First off, thanks for all your kind comments wishing me a happy holiday. I had a lovely relaxing time, and have come back very tanned from all the gorgeous sun out there! Well I finished the House Block quilt top! Now re-named ‘The Neighbourhood’. The original inspiration for the quilt was ‘The Burbs’ from the …
For the last year I have been sewing blocks for the Tag Square Bee on Flickr. This has been a fun, though frustrating Bee, to be part of. We seemed to have more than our fair share of Bad Bee Luck, with about a third of the members dropping out half way through due to …
I first published this post last Thursday *a few weeks ago!* but something must have gone wrong with Blogger as it appears it has not been showing up in the dashboard/reader. I thought you had all gone very quiet, and was even more alarmed after I published another post yesterday and, again, heard a deafening …
OMG!! I was absolutely blown away by the amount of entries I had for the Sew Mama sew Giveaway Day! Wow, you lot REALLY wanted to get your hands on that pile of fabric!! I never, in my wildest dreams, expected to get as many as 1220 entries! So please excuse me for not being …

I seem to have lots of different projects on the go at the moment. Some I have already started, and some I am still waiting to start, or rather I am at the design stage still. Like the Doll Quilt Swap. You may remember, I mentioned a few weeks back that I had got in …
Yes, I know Christmas was a few weeks back but never mind, this quilt can be enjoyed all year round! If you remember, a few posts ago, I asked for help with machine quilting this quilt, which was made with the help of The Quick Christmas Bee. You were very generous with your advice and …
As promised, here is the Christmas Star quilt top I got finished when I was snowbound last week. I only had another 10 blocks to make as the wonderful folks from The Quick Christmas Bee had made the other 14! (I had made the first one as a demonstration block). Thanks so much Marg, Lynz, …
Well I have had quite a week with all the snow, ice and traffic chaos up here in Scotland. I can’t be bothered to bore you with all the details, but we did finally manage to get my father on a flight home on Thursday, but that was only after 2 failed attempts to take …
