Tilda Plum Garden Showcase


Tilda fans will once again be excited with the release of the brand new collection - Plum Garden.  Very true to style - these sweet florals and delicate prints have been paired with wonderful blenders for this new range.  Featuring sweet florals, little ducks and paisley prints, Plum Garden will be a Tilda lovers dream. Thanks to Tilda Australia and 2 Green Zebras for asking me to Showcase these beautiful fabrics.


I was immediately drawn to the blue fabrics in this range and so paired them up with some of the Tilda Tiny Dots to make a Baby version of my Big Blocks Quilt.  So fresh and modern for any baby or toddler.  



Big Blocks Quilt is a pattern designed to showcase your fabrics to the max while making your quilt in a flash.  The size of the blocks means you have a quilt together in not time and perfect to show off beautiful prints such as these Plum Garden fabrics.  In the Plum Garden collection is this really lovely Dot print called - Tilda Plum Dot Dove White.  This made the perfect fabric for the back of this Baby Quilt.



I love the mix of scale in these prints from tiny florals to larger blooms and paisley.



Just perfect for a new little arrival or as a quilt for a Toddler - this Big Blocks Quilt is just so precious in these Tilda Plum fabrics.  



Tilda Plum Garden is in stores now

Big Blocks Quilt Pattern Release


Introducing my newest Quilt pattern - BIG BLOCKS!


After the release of Quilt Big, I even more realised the value you guys hold in blocks that come together very quickly to give you results fast.  I get it - our sewing time is precious so when you get the time to Quilt and sew you want to make it count and even more so when you need a project for a present pronto.

So I set about designing a block that would be big in size and fast on completing.  I also wanted it to have a small number of blocks to make in total, so playing with the sizing  became very important.  


Big Blocks is a great design to showcase your favourite fabrics.  You can use Fat Quarters or Bundles you have been hoarding in your stash.  This is also a great design to use up your scraps - so dive right in to your scrap bucket and make a dent.  You can change up the background from one Background colour to using up different fabrics for each block - really this pattern is so versatile.  Make is Rainbow order or choose a more limited colour palette - the sky is the limit and this will become a firm favourite when you need a go to quilt to make.


This version was made using up fabrics from my hoarded Carolyn Friedlander Stash.  I used three main colours - Teal, Orange and Mustards along with a different fabric for each background in each block.



This version was made using Tula Pink Solids and the Fairy Dust print from her Pinkerville Range for the Background.





This really is a fun and fast Quilt to make - the pattern includes 3 sizes - Baby, Lap and Queen sizes.  Also included is a Colouring Sheet so you can plan out your chosen fabrics and colours.


This pattern is also available to wholesale customers through Creative Abundance (who stock and distribute my patterns internationally)

Happy Quilting
