I’m finally up to my 4th and last swap in this little series of current swap/bee catch-ups. This last swap is the one that I will be finished with first. It is a new flickr swap called Fab Little Quilt Swap (or FLQS from now on). This is an invitation only group and I was …
I wrote all the way back here about the Do Good Stitches Charity Bee on Flickr. I am in the Cherish Circle and every month I stitch 2 blocks and send them off to that month’s quilter who puts them together and quilts them. I am happy being a stitcher and letting someone else do …
Well I failed dismally in my attempt to post about more of my current swaps before the weekend! I am just running to catch up, as always. Never mind, I am here now to tell you about this unusual swap from the Old Red Barn Co Quilt group on Flickr. It’s unusual because it is …
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!

I made this Christmas Advent Quilt a few months ago so that I could offer a workshop on making it. I had planned that, at the same time as I was doing the workshop, I would make a wee tute for the blog. However nobody booked for this workshop 🙁 I have found it difficult …
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 …
Here’s a Trip Around The World cot quilt I just finished to sell in the shop. I used this tutorial from Quiltville and it was very quick and easy. Melanie of Texas Freckles is doing this design for one of the other ‘Do Good Stitches’ circles this month and recommended this tute. I like checking …
Welcome! Today I am taking part in the Blogger’s Quilt Festival. This is the 5th BQF I have taken part in and it is a real highlight of my bloggy year. Usually I have a lovely new, full-sized quilt to share with you all, but I have had quite a challenging 6 months and so …
