Let’s start with the exciting news… I am getting one of the Textile Galleries at this year’s Festival of Quilts! This is a very big deal for me. I applied for a gallery six years ago and got rejected and it’s taken me a while to give it another shot. I am so excited to …
I managed to (sort of) have two weeks off at the start of July. Running your own business from home means it’s hard to take a break without physically leaving home but I live in such a beautiful place that I don’t want to go anywhere else! So instead I try to avoid emails and …
I have temperature quilt projects to share and exciting news about the new Moxie XL! Regular readers will know all about my passion for Temperature Projects. You can read about my original Weather Bubble quilt here and since then I’ve completed a temperature embroidery and started (and then aborted!) a temperature crochet blanket. I’ve started …

In this post I thought …
My second version of our Thread House Club BOM Folk Dance Quilt is now finished! We launched our first BOM club last summer and have been busy sewing together since October. With just two more blocks to go and with the launch of next year’s BOM looming I decided to push ahead and finish the …
Today I’m delighted to share my finished Tiny Improv World quilt. The quilt top was finished during the first lockdown when I put together many collected sample pieces from all the Tiny Improv Streetscape classes I had taught. I actually didn’t have quite enough (having made plenty into puches and bags!) and so I needed …
