I actually finished this quilt before Christmas, but with everything that’s been going on and with the terrible weather we’ve been having (everything is soaking wet outside!) making photography difficult, I am only just able to share it with you now. This is my Modern Sampler Quilt, that I started making for a class last …
We’re going to focus on the rest of our new 2014 classes at myBearpaw Craft Studio in this post. First of all I have a new Applique class. For the first few years I offered a class where you decorated a tote bag with needle-turn applique. I have now updated this class so that we …
A few months back Fiona put up this great tutorial on clamshells. I have always wanted to have a go at these and pretty much started this piece as soon as I had stopped reading! As regular readers will know I have a large stash of Liberty tana lawn, collected over many long years. But …
I’ve never had much time for yo-yos before. I didn’t like the way they were put together in quilts (or I guess they are coverlets strictly speaking) with the gaps between the circles. Who wants holes in their quilts? But then last Monday I was desperate for a quick easy project to show as my …

Christina, the lovely lady who commissioned the second Red Riding Hood quilt has also commissioned this one. The first one was for her …

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 …
Welcome to the Blogger’s Quilt Festival! I have taken part in all but the first of these fabulous on-line events. And the fact that I haven’t finished any new quilts recently wasn’t going to stop me taking part this time! So I searched back through my old quilts to see if there was one that …
