Did you think I’d gone for good?! I didn’t mean to leave a whole two months between posts (the longest I’ve ever left in nearly a decade!) but I was working on a really big project that took all my time and energy (there’ll be more info on this in the New Year) and this …
Ta-dah!! It’s finished and revealed! I’m delighted to share my Vintage Home BOM quilt with you today. The latest issue of Today’s Quilter (number 41) is out today and as well as featuring yet another stunning Lynne Goldsworthy cover quilt, you will also find instructions for completing the Vintage Home quilt. I’ve kept the setting …
Amazingly we have arrived at the final month of our Vintage Home BOM Quilt Along already! I think one of the reasons it seems to have come around so much quicker than expected is due to the fact that I missed the blog post for month 11 – ooops! Sorry about that! This year August …
What an exciting week I am having! First up you can hear me talking to the adorable Pat Sloan on the American Patchwork and Quilting Radio Podcast! I felt so honoured to be asked to chat to Pat on her show. Through the Aurifil DOM and the Splendid Sampler 2 projects that we’ve been working …

We are moving into the sewing room for month 9 of the Today’s Quilter Vintage Home BOM Quilt Along! I hope this will be a fun month for everyone. The row of spools above is such a nice quick project, and it’s a lovely way to showcase different prints. And then we have two button …
It’s that time of the month again – phew the weeks seem to speed by at the moment! Yes it’s month 8 of the Vintage Home BOM Quilt Along, and we have finally moved out of the kitchen and found ourselves a little light. This month’s blocks are a table lamp, complete with pleated shade, …
I am delighted to share my Colour Box Quilt today! It’s a pattern in the latest issue (61) of Love Patchwork and Quilting magazine and I got a lovely surprise when it arrived this week to find that it had made the cover! Even more so because I thought it was destined for issue 62! …
I can’t believe how well timed this month’s Vintage Home BOM Quilt Along block is!
