Work it out Texas-based quiltmaker and natural dyer Maura Ambrose has had one of her works immortalised as a jigsaw puzzle. She collaborated with Canadian jigsaw publisher Four Points Puzzles, which focusses on producing jigsaws that showcase contemporary artists from around the world. Maura agreed to the collaboration because the company founder, Lindsay Stead, has a background in textile design, specifically quilting. In an interview, Maura explained, “It’s cool to have my work turned into a puzzle. It’s nice having an affordable product to offer, since my quilts are very involved and therefore costly.” The 1000-piece puzzle measures 63.5cm (25in) square upon completion. It features a quilt that Maura made in 2018 from fabrics that she had hand-dyed using substantive dyes, such as indigo, cochineal, walnut hulls and onion skins,…

Refer to the Fabric Key for the specific fabrics Rachelle used in her project if you wish to create a quilt identical to hers.

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. Shops 2 & 3, 53 Alawa Cres. ALAWA NT 0810 p.

Q: How do you interact with the online community? In what way do you communicate and share with quilters and/or other industry associates? A: I have had both Facebook and Instagram for quite a while now but have only started developing more of an online presence in the last few years, especially in the past 12 months. It is a time-consuming process and something that wasn’t really a huge priority for me. I also have a YouTube account where I share quilting videos. When COVID hit in 2020, all my face-to-face classes were cancelled, and therefore so was my income. I had a website half developed that had been sitting there for a couple of years, but there never seemed to be enough time to dedicate to it. I had…
