As an Aurifil Artisan, we’re asked to participate in various challenges throughout the year. January’s focus is on being ‘Sew Organised’, and it’s prompted me to start the process of sorting out my sewing space this month. In fact, this challenge has also inspired me to run an Instagram collaboration with my friend Ali from […]
Rose and Violet’s Garden Projects
When I heard that Miss Rose Sister Violet was releasing a fabric range, I was so excited. Riley Blake Designs very kindly sent me some advance yardage of Rose and Violet’s Garden to play with, and I must confess that it was exactly what I expected from this vintage loving company! The dreamy pastel tones, […]
Week 8 – Forest Family Quilt Along
It’s the final week of the Forest Family Quilt Along and we’re putting on the finishing touch – the quilt binding. I have to confess that I really enjoy this very last step. And I really look forward to sitting down to hand stitch the binding in place. But I do love a good slow […]
‘Create’ Fabric Tour
Welcome to my stop on the fabric tour for ‘Create’; the debut fabric range by my dear friend Kristy Lea of Quiet Play who designs for Riley Blake. If you know Kristy’s work at all, you’ll know she loves rainbows! So when I first caught a glimpse of this range, I wasn’t surprised by the […]
A Look Back At 2019
It’s that time of year when Christmas and New Years have just whizzed by, the Summer school break is well underway and none of us really know what day of the week it is. 2020 arrived way too quickly. And whilst I should already have my planning and ideas down for the coming months, I […]

Fabric, Patterns and Projects in July
This month has started with so many projects and patterns on my list. And in the midst of working on some secret sewing and project planning, I have rearranged my sewing studio and sorted through my entire fabric stash! It was a huge effort, but the benefit was that I created a basket especially for […]
Is It Half Way Through The Year Already?
I can’t believe it is nearing the end of June already! I haven’t been sewing too many pretties lately, or at least projects that I can share. So it’s been far too long since I’ve been on the blog too. I have some fabric showcases and blog tours coming up though, as well as some […]
And just like that, it’s 2019!
Well we’ve finally made it to 2019. The end of the year was a blur! And I have to say that it’s wonderful to start a fresh new year, full of promise and opportunity! The last months of 2018 saw lots of preparation to attend the Australian Quilt Market in Melbourne at the end of […]
Dilly Flowers from Elise and Emelie
My lovely friend Elise from Elise & Emelie has created a fantastic English Paper Pieced Flower pattern that she calls Dilly Flowers. They’re so sweet! She kindly sent me some of the pre-cut paper templates to try, in both half inch and one inch sizes. She sells these in her Etsy store. I used some […]
