I’m super happy to have a quilt on the cover of Today’s Quilter after a long break! In fact it’s been a long time since I had a quilt project actually in the magazine. After spending the last few years designing their Block of the Month series and then working on my book I haven’t …
I have a quilt finish and it is only 11th January! In fact I finished this a week ago but as it’s for a gift I have been waiting to post about it. This is a very long running WIP which I can trace back (thanks to this wonderful blog archive) to the summer of …
Did you think I’d gone for good?! I didn’t mean to leave a whole two months between posts (the longest I’ve ever left in nearly a decade!) but I was working on a really big project that took all my time and energy (there’ll be more info on this in the New Year) and this …
Ta-dah!! It’s finished and revealed! I’m delighted to share my Vintage Home BOM quilt with you today. The latest issue of Today’s Quilter (number 41) is out today and as well as featuring yet another stunning Lynne Goldsworthy cover quilt, you will also find instructions for completing the Vintage Home quilt.

I am delighted to share my Colour Box Quilt today! It’s a pattern in the latest issue (61) of Love Patchwork and Quilting magazine and I got a lovely surprise when it arrived this week to find that it had made the cover! Even more so because I thought it was destined for issue 62! …

And here is the finished result – the Thread House Retreat Medallion Quilt! This year’s …
I’ve waited such a long time to share this quilt with you! My Compass Spin quilt was finished last September, but due to the vagaries of magazine publishing it is only just being published today! It’s a simple version of a traditional compass block made from Denyse Schmidt’s Washington Depot collection by Free Spirit Fabrics. …
I’ve been through a bit of a manic phase in the last few weeks, no time to blog and nothing to show anyway as I have been sewing magazine commissions like crazy! I’m just about through a bit of a backlog (phew!) and have a quilt in the latest issue of Today’s Quilter to share …
It’s a long time since I made a quilt with Kaffe Fassett fabric and I had forgotten what an uplifting joyful experience it can be! This quilt was destined for the issue of Today’s Quilter that coincides with Festival of Quilts so it always need to be a bit of a showstopper. And what better …
Last week I showed the top for this quilt when announcing my new Aurifil thread collection, Sherbert Dip. I am pleased to show you the finished piece! I made this to accompany the thread box and to hang on the stand at Festival of Quilts. Here’s a little reminder of the colours from the box… …
