• Use interfacing for the foundations — it remains in the quilt, so you don’t have to carefully tear away paper foundations behind each block. Don’t use the very lightest weight interfacing as it will shrink and frizzle when ironed. But, on the other hand, don’t use a heavy interfacing as it will make the quilt too heavy for comfort. Of course, you can use large sheets of paper for the foundations if you prefer — just tear it off once the blocks have been pieced. • Deborah uses a Sulky iron-on transfer pen (as shown). It enables you to trace the foundation pattern once and then transfer the pattern onto the interfacing multiple times. Deborah is usually able to transfer a pattern between nine and 12 times from just…

Kits and block of the month programs are popular choices for quilters for a number of reasons. How many times has a quilt caught your eye and you think “Wow I would love to make that exact same quilt with the same fabrics and colours”? When you buy a kit for a quilt you see you can do just that – make it exactly in the colours and fabrics you see. Kits also take the often difficult job of select fabrics and colours out of the equation. The hard part is done for you so you can just enjoy the sewing.

Australian Quilts in Public Places This exhibition aims to promote quilting as an art form by inviting quilters from around Australia to exhibit original works demonstrating their interpretation of a given theme. AQIPP is a juried, judged and sponsored exhibition. The most recent exhibition was presented in 2019. There were more than 60 quilts selected to be shown, with 150 people attending the opening night and more than 2000 visitors to the exhibition itself. The theme was Metamorphosis and many quilts made for a varied and exciting exhibition.

Where do you get your ideas for your quilt patterns? How many patterns have you designed? How and where do you sell them? I have always designed my own patterns and quilts, even when I was doing my beginner’s class I had three more quilts designed before that class was finished. I loved the mathematics, the designing, the colour selection and, of course, the sewing. I found everything about it fascinating. I’m not really sure where all my design ideas come from: sometimes they just pop into my head. A lot of them are designed for a class and then released as a retail pattern. I started publishing some of my patterns in magazines, but have always wanted to release a pattern range of my own. I design a lot…
