Welcome to a fresh and different approach to making quilts. An approach that will empower  both beginning quiltmakers and the very experienced  to make quilts that are precise, exact and at the same time undeniably linked to each quiltmaker’s inherent colour sense and artistic viewpoint. Your quilts will no longer reflect what the quilting business wants to sell you, but your own choices from among the many, many wonderful choices the industry presents, coupled with your own designs from the multitude of traditional block and appliqué patterns that have stood the test of time. 

Every month I will make  available to you  fresh articles that will help you in choosing colours, choosing fabric, choosing “must-have” notions from among the literally thousands of choices in the marketplace, and new tips to help your quiltmaking become the great joy it is to so many people, and at less cost and effort for you too. 

As well, I will post new lessons for beginners and some simple techniques for all of us , and details about a chance to work in such a way that you get it right the first time, every time – no more picking out seams and starting over! 

I just completed a practice piece for the new website and as usual am floored by how quickly and precisely it came together. It is a hotpad approximately 12 inches square, and from cut-out and marked pieces to bound and quilted, including time to photograph all the steps and edit my pictures, it only took one evening. So empowering! If I can do it, you can too and if you can do it once, then you know how and can do it every time! 

All this and a chance to post your quilt pictures on a photo gallery, exchange ideas and ask me  for help on your very own “Member’s Exchange” page, or directly to me via email if you’d rather a few  private tips.
