Keen to learn more about the Pattern Club?

You’re in the right place! Here you’ll find all the information on what, where and why! Oh and most importantly, all the details on how to join in the fun!

What Is the Pattern Club Anyways?

Well I’m glad you asked! The Pattern Club is the best way to join a bunch of fellow foundation paper piecing fanatics and sew up a bunch of beautiful (and exclusive) patterns! Join in the current Pattern Club, or one of the previous ones, and you’ll receive two foundation pieced patterns straight to you every month. Use these patterns on their own, make them into a cushion or a tote, or sew them each month to create a beautiful quilt at the end of the Pattern Club.

The details in a nutshell

Here’s the dot point version of what’s included in the Pattern Club!

  • two themed patterns each month for the duration of the Pattern Club
  • a pattern from the Quiet Play archives each month for the duration of the Pattern Club
  • exclusive discount to the Quiet Play pattern shop
  • special bonus patterns for extra fun
  • a fun and supportive community to cheer you on and share your beautiful makes with!

    Sometimes I sew with a palette that’s not rainbo Sometimes I sew with a palette that’s not rainbow.

Ah who am I kidding.  I totally added more colours to round this out to be more rainbow for the blocks that accompany this one 😉

These prints are from my various collections for @rileyblakedesigns and the snowy type print is @materialgirlquilts Wonderland - it’s the perfect background for this planned project.

The sweary mug is by the clever @cynthiafrenette - and such an accurate sentiment 😉

    If you love to foundation paper piece, make it a l If you love to foundation paper piece, make it a little easier with getting some specialty paper. Here’s one I prepared earlier 😉
✂️
This FPP paper (sold to quilt shops near you by @rileyblakedesigns) is lightweight, thin enough to easily see your printed templates, and tears away from your seams a lot more easily than regular printer paper.
✂️
Combine this with @wonderfilspecialtythread Decobob thread and your next foundation pieced project will be an absolute breeze.
✂️
Chat to your LQS or favourite online quilt shop about nabbing some of this paper for when you next have the urge to FPP!

    Photos aren’t my favourite but I’m working on Photos aren’t my favourite but I’m working on being better about sharing them so you can get to know the face behind the patterns and fabrics 😉. So a little trip to the gardens for Carnival of Flowers seemed a good opportunity for a happy snap.

So this is me! Im Kristy, an Aussie maker, designer and mama to 2 teenagers. I’m a rainbow loving foundation piecing fanatic 😉 I love bright bold patterns with a touch of whimsy.  FPP really is my favourite technique and I’m on a mission to show that it’s not as hard as it seems. I design my patterns to avoid pesky y-seams and to piece together smoothly.
🌺🪻
If you’re interested in dabbling in FPP, I have a bunch of fun ways for you to get started. From free patterns in my shop, to a course to teach you how to foundation paper piece, then there’s a sewing themed Pattern Club (called Make), and even a monthly mini quilt membership (Make Mine Mini). You can find links to all of these in my profile. I’d love to show you how fun FPP can be!
🌺🪻
When not foundation paper piecing or thinking about quilting, I’m designing fabric for @rileyblakedesigns. My current collection Make is in stores now - and I’ll be debuting my upcoming collection at Quilt Market in Houston next month.  If you see this Aussie face wandering around Market, do say hello!
🪻🌺
If that’s not enough quilting fun… the other hat I wear is as one of the co-founders and the Creative Director of @makemodernmagazine Issue 54 is out now and an excellent source of quilting articles and pattern inspiration!

Oh and I also super love my silly muppet Silkie chickens. You’ll quickly discover that when you join my newsletter list (link in profile 😉).

My Miss 13 spotted it and it said “isn’t that your fabric Mum?” And yes, yes it is! It’s one of my favourite prints from my second fabric line Dream (for @rileyblakedesigns). So naturally this little elephant had to be purchased to add to my pincushion collection and brighten my sewing studio.

With Carnival of Flowers happening in my local area, I figured it was time to finish this quilt for some photos using the lovely local gardens as a backdrop.

Given it’s a little windy and overcast, the best I’ve managed for now is some snaps in my studio.  But I’m determined to get some gardens photos!

@leanne_mountvincentquilts quilted this for me with an all over panto which is perfect for this quilt.  It’s pretty rainbowtastic - using prints from my various collections for @rileyblakedesigns plus I added a little extra rainbow in the binding.
