Ever since I saw this picture on decordots, I've been searching for a nice suit valet for my husband. Preferably one exactly like that! My dad has one, but it's wood / metal and massive. He offered...
Anyone who knows me probably knows I like colourful quilts. But sometimes, working on something completely different is in order. A client who'd bought a quilt from me mentioned she'd like another...
Here's what's going on in my neck of the woods... Lots of sewing and binding and then more sewing and more binding. I think I sew just to bind. Oh how I love binding. I could become a professional...
I'm cranking out quilts again! I'm like a robot! Hence the picture of the robot! No, not really... I was playing with the robot after I was finished taking pictures of the quilt... It's rough being...
Edit: THE QUILTS ARE NOW SOLD OUT! I'll be updating my shop at 6pm EST tonight with these two Tango Mango baby quilts. One has an aqua backing, and the other has an ash / grey backing. Other than...
This quilt is for Henry. Henry was called home to his Lord, and will be laid to rest with it today. My friend had the top and backing done, but hadn't gotten round to quilting and binding it during...
Something clicked in my head, and all I've wanted to do lately is sew, sew, sew. I hadn't done much since I returned from Singapore and Australia, but I had to do a little project for work with a...
The latest video by Lonely Island featuring Robyn is flipping hilarious (plus the beat is pretty dope and I love Robyn). The hashtags made me completely crack up. Warning: This is not safe for work...
As I sat at home, pouting about missing out on Spring Market, I flicked through the pictures on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, and came across a quilt that was hung up in the Free Spirit booth. I...
More pictures from Australia :) That's the corner of where we stayed. We were right by the Botanical Gardens where they had the Anzac Day celebrations (I wasn't going to wake up for the 6am...
Hah! The sisters three! It's very rare for us to all be together (well okay, not suuuuuper rare, but rare for us!) so we always insist on taking pictures together whenever we can. Love my girls :)...
Oh hi, remember me? I had a blog that I used to update regularly. I suck. I'm sorry. I've been so busy lately with loads of stuff, but thankfully some of that stuff now includes sewing! We settled...
We took a little drive to Swan Valley... the food there is wonderful, but mostly I wanted to show the hubs the vineyards while there were grapes on there. He's only ever visited during the winter...
Oh Australia, how I'd missed you. I hadn't been back since I left in 2007 and I almost forgot just how beautiful is it. The people, the food, the sky... oh the sky... the sky is amazing and...
We're finally home! It's so bittersweet... I had an amazing time with my family and I was so sad to leave. I hate that I live so far away from all my family and I wish I could scoop them all up and...
*** THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED *** Shut the front door! I'm in another book!!! And I have two quilts in this book too! I know, I'm just showing off at this point... Hahaha! Modern Baby is a really...
Ahhhhhhhh I'm going home!!! I'm going to Singapore to see my family and I'm so freaking excited I could spit! I keep smiling to myself like the biggest idiot. Thankfully the hubs could take the...
Ahhhh I'm all done with the triple irish chain quilt top! It's actually gone quicker than I thought it would, and not as tedious as I'd imagined. Well, slightly tedious, but worth it. Sewing the...
I've spent most of the past week working on the triple irish chain quilt for the hub's cousin's wedding gift and I've come to a conclusion that I'm really not fond of sewing looooong strips of...
This story made me full on bawl. I love my sisters more than life itself, and if I didn't have either of them in my life... well... I wouldn't know any better but I'd have missed out on a lot. A...
How cute is this?! It gets even cuter when I tell you I finished it within 24 hours of being asked to make it. Right? Now it's ridiculously cute. (Just ignore the giant piece of fluff sitting smack...
*** THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED *** Time for another giveaway!!! Here's another chance to win a copy of Modern Quilts from the Blogging Universe! I'll even sign it if you'd like :) Leave a comment...
There's new Vampire Weekend songs in the world! Eep!!! I don't look forward to much new music anymore because most of it is complete rubbish. I hold Vampire Weekend close to my heart for some...
I have forgotten to post my 52 Lists entries the last few weeks. Oops. This one's about breakfast so I was all over that. There's tonnes more things to add to the list, but it could go on forever...
I started a Space Invaders quilt for a friend's sister and I'm completely in love! We kept going back and forth on colours because original Space Invaders didn't have colours, and if you add...
I admit it's quite odd to gift someone something with a name so putrid when you're wishing them well on their upcoming nuptials. BUT I'm quite odd anyway, so I thought it'd be hilarious. I made a...
Can you believe I've never made a zig zag quilt until now??? How'd that happen? I love them, so I can't understand why I hadn't. A friend of mine asked if I'd make her friend a baby quilt for her...
My lovely friend Thomas asked if I would play with some of his fabric and make a quilt out of his 'jellybeans'. Sure! I'd love to! He sent over ten cuts of his jellybeans from his various...
I'm on a bit of a mission to fill my poor, empty shop, so I played with more of the Bella I had and made a couple of patchwork lap quilts! It's still one of my favourite collections, and I still...
I've been teaching a couple of friends to sew / quilt and that's been loads of fun for all of us. They're so excited to learn how to sew, and I love that moment when the light bulb goes off and...
