25.01.2022 I made up a new sample today to show different design ideas and techniques using just one Template, Spin-e-fex 12, 5.5". These are just a few ideas, so many more options. Refer to the chart to see what I have done.

23.01.2022 Brrrr it is getting colder here in Western Sydney but it was FREEZING last week in Tasmania! Now is the perfect time to curl up under one of your favourite quilts! I made this one a few years back and I still love to rug up under it! Each panel is done using machine embroidery designs. Stay warm everyone! . . . #quilting #embroidery #sewing #winter #staywarm #machineembroidery

18.01.2022 Its not too late to book a spot in my classes next week if youre interested!

18.01.2022 Just finished sewing the binding on this quilt. My own design that Ive called On Point. It measures 68 x 84 and is made up of 8 blocks. 16 patchs and HSTs. 960 pieces plus the border. This quilt is for my daughters best friend and her boyfriend as they have just moved into their first home. I used my Westalee HST Ruler (love it) for the cutting. Quilted with Westalee Rulers Spin-e-fex 15, 11.5, Sound Waves 1.5 and a long straight Ruler. It was a challenge to quilt on my DSM and had to move to the Dining room table to give me enough room to manoeuvre. All made from my stash!

18.01.2022 Do you have trouble figuring out how to transport your rulers safely? Well look no further! I designed this Ruler bag and cutter bag to safely transport my rulers and my rotary cutters. I have also designed one for my Westalee Rulers which will be posted soon. #sewing #rulers #embroidery #rotarycutter

18.01.2022 Wishing this hot weather would pass! Though at least it means I get to spend more time inside in the air conditioning and sew to my hearts content! This is a quilt I made a little while ago. I used the Sakura by Modal Jelly Roll. Quilted on DSM with Westalee Ruler foot and rulers. Continuous Heart 6 border, S8 Sound Waves and Spin-e-Fex Feathers template for the appliquéd flowers. #quiltsofinstagram #westaleerulers #westaleerulerfoot #westalee #sewing #quilting #flowers #feather #sakurabymodal

11.01.2022 With all the technology available today, its important that you protect it (and that it looks great when its not being used!)

Just a few photos to show including one mishap of quilting the instructions to the back of the block. Thanks to Leesa for organising the venue.

02.01.2022 I pieced this Mexican Stars Wall Hanging just over two years ago. It was about time I quilted it! I have used Circles on Quilts, 4" Arc, Spin-e-fex #1 1.5", 2.5", 3.5" and 5.5", 12" Arc and the continuous loop 2 x 2" for the border. I loved the challenge of deciding what to quilt and where. I used contrasting thread on the back to give a Sashiko effect.
