One of the best things about quilts (other than the fabrics and never being short of warmth) is the fact that they’re for everyone. From tiny baby quilts to warming wheelchair quilts; quilts for student houses; quilts for newly married couples; dare we say it… quilts for beloved pets; quilts to brighten up a new home; quilts to bring comfort away from home. Quilts connect us. They’re the ultimate hug, no matter who you are. You may have noticed our new Quilting is for Everyone statement below. It’s our commitment to create a magazine that’s inclusive of everyone in the wonderful world of quilting.

It’s hard to say if there is anything I love more than putting on my pyjamas. After a long day, when I’m curled up watching Netflix in my jammies underneath a quilt, I am completely and utterly content. But while these things keep me squarely in my comfort zone, sometimes I want to do… MORE! When I think about what fully lights me up inside, it’s always when I experience something that shakes up my routine (in a good way, of course). When I step out of my comfort zone, I feel the thrill of doing something new. And when I set quilting goals that stretch my limits, I feel the same way. LET'S DEFINE A QUILTING GOAL A quilting goal is anything that you establish as a quilty challenge…

To cut the Equilateral Triangles from your coloured fabric 6in strips, place your template or ruler with the bottom and top flat edges (otherwise known as the base and top) aligned with the long edges of your fabric strip. Cut along both sides of the triangle, then use the template to trim the corners (Fig 1). Turn the template 180-degrees, lining it up with the angled edge at the side, and cut along the right side, as shown in Fig 2. Continue working your way down the strip, rotating the template between each cut, until you have the desired number of triangles.…

What’s the story behind the name ‘Toad & Sew’? The name Toad & Sew was inspired by the apparel company Toad & Co. I saw their name once and loved it so much because I have a rescue dog named Toad. This was before I had a business – even before I started quilting for that matter. Once I realised I wanted to start writing patterns, I immediately knew what I wanted to name my brand. You’ve stated before that your grandmother taught you how to sew when you were young. What’s your earliest sewing memory? I used to spend a couple of weeks every summer with my Grandma as a child and some of my first memories of sewing were sitting on her lap as she helped me push…

HPA TO QUILT WITH A AALIINA FOOT Walking foot quilting allows you to experiment with various threads and different designs to create interesting patterns and textures using straight lines. Once you get the hang of this useful technique you can then use your new-found walking foot quilting skills to add an extra dimension to your quilted projects – perfect for quilts, placemats or coasters MARKING AND PLANNING YOUR DESIGN 1 Temporarily mark your fabric to guide your stitch lines. If you are using a Hera marker, you may want to wait until your quilt is basted to mark it, as the lines will show up more clearly after this. For pens and chalk it is easier to mark the fabric when it is on a hard surface. Use a quilting…

How did you first get into quilting I was actually in my first year of Fashion Design school and my cousin was pregnant. I wanted to make something for her so I decided, “I’ll make a baby quilt!” Sure, I had sewing experience, I’m self-taught, but I had never made a quilt. I cut nine 9in squares from some fabric and just went at it. For being my first-ever quilt, it turned out really well! It wasn’t until 2020, when I started seeing so many beautiful quilts on Instagram, that I really got into quilting…and since then I haven’t looked back! What do you look for when selecting a new quilt pattern to work on? It first starts with the type of project I want to make. Once I know…

Walking foot (sometimes called an even feed foot): This foot feeds the fabric from the top and bottom so it keeps your quilt sandwich securely together. Some sewing machines will be able to handle minimal quilting without one, but a walking foot is a good investment if you want to do anything more than just a few simple straight lines. Thread: It is up to your personal preference whether you want quilting stitches that ‘disappear’ into the quilt or a heavier thread that stands out and is a feature. Practise with different threads on scraps to see the different effects given by different weight threads. Needle: Use a brand new quilting needle when you begin. A sharp point is essential when sewing through the quilt layers. Choose your thread first,…
