Love to Sew, Sew for Love

As Valentine's Day approaches, it turns our mind to things we can sew to show those dearest to us that we love them. Because that's what we do as quilters - we put our love into fabric. To help make it easier to find some love themed projects, I've put together a little round up of some patterns that might suit. Of course these don't need to be just for Valentine's Day - every day of the year is a great day to tell someone how much they mean to you - whether in a relationship, or for your ... View Post

The geometric star pattern is one of my favourites The geometric star pattern is one of my favourites! Given all the star motifs in the prints in Imagine, I just had to make some star blocks.
✨
I really love the saturated colours in this line and how they make a glowing rainbow.  If you need your own glowy rainbow, chat to your LQS or fave online store about getting your hands on Imagine. It’s my latest collection for @rileyblakedesigns and arrives in stores in June.
✨
As for the pattern, you can find it in my shop via the link in my profile (just search “star” in the shop).

Imagine! New fabric, new pattern, more rainbow!
🌈
This idea consumed me til I made it happen in fabric. I had an idea to use the main Hexie print for this foundation pieced block and it was a gamble.  I used up nearly alllll of the advanced yardage I had of this print. While I was sewing it I was thinking this is going to be either a) a hot mess or b) awesome.  I’m going with option b! It turned out even better than I had imagined (pun fully intended!).
🌈
Not gonna lie - it was a lot of extra work, extra fabric and extra patience to get those colours lined up and all in order but it was so worth it.  I was super excited it worked out.
🌈
Imagine is my newest collection for @rileyblakedesigns and it’ll be arriving in stores very soon! Make sure to chat to your LQS or fave online store about a preorder.
🌈
This pattern is in the shop now (link in profile) - but don’t worry you can make a much easier version with a solid background. Probably don’t go with a directional print unless you have a good few hours spare 😉😆

A rainbow of selvedges! I really love seeing them A rainbow of selvedges! I really love seeing them all laid out in colour order. And honestly, it’s still surreal to see my name there on the selvedge. I’m very grateful to the awesome team at @rileyblakedesigns for being onboard with my love of rainbow!
🌈
These are all the selvedges from my advanced yardage of Imagine. It’s my newest line and will be in shops in June.  I’ll be sharing lots more about the fabric and a whole bunch of projects made with it in the near future.  In the meantime I’ll continue pondering what to make with these pretties.

I’m super excited to share a little bit of news! I’m super excited to share a little bit of news! I’ve teamed up with two amazing makers and friends, Nic @craftapalooza and Angie @gnomeangel for a fun and free block event! The Sum of Us!
✂️
Each month we will have a block available for free - but with a twist.  It’s one block, in three different ways.  We’ve each put our own spin on the same design.  Angie’s block is full of fussycutting and uses templates to create, Nic’s is made with clever hand piecing and a scrappy twist, and mine is foundation pieced (naturally) with my love of rainbow.
✂️
We’ll be offering a free block each month starting June 1st for 6 months. We also have a fun little bonus with three different quilt layout ideas to give options on what to make with your blocks!
✂️
This is a little sneak peek of our first block which is one that I drew up.  I’m calling it Bestie and I love how different it can look depending on which parts of the block you highlight and where you place the fabric. Swipe to see Nic’s handpieced version, and Angie’s fussycut version.
✂️
Sum of Us celebrates our friendship and our shared love for quilting. And we want to share that with you - our quilting community! So if you’re keen to jump onboard, click the link in my profile and sign up for the fun!

Loved chatting with the @phxmqg on the weekend and Loved chatting with the @phxmqg on the weekend and sharing this little koala cutie! I made a new version with some rainbow additions for a bit of fun.  I may have a gone a wee bit overboard on the fussycutting 😬 I got a little carried away but I had fun and that’s what counts right? 
🐨
If you want to get carried away making your own version, you can find this pattern in my shop via the link in my profile. I used a mix of prints from my collections Dream and the newest one Imagine to make this lil guy.
🐨
We used this pattern in the past for fundraising for the koalas after the awful bushfires. But it’s not a one off thing.  The Pattern Club adopts a koala (or two!) at the @portmacquariekoalahospital to help support whether they have to live at the sanctuary (often due to health issues that won’t allow for them to thrive in the wild) or to be recuperated and released. Such an awesome way we can help these cute little critters!
