Love Patchwork & Quilting Issue 46의 목차

So far this year, I've completed more projects than in the entirety of 2016 (shameful admission, I know). I like to think that this sudden flurry of productivity is down to my new sewing mantra – one of the many gems of quilty wisdom shared by our Tech Ed and my quilty partner in crime, Sarah. So I say to you: "Finished is better than perfect". Sometimes it's best just to forge ahead with a WIP, rather than agonising over slightly mismatched seams or a fabric pairing that you're not 100% sold on. Once you've sewn that last bit of binding, the euphoria of a completed quilt will totally outweigh any niggling doubts you had along the way. With that in mind – happy sewing! Join us online… we love…

This issue's theme is my kind of theme! I'm going to share with you some of my favourite tips for sewing the rainbow. Saturated Sweets I love using bright and bold colours, but I've been burned in the past by my enthusiasm for vivid hues. Have you ever been so excited about a particular colour palette that you quickly stitched up a project, then when you stepped back to finally look at what you made, the colours were just too much? Um, yeah me too. This is one of the reasons test blocks are so important! But instead of abandoning our love of big and bold colour, let's try to use saturated shades in a more palatable way. I saw this colour combo on Pinterest, and I just love how…

I WANT MY WORK TO SPEAK TO AS MANY DIFFERENT PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE You grew up travelling all over the world. How did that contribute to your career today? It totally shaped my whole outlook and channels directly into my work. It has kept me curious, fascinated and open to seeing how things operate in other places. I’ve lived in lots of places growing up (Australia, Canada, Singapore, Dubai, just to name a few) and travelled to lots more (such as Japan, India, New Zealand, Egypt, Kuala Lumpur, Bali and Gibraltar). The things I’ve seen and learned in other places keep my approach to work very inclusive – I like to make things that are accessible and that speak to as many different people as possible. I also like to…

I turn 40 this year (I know, I don’t look a day over 65!) and it’s got me thinking about some of the lessons I’ve learned. I’m a big lover of music and it’s a family tradition to pick a song to mark big occasions, so I’m thinking about the song I’ll pick to represent my 40th year on this amazing rock. When I turned 16 my father declared that The Rolling Stones’ ‘You Can’t Always Get What You Want’ was my song. The wisdom imparted in that song has served me well in the subsequent 24 years of my life! I find it quite apt when it comes to quilting – some of my greatest moments have come when I, for whatever reason, couldn’t get what I wanted. However,…
