LIMITED OFFER $47 (normally $97)
looking to enter the quilting industry through quilt design but you don't know what would work for quilts
dreaming of writing your own quilt pattern but you're worried your ideas aren't good enough
who wants to diversify or strengthen their product offerings but you're not sure you have enough ideas to follow through
I know how you feel…
that pressure to come up with an ‘original idea’…
is my design good enough?
who am I to be designing?
I’m not good enough to share my work…
been there my friend!
I’m a designer, entrepreneur and online-educator originally from Australia, currently based just outside Verona, Italy.
I am passionate about making design accessible to all.
I truly believe that we are uplifted by using, making, touching and looking at well-designed objects and thoughtful environments.
Whether it is by creating quilt patterns, or sewing quilts for a loved one, or even curating objects and books that represent you and make you feel at home in your skin and in your place in the world.
I am a true hunter of ideas – I love re-imagining what a synthesis or combination of ideas might look like. A kind of a mad-scientist, experimenting and always learning.
I love gathering inspiration through sketching and taking photos and translating that into digital formats and mixed media.
Let me guide you on a design journey.
Grabbing that ol’ fear by the horns and showing it what for is possible.
Stop worrying, stop overthinking it, start designing.
Who knows what ideas will pass you by if you don’t get started now.
Who knows who will hit publish on that quilt pattern idea before you, and next time you’re scrolling, you’ll stop and gasp and say
DAMMIT! I SHOULD HAVE posted my quilt pattern first.
THIS IS KEY if you want to become a successful quilt pattern designer.
A one and done is all well and good, but when those doubts come knocking again (can you REALLY come up with another good idea…???) you need to be prepared.
ENTER….
The SKETCH to STITCH Workshop

AND
You have the confidence that you’ll be able to do it again and again and again.
Any successful quilt pattern design business is built on being able to consistently come up with unique quilt pattern design ideas.
I had an amazing experience in Ally's session.
Her engaging approach and emphasis on creativity sparked new ideas and helped me develop a unique perspective on quilt design while encouraging a new process for creating.
The session is a great way to break free from any creative blocks and ensure that you create a truly one-of-a-kind design.
I’d encourage you to join in on this session for anyone looking to potentially ""AI-proof"" their quilt blocks and push their quilting design skills to the next level. Rated 5 out of 5"
