Here’s a little comfort stitching project I have been working on recently. You will probably remember how excited I was by Cori Dantini’s Beauty Is You fabric line. I was desperate to do something with it, so taking one of our FQ bundles I embarked on a little EPP. I’ve recently started teaching my classes …
Now I promised that my last post, which promoted new fabric on our website, wouldn’t be a regular occurrence. But then this very special fabric line arrived and I just had to share it with you! As soon as I saw ‘Beauty is You’ by Cori Dantini a few months back I just totally fell …
I thought I would do an occasional promotional post so I can keep you up to date with all the new fabric we have appearing in our Edinburgh store and on our website. AND give all my loyal followers a little incentive towards some shopping! But first you have to look at all the pretty …
I have been desperate to do something with my Porthole Blocks that I made with Lucie Summers at the FQ Retreat ( I can’t believe that was over a month ago now!). So here is my Peekaboo Quilt. Lucie leaves a 1/4 inch seam around her ‘holes’ (block on the left) but I preferred the …

Apologies for being a bit quiet at the moment. I have become a victim of my own success – my craft classes are going so well that I am totally wearing myself out teaching them! And it is leaving me with very little time to make pretty things and, more importantly, look at all the …
A couple of months ago I made my first two of these notebook holders. I wrote about them here and I hoped to teach a workshop on them. However this was another of those classes that didn’t get enough interest (I seem to be always saying this, but lots of my classes do get booked …
Today I will be linking up with Lily’s Quilts ‘Fresh Sewing Day’. Earlier this year the lovely Rachael Daisy of Blue Mountain Daisy blog made an absolutely stunning wonky star doll quilt. We were taking part in the Doll Quilt Swap at the time and this wasn’t even the one for her partner but an …
I’m busy thinking up new classes to teach next year, and one of the subjects I’d like to tackle is a simple rag doll. I did make up Annalise earlier in the year from scratch, and lovely though she is, I felt I could improve and simplify her. So I am pleased to introduce Sally! …
