Posted on Instagram: I picked up this appliquéd bag kit in Taipei and it came with minimal instructions in Chinese (thank you, Google translate) and I decided to finish it using the Plover Pouch pattern. Sewed entirely by hand because I was too lazy to pull out the sewing machine. 😅 #noodleheadpatterns #ploverpouch #yonglefabricmarket #handsewn
Storm at Sea: Voyage completed… last year
For some reason, posting finishes is hard. I entered this quilt into the Melbourne Royal Show before it was completed. I thought that the three months to due date was enough to finish the quilting I had just started and submit to the show. And I suppose it was, except it took a solid month… Continue reading Storm at Sea: Voyage completed… last year
Storm at Sea rows sewn!
Another milestone reached. All 10 rows sewn, now to sew them together into the final top! And for a little “snack” break, I bought a couple of really cute kits from Hatched and Patched.
Storm at Sea milestone
72 nine inch blocks completed! I got a notification from my photo app that i started printing the shapes on fabric FOUR YEARS AGO. It’s fine. We're here now and I’ve already begun sewing the first row together.
Storm at Sea progress
I’ve stalled a bit on this quilt, so decided I needed to see what the final top would look like. I laid out most of the completed blocks on the spare bed to get an idea. Laying it out helped a lot. I like the way it’s looking. For a while there, I wasn’t sure… Continue reading Storm at Sea progress
Indigo Star Quilt Revisited
So about a decade ago, I ordered this kit from Alabama Chanin. It is still unfinished and to distract myself from starting new projects, I'm looking at it again. The original design was allover Le Moyne stars, but I've departed from that idea before. I reopened my EQ file and I've settled on this design.… Continue reading Indigo Star Quilt Revisited

Liesl + Co neighborhood sweatshirt sew-a-long
I've bought so many patterns but have so many projects in some form of progress, that when Liesl mentioned the sew-a-long, I thought, yes, let's bump that up the list. I had some cheap offcuts that I bought at Spotlight ages ago that I thought would be perfect for a light sweatshirt. It's a lightweight… Continue reading Liesl + Co neighborhood sweatshirt sew-a-long
Camera strap cover
I covered my camera strap years ago and being the kind of thing that you don't normally wash, it has gotten really, really manky. To the point where hubby refused to put it around his neck when I needed him to hold it for me. He was right, it was disgusting. I found some really… Continue reading Camera strap cover
Clamshell quilt
I'm planning two quilts for my boy. A clamshell and a compass star quilt. I've made a start on the clamshell because it will be a smaller "baby" quilt even though he is more kid than toddler these days. I started off with this print that I bought last year and added some homespun colours.… Continue reading Clamshell quilt
Time in a bottle
How is it already October?! My last update was quite a while ago. I need to figure out how to post automatically from Instagram so that it doesn't happen again! I'm working on several different projects, but here's an update on the Advent Calendar. I have 16 ornaments decorated with sequins and beads. Eight to… Continue reading Time in a bottle
