It was a long, long time ago when I decided to make an Aerial Grove Quilt. I fell in love with this pattern by Carolyn Friedlander from her book - Savour Each Stitch back in October 2016. I was smitten - I knew after reading the book from cover to cover that this was a quilt that I wanted to make for myself. First part was getting to choose all the fabrics I was going to use for my Needle turn "squircles". I went through my Liberty fabric stash and pulled out all the ones that made me so happy in a Rainbow colour way. Cutting up this many Liberty squares actually took a while - to cut, press and then fold back up all these fabrics. It also made a wonderfully beautiful mess in my sewing room. Next up was deciding what fabrics I was going to use for the backgrounds of this quilt. I wanted the quilt to go on our Bed, so although I had picked some very girly Liberty fabrics I then decided to try to make it more something also that my hubby would love on the bed too. As a big lover of Denim and Chambray fabrics I had the perfect variety of lots of different prints and types of these Denims and Chambray's left from projects that I had already made. So, so far - I used the Liberty fabrics from my stash and the Denims/Chambray's also came from what I already had. Some of the Denims and Chambray's I used are below Art Gallery - Bombazine Inspired Art Gallery - Casted Loops Gertrude Made Essentials - Texas Denim Gertrude Made Essentials - Chambray Robert Kaufman - Essex Yarn Dye - Indigo Sevenberry - Royal Chambray Dots Sevenberry - Royal Chambray Stars I then spent the next year hand sewing all the squircles into place. The pieces even came on our Family Cruise in December 2017 to Vanuatu. I had already basted down the Liberty squircles so this made the strips very portable and easy to take with me places when I had a chance to stitch. Early in 2018 I had finally finished the hand sewing of all those squircles and began to piece together the strips and background pieces of Denims and Chambray's. I began to build the quilt out using all the pieces of the Denims and Chambray's I had chosen to use. I was aiming for this to be quite large and worked it up to be 2.2m x 2.2m so big enough for our Queen size bed. I knew very early on that I was going to Hand quilt this quilt. So I also cut the pieces for the blocks with this in mind so that I could use lots of smaller blocks to create the hand quilting design rather than leaving fabric pieces in larger squares and rectangles. In between the Denims and Chambray's I placed a few background blocks in Liberty fabrics to draw cohesion from the Liberty squircles that were in the centre. Next I sent the Quilt off to my Long Arm Quilter. Because I knew this was a project that was going to take me a while to work on I had the quilt Basted. This would save me not only basting such a large Quilt myself but then I would not have to deal with the weight of the number of pins I knew this quilt would need for hand quilting. The next task was to collect up all the Thread I was going to use for the Hand quilting - this was the easy part - Aurifil 12wt. I chose about 8 different blue 12wt Thread colours and then matched each the fabrics to one of these colours so that I knew which fabric would be matching to which colour thread. With all my tools ready for Hand quilting - I then started what I knew would be a long and rewarding process. Over the years I have hand quilted many quilts - I love hand quilting, I find it relaxing and such a worthwhile way to add such a beautiful texture and feel to your quilt. If you have wanted to give hand quilting a go or already love this part of quilting and would like some extra tips - here is a Blog post I wrote all about - My Favourite Hand Quilting Tools. Here you will find some helpful tips and tricks. I used a variety of different Masking tapes - 1/4in, 1/2in and 1inch tapes to help create the spaced lines which went horizontally, vertically or diagonally randomly throughout each background block. Once I could see the finish line almost in sight for all the hand quilting, I then went back to my Liberty stash and found some Binding that would go perfectly for that finishing touch to the quilt. Aren't Binding Babies ever so cute - always the perfect way to store your Bindings and so very helpful when it comes time to sew the Binding onto your Quilt. The Backing I choose to use for the Quilt - well that took a long time to decide what to go with. My first initial though was that I wanted to use Liberty. I knew that was an extravagant way to use this fabric and it was for the backing so I tried to work through other options. I looked at Widebacks, lots of different Chambray's and Denim options, I tried looking at yardage of regular Quilting cottons that I thought might work. It wasn't working for me. I had spied this Liberty Betsy in Denim from Ava and Neve and then just could get this out of my head to use this. While it certainly was a luxury - I figured that this was going to be our quilt, all the fabric for the top had come from my stash and mostly I knew I would have regretted not using it. Within the first 10 seconds of opening up the package of the yardage of this Betsy I knew I had made the right decision. This Liberty was going to hand quilt up a dream, be so soft and have a much lighter weight to the overall quilt - especially as I had used the Denims and Chambray's on the front which are a little heavier than regular quilting cottons. I was in love! So all in all this quilt took about 2 years to make from beginning to end. Certainly a wonderful journey in hand sewing and hand quilting. Happy Quilting Jemima x

The product series is named after the Flower Power movement, its form and pop sensibility capture the spirit of the time. Still in manufacture today we are pleased to offer these high quality reproductions. The lamp’s simple design consisting of two semi-circle spheres facing each. A suspended internal cup covers the direct light of the bulb and creates a even reflecting glow around the 'pot' shade base.

