I was introduced to the idea of scrap quilting yearsssss ago when I purchased a magazine titled ‘scrap quilts’. I could sew 🪡 🧵 but had never heard of quilting. I’ve still got this issue and it’s my favourite magazine. A few years later I stumbled across a blog titled ‘Quiltville’s Quips & Snips’ and was introduced to this world of traditional quilt making, deboning shirts, vintage sewing machines, leaders & enders, scrap user system and mystery 🔎quilts. Roll on a few more years (like last month) and Bonnie Hunter sails ⛴️ into Wellington, seriously, she did!! I had an opportunity to say hi 👋 and worked my magic… (blog link in comments) #

As promised…. Ta da!!!! My customer loves her quilt. Lots and lots of William Morris fabric in this one. She chose a clamshell pantograph which sets it off beautifully. Apologises for the unstylish pic 🫣 I forgot to take a pretty one for instagram 🦚

Wow!!! My first commission quilt! 🦚I was asked a few months ago to make a special quilt for a young lady’s 8th birthday. It was gifted to her yesterday so I can now reveal this quilt to you all. She absolutely loves it as does her Mum. Double win!! 🥰
