Wavy Slice – A New Pantograph Design
DIARY A quiet place to share work away from the hustle of social media… I’ve been making a lot of new pantographs and Wavy Slice is one of my favourites. It’s an offshoot of Slice, which is part of the 100 Day Pantograph Design Challenge. I’ll be putting this on a quilt any minute now, […]
100 Days of Pantograph Design Challenge
Have you ever done a 100 day challenge? The concept is that you create something every day for 100 days to “explore the impact of daily repetition on creative output”. I’m in the middle of one right now, called the #100daypantodesignchallenge, run by @thequiltingmill on Instagram. I’m up to about day 30 (I’ve lost count already) […]

I was humbled that people wanted to learn techniques that I was using. It went really well! I received several offers to teach afterwards, and was even […]
