Hello and welcome!
Stitch and Yarn is for makers who love bold colour, striking geometry and the flow of creating.
I’m Tara Glastonbury, a designer based in Melbourne (Naarm), Australia.
My patterns are for quilters who enjoy the process as much as the finish – who want to make something unique, not necessarily fast. Some designs use upcycled materials, others don’t, but all are built with a focus on strong visual impact and thoughtful fabric choices –created with a designer’s eye for form and composition.
If you’re looking for patterns that challenge, inspire, and help you create something truly distinctive, you’re in the right place.
