A little heads up 🤍
From 28 February 2026, there’ll be a small increase to my quilting prices.

Just to reassure you — this won’t affect any quilts already in my queue, or any quilts dropped off on or before 28 February.

Updated pricing is live on my website, so feel free to have a look here:

Thank you so much for your continued support — it truly means the world to my small business

🎄✨ Quilting Update! ✨🎄
My quilting list is now full for guaranteed pre-Christmas delivery!
I’m still more than happy to take in quilts, but I just can’t promise they’ll be finished before Christmas. I’ll do my best, but the elves (aka me!) are working flat out already! 😉
Thank you so much to everyone who’s brought quilts in — I’m so grateful for your support and can’t wait to see all these beautiful projects finished up for the festive season. ❤️

A little late in sharing this, but I’m so thrilled to say my quilt was awarded Highly Commended in the Modern Quilts – One Person category at the Victorian Quilters Quilt Showcase a few weeks ago! 🎉 A big thank you to for sponsoring the category.

Even more exciting, my lovely customer Lynette also received Highly Commended in the Modern Quilts – Two Person category with her beautiful quilt. 💕

It was such a joy to see so many inspiring quilts on display and to celebrate these wins together. 🪡✨

✨ Rumour control time (with a little help from our newest employee, Daisy 🐾)
We’ve had a few people asking if we’re closing up shop because there’s a For Sale sign & Sold sticker out the front of our building. Rest assured — we’re not going anywhere!

The sign is for the building, not the business. We’re securely in our lease until April 2028, so you’ll be seeing plenty of us (and now Daisy) for years to come.

It’s been such a busy few months that it honestly never crossed my mind that the sign might cause a stir. But don’t worry — while the building is now sold, I’m definitely not packing up my quilting machine anytime soon.

In fact, we’ve just added to the team — meet Daisy, our brand-new “employee”! Her specialty? Supervising from the comfort of a quilt pile and reminding us to take cuddle breaks 💕
So please keep popping in — we’re still here, still quilting, and now with extra puppy love. 🐶✨

Over 20 years ago, Kim designed this stunning stained glass star quilt using the stack and slash technique—perfect for endless fabric variations! Her latest version, Sherbet Striped Stars, is a vibrant mix of solids framed with a bold black-and-white stripe. Prefer a classic look? Opt for black fabric to frame your stars instead!

In this workshop, you’ll create stars in sets of three, with a focus on completing at least three stars during class. The pattern is included in your workshop fee!

Throwing it back to 2023 with Rosemary's version of The Avenue by Louise Papas and the very first quilt I quilted using the Good Vibrations Offset pantograph from Urban Elementz! Since then, this pattern has become a go-to favourite—perfect for even the busiest quilts when you want something more than just a simple meander. I've used it so many times, and it never disappoints!

Last year felt so busy that I didn’t think I got much sewing done—but looking back at my camera roll, I actually accomplished more than I realised! This Denim Pockets quilt from was such a fun challenge. I was so excited about the quilting that I had this ‘Hocus Pocus’ pantograph from .elementz picked out before the quilt was even finished!
