Honey Pot Quilt

Six months ago I got a little nudge in the right direction, and this month my very first published quilt hit the stands. My quilt is called Honey Pot, and features the Sweet as Honey fabric by Bonnie Christine for Art Gallery Fabrics.

The magazine is the December issue of Down Under Quilts, and it's available in newsagents now.

So much new Moda!

I've had so much new Moda fabric arrive this week that my floor is vanishing under the boxes. I've got heaps of yet-to-be-released fabric including:

• Summerfest by April Rosenthal
• Little Miss Sunshine by Lella Boutique
• Behind the Scenes by Jen Kingwell
• Coral Queen of the Sea by Stacy Iest Hsu
• Mama Says Sew Vol II from Sweetwater
• And more!

You can find them all over on the website.

Gooseberry by Lella Boutique for Moda

What an anticipated arrival! These gorgeous fabrics were waiting for me when I got home from work yesterday. We are still waiting on two bolts, but in the mean time, yardage and mini bundles (and charm packs) are available in the shop.

Kaleidescope Quilt

Finally finished all the blocks and got the top sewn together last night. Lots of seams to match on this one, but isn't too bad if you press your seams right.

Just need to whip on some borders and it will be ready for quilting. Hopefully we get yardage soon so I can finish it!

Canyon by Kate Spain for Moda

This lovely new range has just landed in the shop. We have everything from Jelly Rolls and Bundles right through to fabric by the metre.

I just can't get enough of those colours! You can find it all right here.

New Moda has Arrived!

It's definitely that time of year; we've had so many new fabrics arrive this week. We have early release pre-cuts of a lot of Moda's upcoming ranges, including Aria, Strawberry Fields Revisited, Ombre, Simply Colorful II and Lil' Red

Vintage Picnic from Bonnie and Camille sold out on arrival, but we are still taking pre-orders for when the range arrives in January

We also have some great new arrivals from Robert Kaufman; both the Remix and Urban Zoologie lines designed by Ann Kelle. 

 

New Moda Fabrics

We have lots of early release Moda pre-cuts coming soon, and you can pre-order now to guarantee your delivery.



We have Vintage Picnic from Bonnie and Camille.

Happy Home by Sew Caroline for Art Gallery Fabrics

This lovely fabric arrived from Art Gallery recently and I still can't get enough of it.

There are some funky prints including a gorgeous text print. All available by the metre or in fat quarter and half-metre bundles. You can see more here.

Kaleidoscope Quilt

With a full time job, my sewing time seems to be getting less and less. And with the warmer weather finally approaching I don't see it getting any better. But I did finally manage to start a new project!

I've been blissfully eyeing off a Gooseberry Jelly roll, from the lovely Lella Boutique.

And who could go past her gorgeous Kaleidoscope pattern? I found a little time over the weekend (apart from a tonne of spring cleaning) to whip up the first few blocks. They are super easy! No crazy points to line up at all.

 

I can already tell I'm going to love this quilt.

Modern Background Paper by Zen Chic for Moda

This gorgeous new range of low volume fabrics has just arrived. From news print to cursive script, there is something for everyone.

I might even stash some away for myself! You can find them here.

Churn Dash Baby Quilt

Sometimes you just need a quilt in a hurry, and last weekend was one of those. One of my friends recently had a baby and I desperately wanted a quilt to gift her when we visited. Then I remembered the single-block churn dash quilt in the Thimble Blossom's book Simply Retro. Perfect! 

 
 
Made with two Daysail prints and a little Hello Darling Binding

And some Prints Charming on the back.

 

 

 

She loved it.

Hello Darling by Bonnie and Camille for Moda

These gorgeous fabrics have finally arrived!

We have lots of pre-cuts, bundles and yardage. Just so yummy and you can find them here.

Starstruck by Daysail

After a hiccup I've finally finished my Starstruck quilt. Just need time to quilt it.

I'm loving those red borders.

Starstruck Quilt

I know my blog is a little neglected these days. I sarted a full time job recently and it means my sewing and blogging time is greatly reduced. But there have been a few things happening in what little spare time I have.

My newest project is Starstruck, a pattern from Lella Boutique. I've chosen to use Bonnie and Camille's Daysail.

The snowball blocks have gone together quickly and easily. I wasn't sure about the teal but I love how they turned out.

And I'm making good progress on the stars, squeezing a few in when I get a minute or ten.

This quilt should come together in no time.

Maker from Art Gallery Fabrics

I've been working recently to stock the shop with a few more low volume fabric options, and Maker from Art Gallery is just perfect. Featuring pins, scissors and other craft-related motifs. 

We've also got a great telegram print from Art Gallery.

All our low volume prints can be found here.
