Teeny Tiny Thing - my very first pantograph
Here is the first time I put any quilting pattern of mine on an actual quilt. It was ages away from being released at this point. At the show where it won, a quilter commented that “Theres no overstitching. Anywhere, I looked.” I was so flattered.
The background to why I made Calm and Chaos, the quilt that bore it:
It was the Great NZ Lockdown of 2020. Aotearoa Quilters offered a 100 day project to help us navigate un charted waters of the pandemic. I chose 100 days of Improv, never imagining it would evolve into a class. If you’ve ever felt out of place and want a way to express that, come and play with me in Rotorua, NZ, May 2023.
