Board Game Adventures Quilt Design

 Today I completed phase one of designing my Board Games Adventures Quilt Design. 

I'm really happy with the result. 

It's a long way from being available for purchase though. People see a design image and think oh wow that must be available. But in truth designing the quilt is the easy part, it only takes about 12 to 24hrs for me. However the next phase is pattern book drafting and pattern optimisation which is a much more time consuming phase! Then of course the pattern needs testing, editing etc. 

It takes me years to get designs saleable!

Are Orphan Blocks Wasting Space in Your Studio!

Then get to work sewing them in to quilts for donations, gifts or just to display or snuggle under!

I have drafted a booklet that can help you learn to make the best of any number of orphan blocks and it is FREE to download!

To give you an idea of what is inside here are the first 5 pages of the 49 page booklet:

Sew Day

I usually only get one day a week in my sewing studio and ordinarily I like to focus on my own big projects but today it was a catch up day instead. 

I crossed four jobs off my to-do list. 

  1. Tote Bags x3
  2. Dog jacket repair
  3. Microwave heat pack 
  4. New dog jacket for Betty

The tote bags turned out well:


The dog jacket repair: 


The dog jacket was originally made with scraps from a project, then was worn every winter for twelve years by our spoodle (he passed late last year) and is now worn by Jordy our Pomeranian x border terrier foster dog.

The microwave rice pack:


And I made our foster chihuahua Betty a new dog jacket because she only had one and I wanted a spare for wash days. I forgot to get a good photo of her teal scrappy dog jacket but here she is almost snoozing in it.

Australiana Adventures Monthly Pattern Test

I am currently hosting the Australiana Adventures BOM so each month I need to pattern test a quilt block. This month I pattern tested the cockatoo block!
This quilt is slowly coming together one block at a time and will be so cute when it is completed!

There's so much unique wildlife in Australia, it is great to be able to share some Australiana with the quilty community I have built in my private BOM Facebook group.
