About

Hey there! I’m Robyn (J) Cuthbertson, the creative mind behind Mini Makes—where quilting meets innovation in the most fun and unexpected ways! 

I'm a colour lover, thread addict and constant creator of crazy ideas at 3am! I love pushing the boundaries of thread and quilting, and exploring how it can combine with technology to create exciting new adventures.

With a background in engineering and physics, I’ve always been fascinated by the intersection of creativity and technology. I was on the path to earning a PhD in engineering, but had to step away for health reasons. While it felt like my life was ending at the time, it led me to the incredible world of quilting and now all I see is possibilities.

With Mini Makes, I’ve designed patchwork jewelry kits (and other fun crafty things) that let you create your own tiny textile masterpieces. Whether you’re a quilting pro or just dipping your toes into the world of fiber art, these kits make it easy (and super fun!) to craft something unique and wearable.

Quilting has such a rich traditions, and I love finding new ways to keep it fresh, exciting, and accessible to everyone. Thanks for stopping by—let’s get stitching!
