I thought you might like to see some photos of my first class (seeing as you have all been so sweet and encouraging about my new venture). I had 4 students (2 of whom were my friends!) so it was a nice gentle start. There were a few teething problems but they didn’t seem to …
I made this log cabin cot quilt for my Beginners Patchwork and Quilting evening class that starts in September (only one place left!). I just realised I have no idea of the size (and it’s at work in the craft studio so I can’t measure it), but it is maybe a bit big for a …
Do you remember this quilt? I went on about it quite a bit back in April / May. It is my eldest son Felix’s 21st birthday quilt (which I eventually named ‘The Colour Picker Quilt’) which I made while he was away travelling. Well it was his 21st birthday on Friday so he finally got …
I thought you would like to see some photos of our completed Bearpaw Craft Studio. We didn’t actually need to do too much to the room itself, but we did (when I say ‘we’ I actually mean my DH Jonathan!) put a small kitchen in a store cupboard and totally transformed our toilet, which used …
Phew! I have finally got to the end of my mammoth sewing and crocheting marathon! So here are the next batch of projects completed for my Bearpaw Craft Classes venture.

Wow! Just look at this totally stunning little quilt made for me by Fiona (fionapoppy) in the Brit Quilt Swap! As soon as I saw the initial ideas for this quilt I knew it was perfect for me. All the way through the swap, as it kept getting more and more beautiful, I kept hoping …
I can’t believe that I have been making this crochet blanket for the last 2 months and yet I haven’t shared it with you at all! Just too much else going on at the moment. I have been making this as a wedding present for my neice Sarah and her new husband Rob. You may …
A few weeks ago, when I unveiled my new blog button, I alluded to another reason for needing a new logo. Some of you were very keen to find out what I was up to *cough – Catherine Sewing Attic* . Finally I am ready to spill the beans… We are changing one of the …
