"Metro Waves"

Let me introduce you to "Metro Waves".  Our first official Metro Series Quilt!

 This quilt was done up this last summer for Quilters Companion ~ Modern Edition Magazine an Australian Magazine.

This design, though not very original has been one I've wanted to do since coming up with the QCR.  It's a very simple and fun design to do up!  The pattern is available in the Magazine and I will also have one available in a few months.

I shared some close-ups of my quilting this last summer.


I believe the Magazine comes out in just a few days.  I know it is on it's way to me....but I haven't received it yet and I'm getting very anxious!

There will also be a spread about me as a designer in the magazine also!


When I was approached about having a quilt in their magazine,  I was completely surprised and excited.  One of my first Wholesale Orders was to a shop in Australia and since launching the QCR I have had such great support from Quilters in Australia.

I'll post more about the quilt and the Magazine Article when I have them both in my possession...but for now, I just wanted to share this exciting news, it's a first for me!

  1. Congratulations! This quilt is absolutely gorgeous - sometimes simple is better. The more I see of your quilts make with the Quick Curve Ruler, the more I want one. Do you know if it is stocked anywhere in New Zealand?

  32. what a fun quilt! Love it! Makes me wonder what it would look like if you sewed every other row the opposite - it would maybe be like a rolling wave?

  34. Hey congrats!!!! That is my favourite Australian magazine and you so totally deserve to published with a story about your incredible talent. You are an awesome quilter and designer....how about publishing a book on your longarming techniques and then coming here to Sydney, Australia to teach???????????
