G’day from Australia, Blockheads!
Today we are going to do a little Cross Training. 😄
You can go to the gym and lift weights and do some cardio OR maybe try this weeks Blockheads Block and sew 4 crosses into a square!
What’s your choice? 😂
Either way, you’ll get some Cross Training done.
If you want to be a bit fancy with stripes, like I have, you can read my blog or watch my video in YouTube. The links are on my stories.
I hope you have fun with this one.
My blocks are finished so now I really am going to the gym, for a little cross training of the other type. I think I like the sewing one better though 🤭
Happy sewing everyone.

Meet the Gather & Go Bag.
Gather your hand sewing bits and bobs, in this bag, gather it up and flip the flap over and go!
This bag is made with Summer Solstice toweling and Wovens and once I had made one, I realised it was the perfect bag for my hand appliqué. So I made another one! One to travel around in a trunk show and one for me to use 😃
It’s quick, it’s useful, it has pockets and is the perfect size. 8” w x 4”d x 9” h.
Fabric due in April, the pattern is ready now.

Are you a knitter or into crochet?
Are your knitting needles and crochet hooks in a bag, making them hard to find?
Then you need this bag and needle storage roll.
Titled ‘Knit Happens’ this will keep your knitting gear tidy and accessible.
Made with Summer Solstice toweling and Wovens, fabric in stores in March.

Limoncello Spritz - not just the drink of summer but the table runner from Summer Solstice.
If you’re an appliqué fan then this one is for you. Fused or needle turn appliqué will work, just choose your favourite.

Applique on toweling is a match made in heaven. No stabiliser required because the toweling makes the most perfect background, the weight and texture is ideal.

Stores can order fabric and patterns now, so let your favourite know.

Fabric ships March.

Well that’s a wrap (pun intended) for the Summer Solstice quilts.
But wait, there’s more. 😃
I will be revealing the Summer Solstice toweling projects from tomorrow. I can’t wait to hate them with you.
Thanks for all the love and support on the quilts 💙💛🤍🩵

Thank you for all the beautiful comments on my new fabric line, Summer Solstice.
Now it’s time to introduce the projects I have made.
This first one is Sunwashed and it gives me all the feels of a balmy Summer afternoon.
I’m also excited to say that Moda have chosen to make this quilt available as a kit.
Let your local quilt store know if you would like a kit, as they are able to order them now.
Sunwashed measures 88” x 88”.
Fabric and kits will arrive in store in April.
