Craft fair in town and project updates
Hi Reader,
Are you a Mackay local? If yes I hope you had time to go to the Bucasia Beach Quilter Craft fair this past weekend?
Some stunning quilts have been displayed and local craft woman have shown the stunning work they do. I had to work in my casual job but was able to walk through within the last hour of the event and it was wonderful to see all the art work. Unfortunately I don't have any photos. Next time I have to ask them if I'm allowed to take some and share it with you. :)
Picture wall hanging class - pre-recorded version finally ready :)
I know it took me a while to get all the recordings together and finalize the class. But I'd rather take my time and do it properly than just rush it together and in the end it's no good.
This is another sample piece I made for class. If you are one of my students who did the 12 week course with me which included this project. I have added the online class to your bundle as promised.
If you are new to this project click the image below to learn more about it. :) It's a fun project ideal for any beginners to see if you like quilting. The structure is similar yet I've simplified the process to assure that everyone with a basic machine and no quilting equipment can do this project. :) Learn more.
I also love how versatile it is. I kept it simple but you can do different version of finishing options for the photos and different block options for the parts without a photo.
What do you think shall I add the other photo finishing options to the class or not? I don't want to overwhelm everyone but it might be fun to experiment with different options. What do you think?
And here a little sneak peak of a Scrappy Applique project I'm working on currently.
I'm currently in the process of quilting over it so it's not finished yet. It will turn into a couch cover. This part will go over one of the pillows. :) I'll show you an image once it's all done. :)
Click the image below or HERE to learn more about Scrappy Applique, what it is and how to learn it. :) At the moment I'm only offering virtual life workshops for individuals and virtual life programms for guilds and quilt shops.
I love Scrappy Applique. So simple, fun and versatile technique. It can give a wow effect to basically anything you create ;)
Happy creating and talk to you soon.

Hi Reader, I know I've been quiet but I'm working on a lot of things behind the scenes. The biggest challenge for me as an entrepreneur is currently to find my message and where I fit in. The realm of sewing is huge and most people divide the sewing knowledge into two worlds - Dressmaking and Quilting. But what if there is another world. A world that holds endless potential to combine, create and explore? Like a connecting thread between those 2 worlds. Combined with the power of being a...
Hi Reader, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and some relaxing days off to rejuvenate for the coming New Year. 2024 is here and I'm excited to dive into this new year and dearly hope that all our wishes and dreams will come true. Whilst I love this festive season I have come to realize that working in retail takes a little bit of the magic away, unfortunately. The relaxing time is suddenly not as relaxing as I remember it from those days when I worked in the office. LOL Even with all that...
Hi Reader, Have you every wondered if patchwork is something for you? Or is there a way to display my pictures in a more creative way than just in photo frames? Well, here is an idea for you. In this 6 hour workshop we are going to create a picture wall hanging based on some simple patchwork. I simplyfied the technique so that everyone with basic sewing equipment is able to create it. From children to adults everyone who did my 8 week beginner course as well as everyone who knows some sewing...
