For my centre block I’m using a fun little block that I recently did for a pattern test for Sandra Healey of Sandra Healy Designs. I was sure this sweet little cardinal would provide some inspiration for the upcoming clues for each round. Round 1 was a prompt from Anja from Anja Quilts to useContinueContinue reading “2022 SAHRR”

My Tips and Tutorials
All quilters develop their own shortcuts, or tricks or have favourite tools to help when they are creating.

A few months ago I was at the studio and pulled outContinueContinue reading “My Tips and Tutorials”
