I’ve made another Fairytale Quilt. You may remember the 2 Red Riding Hood quilts and a 3 Little Pig quilt that I made previously. Well this time it is Hansel and Gretel! Christina, the lovely lady who commissioned the second Red Riding Hood quilt has also commissioned this one. The first one was for her …
…hopefully on your door mat by now, if you are coming! If the postman hasn’t delivered your ticket yet, you might want to look away now so as not to spoil the surprise (though if you own a pair of eyes it is probably too late!!). We have been having such fun planning stuff for …
Things are slowing down a bit for me as we get close to Easter and I get a break from classes. So I have been having a little crafting fun with some small makes that I can get done in a few hours. Like this patchwork and embroidery frame purse, which came straight out of …

Here is a sneak preview of a new workshop I will be taking in March. I have had a few requests for some more embroidery/applique classes so I thought I would combine them with this ‘Embellishment’ class. A bit of applique, a lot of embroidery and an Indian Shisha mirror. I used to use these …
Amongst all the chaos of my recent life, I did actually manage (just) to get my DQS11 finished and in the mail by the deadline! And here it is, all 14 inches of it. You can read more about this quilt here, including a wee tutorial on English Paper Piecing. Here is the back, I …
