Did you think I’d gone for good?! I didn’t mean to leave a whole two months between posts (the longest I’ve ever left in nearly a decade!) but I was working on a really big project that took all my time and energy (there’ll be more info on this in the New Year) and this …
Ta-dah!! It’s finished and revealed! I’m delighted to share my Vintage Home BOM quilt with you today. The latest issue of Today’s Quilter (number 41) is out today and as well as featuring yet another stunning Lynne Goldsworthy cover quilt, you will also find instructions for completing the Vintage Home quilt. I’ve kept the setting …
Amazingly we have arrived at the final month of our Vintage Home BOM Quilt Along already! I think one of the reasons it seems to have come around so much quicker than expected is due to the fact that I missed the blog post for month 11 – ooops! Sorry about that! This year August …
Well I promised you a big block this month and I’m delighted to present my Vintage Sewing Machine block! This is the only block this month and though it looks quite complicated it does break down into 4 manageable sections (with a little bit of applique detail to finish). We are already up to month …

I am delighted to share my Colour Box Quilt today! It’s a pattern in the latest issue (61) of Love Patchwork and Quilting magazine and I got a lovely surprise when it arrived this week to find that it had made the cover! Even more so because I thought it was destined for issue 62! …
I can’t believe how well timed this month’s Vintage Home BOM Quilt Along block is! When I planned the commemorative mug block I had in mind the forthcoming wedding of Harry and Megan, but then on the day that I shared the block online it was announced that Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, had given birth …
Last year I made a mini quilt as my entry to the Pantone Quilt Challenge. It was one of my first forays into the obsession which would become ‘Tendrils’! You can read about this first quilt here. Meanwhile Alice, the editor at Love Patchwork and Quilting, asked me to make a version of the mini …
Month 6 already! We are now half way through this QAL! This month it’s time for some plates. This was a tricky one because basically they are just a circle, so I struggled coming up with a design until I remembered portholes, a very versatile technique that I learnt from Lu Summers at the first …
