The Quilting Room with Mel

Hi, I'm Tanya, the quilter behind Our Little Handmade Home. I share beginner-friendly quilt blocks, step-by-step quilting tutorials, and simple projects designed to help you build confidence with your sewing machine. My goal is to make quilting feel accessible and relaxing, whether you're learning your very first block or growing your skills one project at a time. If you enjoy clear instructions, classic quilt blocks, and practical projects you can actually finish, you’ll feel right at home here.

For over a decade, Make Modern has inspired quilters in 70+ countries around the globe. Independently published by a team of dedicated Australian women, each issue of our magazine is a treasure trove of patterns, articles, and interviews with quilters. Accessible digitally, read on-the-go, on holidays, and reference patterns while shopping! With no physical storage needed, easy navigation, and eco-friendly delivery, it's a win-win-win! Come and join our global community of passionate crafters!

Westmoreland Place is about creativity. I like to make things and catalogue my journey - from quilts, bags, home decor and accessories, to surface pattern designs and blog posts. Subscribe to my newsletter!

I love to teach how to sew, alter and rework your clothes to fit YOU - your way, your style. If you are looking to create a wardrobe that fits you and you have some basic sewing skill, you're in the right place. Subscribe to learn about why it's hard to find clothes that fit your body, and (this is the fun part) what you can do about it. It might not even be as hard as you think!
