Handyman Adventures Quilt Design

I've spent a few weeks working on a handyman themed quilt design!

This design is only in the initial phase of my design process. 

Phase 1: Design the blocks and quilt layout

Phase 2: Collate the block patterns and draft the quilt book 

Phase 3: Pattern test 

Phase 4: Edit and order a book proof

Phase 5: Pattern book release

This process takes years because I have lots of designs in various phases of this process. 

BOOK LAUNCH

Eye Spy Adventures is the very popular pattern from my 2024/25 BOM

The Hexagon Adventures book includes the pattern layout for these two popular designs as well as 48 other quilt designs and several hexagon template sizes.

So it is a lifetime of hexagon EPP patterns that you can make in multiple sizes!

Australiana Adventures BOM - Join the fun!

There's still time to join my Australiana Adventures FREE foundation paper pieced BOM. 

We are making gum leaves this month. They are fairly quick and easy to make.

My background fabric is Painters Palette Aruba. I've made four of the eight gum leaves so far.

There's heaps of fun animal blocks to make for this project too!

There's a contact me email link in my blog left sidebar if you'd like to join the fun.
 

Eye Spy Adventures

Quilters are slowly finishing their quilt tops after my two year BOM Eye Spy Adventures

I really love my quilt, it's definitely in daily use ATM in our house. 

Initially I only designed this quilt so that I could publish a lot of block patterns that had not been published in any of my other quilt books. But I ended up falling in love with this quilt design by the time I finished making it. 

The book Eye Spy Adventures by Marianne Jeffrey is now available on Amazon if  you missed the BOM and would like to make this quilt.

Dog Jacket/Coat

 Today I made a new dog jacket for Betty! 

Betty is a rescued chihuahua that's been with us five months. The nights are getting colder here in Western Australia as winter approaches and we didn't have any jackets in her size, so I whipped up this one using scrappy improv pieced blocks from my ready made blocks pile for the patchwork. 

There's a dog jacket PDF tutorial available on my website:
