I think we can all agree that a quilter’s natural territory is straight lines. We spend hours making sure that our seams are straight as we whizz through piecing at lightening speed. So it’s no wonder that the mere mention of curves fills many of us with horror! Our comfort zone is undeniably a lovely place to be, but this month we have projects that challenge some of our play-it-safe quilting preconceptions and push those boundaries just a little. Let's take a deep breath, dial down the speed to a more sedate pace, and create some soft curves and circles this issue. But what if it all goes wrong? In my experience there’s very little that a seam ripper and a few choice words can’t deal with! Join us online...…

I think my artistic voice majorly stems from what I find interesting and, at the same time, comforting. My voice is always changing and evolving Tell us about your creative journey. Being the daughter of a photographer/art teacher and a musician, I’ve experimented with many art forms from an early age. As a younger child, Mom always kept us busy with various projects, from clay jewellery and tie-dye to drawing and oil painting. As a young teenager I was obsessed with writing and performing songs, playing guitar, painting and sewing my own clothes. At university I decided to study fashion design, then worked as an accessories designer for eight years. I made a lot of computer-generated art, however I missed the grounded feeling I got from creating handmade work. Quickly,…

Despite how much we procrastinate, most WIPs finally reach the stage where they become finished quilts. I always have a dual response to that moment… there’s the elation and satisfaction of having finished a project – that proud moment of seeing the quilt on my bed – but there’s also the feeling of loss as a project I’ve loved working on has come to an end. My hands are restless and I miss the enjoyment of the creative process. After three fabulous years, I’m putting the final stitch in my time as the back page columnist for Love Patchwork & Quilting. I’ve had such an amazing time sharing my thoughts about this craft that I love so much. As much as we think about quilting as being about fabric, thread…
