"Threadbare Creations" celebrates its 8th birthday this month, so I wanted to design a free project for you, as a way of saying thank you for all the wonderful support I have received since starting this little business back in 2006. I prefer to piece small blocks but I decided to design a mini quilt using a large 16" block. The Crown of Thorns block is my all time favorite, so I adapted it slightly, by adding a Crystal Star block to the centre to create, the Star Cluster Mini Quilt: This is…

I'm going to dive straight into today's post because I'm super excited to show you my new monthly mini quilt pattern. You've already seen a few sneak peeks of this quilt in my Paper Piecing Tips and Tricks tutorial but the full reveal is worth its own drumroll.

Lone Star quilts are gorgeous as they are, but I envisioned that centre star bursting from the quilt…

Last week I shared my step by step tutorial for the gorgeous Log Cabin block, and I'm sure you've been sewing up a storm and made a huge pile of your own blocks. ;) So, what now?

It may be a simple block, but it creates…

Before I started this months blog series, I reached out to some of my favorite Australian designers and asked if they'd like to share any quilts or patterns they'd designed using the Churn Dash block - which is a real treat for my blog I must say! There were a few ladies who have used this Classic Quilt Block in very unique ways, and they agreed to share their work with you and tell you why they chose the Churn Dash block for their projects. In my introduction post I showed you some gorgeous…

Mini quilts may be small in size, but they're super fun to sew! They're a fast finish with less commitment and every month I add a new design to my pattern family to tempt you! It's time for a new mini quilt design and this month I'd like to welcome the stunning Guinevere to my pattern family! When I first showed my husband the draft of this design, he suggested she deserved a strong name - something regal and noble - so we named her Guinevere. The choice of fabrics for this little quilt was…
