The Pacific oasis a haven of graces, a watery realm to explore. Connected by waves across the vast ocean, the ebb and flow of life.

Rock pool’s embrace, dolphins dance, whales gracefully glide past. Sun weathered swimmers.
Worlds Apart, Same Ocean .

🏷️ Worlds Apart, Same Ocean
60" x 60"
Machine pieced, hand quilted and hand embroidered
Machine quilting by Kat Jones @twocatsquilts.

This modern quilt is an ode to the natural world and its power to connect us all. My variation of the traditional Winding Ways design creates a green world surrounded by vast oceans, representing the physical distance that separates us.

Yet, the quilt also includes tiny points of connections, such as bridges and isthmuses, and flight paths that criss-cross the planet, reminding us of the ways in which we are all linked together.

My daily swims in a Sydney rock pool and conversations with my quilting friend Krista @poppyprint , who swims on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, inspired this work. I believe that through exploring art and nature, we can find common ground and celebrate our differences whilst embracing our shared humanity.

At a time when we've often felt isolated, this quilt serves as a reminder of the beauty and interconnectedness of the natural world.

Of course being away at the moment meant that I missed the opening of our “In Conversation” exhibition back in Sydney @gallery76_queenst. I have enjoyed looking through everyone’s photos and reading the comments. Can’t wait to see it in person when I get back home!

Congratulations Tara @stitchandyarn for a beautiful show and thank you for all your hard work putting this together. Right down to the last minute challenge of getting Chawne’s @cauchycomplete quilt from Melbourne to Sydney in time for the opening. What a team effort.

A huge thank you to my wonderful friend and partner in the show @poppyprint. I’m so glad we got to plan our quilts in person and swim together recently during your visit. I think our quilts look fabulous hanging together, different yet complimentary, just like us 💃🏻

Expect more photos in your feed soon!

Two fun packed days teaching @precioustimefabrican

Two fun packed days teaching @precioustimefabricandquilts! It’s always wonderful to be back in sunny Toowoomba and catch up with everyone again.

🧵✂️🪡

I saw progress on some Chuck Nohara quilts, gorgeous little blocks that will one day become heirlooms! I love seeing the leaps made in construction technique and understanding between visits.

🧵✂️🪡

Several new Opal Essence quilts, with their yseams, curved machine piecing and one hand pieced mini EPP version.

🧵✂️🪡

A striking 12” Winding Ways cushion by Helen came together very quickly!

🧵✂️🪡

Most people also started their own kawandi pieces too, learning a new technique to use up their scraps. Many will be turned into practical Retreat Bags, totes, cushions, wraps and even a table runner!

🧵✂️🪡

Thank you so much to Patrina for inviting me once again. A big thank you to @jesscoake89 for all the logistics and hospitality and to Liz for looking after all of us at the shop over the two days. It’s your support that makes these workshops successful, couldn’t have done so much without you 💐

I’m teaching in South East Queensland for the next 10 days. If you see me, I’ll probably be wearing a variation of these two crazy outfits 😅

Not much room left in the huge suitcases for clothes when you travel with quilts and kits!

See you soon @precioustimefabricandquilts @kimzsew and Queensland Quilters!

Yesterday, I took a break from all the admin tasks, workshop prep and deadline sewing for a couple of hours. It's important to recharge, right?

🧵🪡 🌸

I've been eyeing this adorable fabric in my stash to make an Emmaline Retreat Bag for my charging gear. It looks like bits of tapestry but it's actually a fun cheater print from Moda called Flea Market Moxie by Cathe Holden. Wish I had bought more of it! 😍

Time to dive back into the To-Do List and conquer those tasks. It’s Monday… Let's get things done and checked off! ✅

Wow, what a busy #3rdsaturdayclass it was today @mysewingsupplies!

A wide variety of projects: a quilt coat, a bag, Opal Essence quilts, some huge log cabins to tiny Chuck Nohara blocks!

Congratulations everyone, great to have you back Sharon. I think it was a good move leaving your “duster” on… could’ve easily fit in my suitcase 😬

📆
NEXT CLASS is 17th JUNE, contact the shop to book your spot!

