Tell us about your creative background and how you first got interested in quilting. My childhood was filled with ballet. I loved it for its beautiful forms, music and imagination. I also loved that it combined that beauty with a demanding precision. After high school I studied fashion in San Francisco and eventually opened my own designer maternity boutique. I enjoyed most aspects of having my own business, but choosing the colours and shapes of the clothes was the very best part. When this business floundered after the 2008 recession, I decided to start something new with my latest hobby. It was a little window of opportunity with few risks and many upsides, so I decided to step through. Although my mom is a creative person, I didn’t learn sewing…

USING YOUR TEMPLATES 1 Use the Hexagon Log Cabin Centre template to fussy cut the fabric you would like to feature at the centre of your block (Fig 1). You can use a rotary cutter, or trace around the template and then cut out with scissors. The template includes a ¼in seam allowance, so use the dashed line to see which parts of the fabric will show on your final block. 2 Trim strips of fabric to 1½in wide. You will sew the strips around the centre hexagon, and use the Hexagon Round template to trim the strips as you work. If you're not confident with your seams, you can cut slightly wider strips and also trim across the top of the template as you add the strips in steps…

Let’s talk scraps. Love them or hate them, there’s no way around them. They multiply, seemingly overnight, with every project cut into, and sometimes they just plain stress me out. How small is too small? Will I actually use this someday? Should I just throw it out? But isn’t that a waste? I’ve been quilting for six years now, and it took me the better part of five of those years to finally get a grasp of how to work with scraps. My old method of dealing with them was a bit of an “out of sight, out of mind” approach. I’d toss them in a storage bin, pat myself on the back for not wasting money by tossing them in the trash instead and then promptly ignore them. Over…

I live in New York City (the city that infamously never sleeps) and I often find myself caught up in the go, go, go mentality. Even when it comes to quilting, I have to remind myself to slow… it… down. As someone who hand-sewed everything (both quilting and piecing) up until just a couple of years ago, my recent purchase of a sewing machine has been a blessing and a curse. On the plus side, I get to tackle lots of different projects. On the downside, I often feel overwhelmed by how many things I want to make. So, in the spirit of creating time to savour the process, here are five ways I like to help myself to slow it down: 1 HAND QUILT Not quite ready to say…
