WONKY TOWERS 1 🤩🏘
Eagle's Nest was my first FPP Tower. A steep learning curve getting it all correct in the quilt design software.
And when I thought I had done it all the right, and tested the block.... a few unrepeatable words were said 🤣

Choosing the names was a FUN exercise👏🤓

AND THEN ....

I added a border to give it even a bit more of a vintage feeling 😃

SEWPHIA and AIHPWES 😁

When you know it's one of your favourite patterns before you even have it! So I had this plan to do a fun second one. Meet Aihpwes the Inverted Mirrored Sewphia 🤩

FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE 😃

From 10 -13 April, I was at the AQC 2025 in Melbourne. Invited to help on the Legit Kits(Eppiflex) stand and presenting a seminar on Legit kits patterns. Many like minded people and the best laughs 😂 Visiting the beautiful quilts in the exposition. So inspiring!

SHOWING I AM A FAN 💃

Excited! Next week I will be travelling from NZ to Australia to assist at the Australian Quilting Convention promoting Legitkits. What better way to show that I am a FAN than to walk around in a Legitkits pattern? 🤩

If you happen to visit the AQC, find me 😄

BLANKS ? 🙃

When buying a FPP pattern only, I like to play with the colours. I hardly ever do the same as the pattern. I mirror, change value, make colours brighter or duller.
And then I thought about my own patterns.....🤔

Should I add blanks to colour in?

NOT SURE 🤔

Procrastination, mindset not ready or not my favourite part...? Whatever the reason, my Wonky Towers have been in this state for months. Ready to be quilted but not really happening.
Could also be that I am excited about my new Halloween patterns 😁

Do you recognise this?

LAYOUT PUZZELING 😀

I loved playing around with the layout of these 16 Wonky Towers. Seeing what combination works the best colour, shape and wonky-ness wise. This is my row 1 of 4 blocks.

Do you puzzle on different layouts in your quilts?

WILL IT WORK ? 🤔

I am always a bit nervous to see if a block comes together as I imagined. And in stead of waiting till its finished I put all pieces together like this to have a 'sneak-peek". 👀

Most of the time I am happy, and sometimes it's a 'that will work' 😜

Do you do sneak-peeks?

HUGE FAN 😍

Next to creating my own digital Wonky Towers patterns, I am a huge fan of Legitkits FPP patterns. I started as a tester for them and now I am hooked. Buying pattern only gives me the freedom to play with colours.

Are you into mythical creatures?

EAGLES'S NEST 🦅

Can you really see Eagle's Nests from the top of this Wonky Tower? Depending where you imagine it's location. I like to fantasise about places and landscapes to 'build' the Towers in.
It's so much more then just making a pattern.

Do you let yourself wander sometimes?

FISHING 🦈

No I don't fish at all 🤣 This was a project for a school Art Action for my kids. Living near the sea a lot of the locals are into marlin fishing. I had great fun making this collage quilt and it sold nicely 🤑.

Have you made quilts to help a school?

PENTHOUSE STEPS 🥴

So funny what thoughts can do. While creating this pattern I couldn't help thinking that it would be an awful building to get your grocery bags into the house 🤣😂
Perfect to get a cardio in though...🏃‍♀️

Maybe subconscious I am missing steps in my house?
What do you think?

WITH OR WITHOUT ? 🤔

I did all my 16 Wonky Towers as you can see in the left side of the photo. Then someone suggested to try them with a bit more outline. ✏️
So I tried that as you can see on the right. It made the pattern more difficult but I like both versions.

What do you like best? 😃

LOGO FUN 🃏

Great fun creating my name and logo. Quippy means witty, taunting, characterized by quips. I thought it was fitting for my Wonky Towers style. 🏰
Orange and yellow are my fav colours and quilting is my life style. That all came together in the Logo.

Have you created your own?

SOARING PILLAR ⤴️

Loving the colours of this Wonky Tower. Finding scraps and combining is one of the things I love when creating these patterns. 😃

Do you use a lot of your scraps ?

COMBINATIONS 💖

This was the first time (in 2005) I did an applique on top of traditional bargello quilt pattern. I had fun using shiny fabrics for the Unicorn to get more tones in the whites.
I am still stoked with this quilt.

Do you combine different quilting techniques?

PILLOWS 😃

I rarely make small items when quitting. I really enjoyed making this for a friend. And the good thing is, I finished it all the way 💃

Do you create small quilting objects? 🎽🛍️

Driving a MUSTANG🚗

In 2023 I had fun making this quilt called Muscle car from Legitkits 👏
I made one mistake that only found out when finished and always see it when I look. Planning to fix it someday ...

Do you unpick if you see a mistake or just let it be?

CREATIVE EXPLORATION 🌟🏰

This is a pattern that I would describe as a ‘more boring’. Using colours that are not my favourite as well as using patterns that not exactly worked out. And in the end it makes a beautiful block.🎨

Do you use less favourite colours in your quilt?🎉

CHALLENGE 😜

I like to challenge myself. About 15 years ago the quilt group I was part of did a Bargello quilt. Of course I wanted to do it differently 🤪 Worked it out myself on a piece of paper. This is the result.
And yes.... one of my many unfinished quilts that 'only need quilting"

HEAVENLY STAIRS 🎨

This block has its own unique appeal. I loved the creative process of designing it. Live in this one and you don’t have to worry about getting enough exercise in. 🤣

Are you also a fan of creating 'free' exercise? (eg park far away from shops so you get your steps in)

Work In Progress 😅

Yep I do have a lot of WIP's. This collage quilt is one of them. I really love it and definitely want to finish it. But when ....? The list of WIP's is growing. So many exciting projects to do 🏃🏽‍♀️‍➡️🏃🏽‍♀️‍➡️

How many WIP's do you have? 👸🏻

Say hello to Pointy Sight! 🏰💛

This quilt pattern is one of my own favourites. My sewing room would definitely be at the top of the tower.😂
Such fun to make these FPP patterns.

What colours would you use?🎨