Two years ago I cut up this cursed quilt and turned into a coat. One of my best decisions ever! And I haven’t stopped since…

As the temps drop here in Sydney, boy am I grateful to have a wardrobe full of colourful options to throw on and keep warm.

Getting there… my incidental sashiko stitching means squeezing in a few rows here and there. At the doctors, in a queue, waiting for a friend to arrive. I really just want to concentrate on this to get it finished but there are other more important tasks at hand!

What a fabulous way to spend the day, busy sewing

What a fabulous way to spend the day, busy sewing and doing what we love. Time to create is a precious gift on any day but especially on Mothers Day 💞

❣️

Congratulations to all the workshop participants for their perseverance and trust. It was delightful to see your confidence grow as you sewed in your zippers and your bags took shape. Well done 🎉

❣️

This won’t be the last of the Retreat Bag workshops @fabricgarden. The new space is perfectly set up for this workshop. Stay tuned for the next date!

Lots of ooohs and ahhhs as students shared the work completed since last month’s class @60stitches_.

🌺🌈☕️🍰

A day full of wonderful colour, excited chatter and delicious cake! The best ingredients when gathering to sew.

🏷️ Lisa brought in her finished Picnic In The Park quilt (pattern by Annabel Wrigley), quilted by @mishmash.quilts

🏷️ Natalie worked on her fussy cut Blissful quilt. Grateful for the additional fabric from @quiltinator, all the way from Vancouver!

🏷️ Mel continues to join her Glitter EPP (pattern by Jen Kingwell) blocks together. This is a labour of love!

🏷️ Kate finished her Swirly Gig quilt! And a Red & White quilt with Lisa, a gift for a friend.

Next date in Warriewood is 10 JUNE. We missed you Kath and Soozie 💐

If you’d like to join this small but friendly group on the Northern beaches, drop me a DM.

Not long now till the launch of the In Conversatio

Thank you so much to @berninaaustralia for helping

Thank you so much to @berninaaustralia for helping me meet all my deadlines with this beautiful Kaffe Edition 570QE!

🌺🌸🌼

BERNINA have always been incredibly supportive of all makers in Australia, especially modern and traditional quilters. They sponsor our shows and go above and beyond in the service department. Whilst my hardworking 10 year old B710 machine gets a turn at the spa, I look forward to getting to know this gorgeous yet very practical model. You might even see her out and about whilst I’m teaching 💫

🌺🌸🌼

The best thing about sticking with Bernina is that all my feet and extra large bobbins can go straight in. And there’s no time lost learning something new. Which is handy given how many projects need to be finished in the next few months. Thanks to Kerrie Hay and Bernina Australia for looking after me 🙏

🌺🌸🌼

🏷️ yet to be named quilt in the background uses @victoriafindlaywolfe fabrics and was quilted by my very talented friend @twocatsquilts 🥰

I didn’t get too many photos but we had a lovely day @berryquiltandco. Outside the sun was shining, the birds were tweeting and inside everyone was busy getting things done!

🍓🍓🍓

🏷️ Mary finished this gorgeous #emmalineretreatbag with her #kawandi piece from a couple of weeks ago. I loved the fussy cut strawberries on the zipper tabs and neat lining so much that I forgot to take photo of the outside. Doh!

🏷️ Sam has signed up for the #QuiltCoat class in September and will be working on a quilt to cut up! She’s making #megaqstcourthousesteps with a Jelly Roll and some scraps. They are nice big 20” blocks that come together really quickly so it’ll totally work out. Keep going Sam 💫

🏷️ Meredith started a kawandi table runner to take on her island holiday. Lucky duck!

🏷️ Charlotte continued to stitch her Kawandi whilst making decisions about her quilt coat…

Next Wednesday Berry dates are:
12th July
13th Sept
8th Nov

🍓🍓🍓

Anyone is welcome, you can work on any of my patterns. I’ve left some samples with the shop if you’d like some inspiration. Any questions speak with the helpful staff in the shop or send me a DM
