Starry Starry Night

 

This is another one of my personal designs, Starry Starry Night. I went a bit overboard with the crystals on this one! But it really is a quilt that I'm never tired of and I love teaching it. Yes, it is all pieced.

Mystery Quilt for August - Drunkards Path

The Mystery Quilt for August was a Drunkards Path in Red and White. I usually try to precut for the mystery classes so when everbody arrives they can get stuck into sewing. I sometimes cut for days, I even cut in my sleep.

The curved drunkards path blocks were cut with my new Go! Fabric Cutter. It makes my cutting life alot easier! But we didn't get a photo of that, just the Jeannie cutter.

I wish I was as ordered as my pupils!

I think everyone achieved great results with this mystery quilt.

The Quilt Genie Studio

Welcome to The Quilt Genie blog, from my studio where it all happens. I plan to post updates on our creative endeavours and share a little bit of the life of a quilt genie.

Here's a photo of my most popular pattern to date.

Forest Tapestry

I loved designing this one based on the beautiful native fern, an symbolic emblem for NZ. I wanted to represent the 4 stages of the fern's life, from the first unfurling of the koru fronds through to the last dying leaves. Its quite popular with tourists visiting NZ and with locals who want to send a quilt overseas to family and friends that has a flavour of NZ.
