Gezellig Studio

I’m beyond excited to share that Natasja Bischoff and I have a show at Assembly Gallery this month!

BUILT + QUILT opens this Friday, August 7 between 7 and 10 PM at 486 Barton St. East. All are welcome to attend!

When we were installing the show, I was blown away by how our work reflects and compliments one other.

Natasja is inspired by the generations of artists and builders in her Dutch-Indonesian family. I’m also the kid of Dutch immigrants and I’m reflecting on life transitions in these quilts.

Here are some sneak peeks of the show. We would absolutely love if you can come see it in person!

When my mom passed away in November, I knew I had to take a road trip this summer to her favourite spot in PEI. So we packed up the van last week and ventured east with our anxious rescue dog, Stevie. (Of course I had to bring my lobster bib for a photo op!)

We’ve had the best time, visiting family and friends along the way. Stevie discovered she loves the ocean (she even got her paws wet) and horses (who knew?!?)

Best of all was seeing signs of my mom everywhere. Thinking of her reminded me to stop and delight in the smallest of things.

I miss her immensely, but my heart is full. Until next time, PEI ❤️🦞

More quilts all ready for next month! This is definitely going to be a quilt-heavy show for me. Haha!

These are whole-cloth quilt tops that I design, have printed and then quilt. They are abstract, but each one is inspired by a song and these two are “Total Eclipse of the Heart” and “You Spin Me Round.”

I’ll see you soon, Picton!

I’m bringing a bunch of my song-inspired wholecloth quilts to as well! These two are “ABC” and “The Circle Game.”

I haven’t made these in a while, so it was fun to work on them again. They make for great baby quilts or wall hangings!

I don’t usually have many off-cuts from my quilts, but I had quite a few scrappy pieces leftover from the lobster bib I recently made (so many design changes!). So I decided to piece them together, improv style, and this is the result!

Everything in this quilt, including the batting, binding and thread, is made of scrap. My designs tend to be pretty exacting and they require a lot of math, so this was a freeing experience, creatively. And it felt really good to use up what I had.

I’ll be bringing this scrappy guy with me to next month!

Another class in the books! And just look at these gorgeous quilts (and beaming smiles). Most of these students had not used a sewing machine in years and now they’re quilters. I can’t wait to see what they sew next!

Countdown is on! I’m lucky enough to be part of the Gather Spring MRKT again this year, which is held at the iconic Crystal Palace.

I’ll be joining incredible textile makers, artists, collectors and farmers at this unique, handmade market in beautiful Prince Edward County. I’ve included some photos from last year to give you a taste of what to expect. (So much talent!)

This isn’t exactly Easter/Passover-related, but I finished a quilt top today! I designed it years ago and I’m so happy to have finally made it.

It’s inspired by some tiles that I spotted on Pinterest (I think). I used them to create a layout of 12-inch blocks. Then I added narrow strips between the blocks (kind of like grout) so the shapes and colours wouldn’t blend in together.

The two green solids are Juniper and Pickle (I’m obsessed!), which I found at

I have some extra blocks (thanks to sizing mistakes 😬), which I plan to incorporate in the backing so nothing goes to waste.
