Five Inch Patch

This is my latest quilt- a simple patchwork made of eighty 5" squares.

Birds and Birch Trees

I just got a brand new teeny tiny niece this week. She is absolutely lovely. At the moment she lives about 10 minutes from me but soon her family will be moving far away and I probably won't see her much over the next few years. I wanted her to have something that she knows I made her so it had to be a quilt of course.

Paper City Quilt

I've been a big fan of Made By Joel ever since I discovered his Paper City a few years ago. I can't explain why I like it so much but I just do. Since then he's done a paper city Sydney, which I love because, although I live in Perth now, I grew up and studied in Sydney and I love it. There's also a Paper City Paris and a Nativity and they're all fantastic with that distinctive Made By Joel style.

I have been wanting to make a Paper City Quilt for some time now. It was always one of those projects in the back of my mind, brushed aside by girls needing new dresses and the like. When I found out my friend was having her fourth boy last year, it was just the excuse I was looking for to make it a priority on my projects list.

Abigail's Quilt

A new baby is always a good excuse to crack out the Janome. My friend just had a baby girl. Her poor mum had an horrific time during her pregnancy for a number of different reasons so I wanted to make her baby something special. 

Papa's 60th

Last year our parents both turned 60. This is what we made for Dad: I had never made a quilt this large before and was a bit worried about quilting it without it bunching up at the back. I didn't want to stress out my little Janome too much so I made this in sections and then put them together at the end. 

Max the Monkey

This is Max the Monkey and he is headed for the cot/pram/floor of a brand new baby boy.