Another back to school season has just wrapped up here in Australia and as always, I LOVE stickybeaking into my beautiful BFFs’ classrooms for a new school year! As the OG Queen of classroom decor trends, I’m often asked for advice - not only when it comes to which of my decor packs to use, but also how to style them, too! Using some of my new packs along with the incredible classrooms from my community this year, I wanted to help show you what’s possible with my resources - including everything from a boho classroom to a space using eucalyptus classroom decor! Here’s the top 5 trends I’ve seen from back to school, and how you can recreate the look in your own space. Spotty Brights Classroom Decor - @learningwithmiss_campbell BFFs, my jaw literally DROPPED when I saw this bright and beautiful classroom created by @learningwithmiss_campbell! She’s embraced a colourful palette for her Grade 2 classroom this year and used my Spotty Brights Decor Pack for a minimalistic, on-trend space that’s still plenty of fun for her little learners. I love how she’s repurposed my Spotty Brights Binder Covers & Spines to create this organisation system for her home reader books! After almost two years of remote learning for some teachers, it’s no surprise that colourful, serotonin-filled spaces have become one of the most popular classroom decor trends of this back to school season. “I can’t even imagine having a bad day at school when I’ve got this to look at.” - @learningwithmiss_campbell Recreate This Look: Spotty Neutral Classroom Decor - @teachingwithmissamanda Show me a teacher who doesn’t love a neutral palette… I’ll wait! If there’s one thing I’ve learned over almost a decade of following (and sometimes setting) classroom decor trends, it’s that neutral tones will never go out of style. Perfect for both early years and older students, a neutral classroom ticks all the right boxes when it comes to a stylish, modern space that you’ll look forward to spending time in every day! @teachingwithmissamanda has always been a fan of my neutral, earthy decor and so her classroom and my new Spotty Neutrals pack was honestly a match made in heaven! Amanda is teaching first grade this year after three years of teaching prep, and I just know her students’ eyes widened in amazement that first day they walked into their beautiful neutral classroom. One of my favourite things about a neutral classroom? It’s super versatile not only across year levels, but seasons, too! It’s easy to make this space feel summery or wintery by adding things like indoor plants, cushions, rugs and fairy lights. “ I am sooo excited for this new adventure with my new 20 little sidekicks!” - @teachingwithmissamanda Recreate This Look: Spotty Boho Classroom Decor What do you get when you combine the super-trendy spotty theme with my OG best-selling rainbow boho classroom decor? Spotty Boho of course! Perfect for teachers who love the boho look but want something fresh, Spotty Boho is the best of both worlds. The muted rainbow palette is really popular with students and the spots just give it that minimalistic pop of something interesting! I’ve had a really strong response to this new pack and wouldn’t be surprised if this is one of the classroom decor trends that sticks around for 2023 and beyond. Recreate This Look: Boho Rainbow Classroom Decor There’s just something about boho classroom decor that will always have a soft spot in my heart, and judging by the classroom set ups I’ve been tagged in so far this year? You all feel the exact same way! Where is this decor style shifting? The boho colour palette. Taking its cues from the bright rainbow colours of Spotty Brights, the boho classroom incorporates a wider variety of colours using my new Boho Rainbow 2.0 decor. A quick tip - if you’ve downloaded my original Boho Rainbow bundle? Then some great news for you, BFF - you can download this new theme, completely free! Recreate This Look: Eucalyptus Classroom Decor - @young.minds.bloom If you’re one of those people who love spending time outside, then botanical-inspired or eucalyptus classroom decor will be right up your alley! Tegan has been using my Botanical Decor Pack for two years now to create this gorgeous, tranquil sanctuary in her classroom. This year, she put a new spin on this pack to create an Aussie Animals theme and I am obsessed! Eucalyptus classroom decor can tie into a lot of your curriculum and gives a lot of opportunities for cute reading group names, too. #JustSaying Watch the video below for a look at Tegan’s classroom and tell me you aren’t already rushing to recreate this in your own space! Recreate This Look: There you have it, BFFs! Every time I think I’ve seen the world’s most beautiful classrooms, you all step up and create incredible spaces that any kid would love to learn in each day. Can’t wait to see what my northern hemisphere teachers come up with a little later this year - I have a feeling they will be just as incredible, watch this space! In the meantime, if you’re looking for more classroom inspiration? I’ve saved some of my favourite set ups to my Instagram highlights. Come check them out (my tagged photos are also a good place to lurk if you’re keen!)
