Monday 17th! Let me tell you a little about it. I have some of my best internet...

Oops, I’m a few days later than I promised! If you have some neat large prints, or panels or just fabric that you love and want to use large pieces of, this layout could work for you! I designed it around Robert Kaufman’s Discover Canada 1 and 2 lines,...
Here is Canada 151, named because I used fabrics that were released to commemorate the Canadian sesquicentennial last year, and then didn’t actually make anything until just before Canada Day this year, finishing up on the stat day itself! Here are some of my favourite squares: Apart from changing...
