Today I am taking part in the Blogger’s Quilt Festival Spring 2014! I have exhibited at every festival apart from the first (didn’t get my blog started until a few weeks after it took place!). Once you’ve read all about this quilt please head over to Amy’s blog and take a look at all the …
Have you seen this new ‘bookazine’? The Pro Guide to Quilting is the latest in a series of guides from the same people who make Love Patchwork and Quilting magazine. It’s actually much more like a book than a magazine and is absolutely packed full (163 pages!) of information, tips and tutorials all about …
Let’s make time for some crochet! It’s been a long time since I devoted a whole post to crochet and yet I always have some on the go and still love it with a passion. We’ll start with the endings. Yes, I finally actually finished a crochet blanket! This is my Ripple Baby Blanket, made …
At last a finished quilt to share with you!

Just snuck in to this quarters Finish-a-long! With just a few hours to go before the deadline I am listing again the UFOs that I failed dismally to finish last quarter. I only managed to finish one of the six projects I listed at the beginning of the year and so I am featuring them …
It’s been a bit quiet in the sewing room recently as I have been busy with our shop move. But I did manage to finish the Hello World pillow for Blend Fabrics. And as I have all my quilts at home at the moment (usually they are hanging on the walls of the craft studio) …
Issue 7 of Love Patchwork and Quilting is currently dropping through subscriber’s letter boxes (though not yet on the news stand), so I think it is now safe to share my skittle dolls with you. The photo above is from the magazine, I always love the way they style things. And they do look like …
