The Festival of Quilts is a four day event and the largest quilt show in Europe with thousands of quilts to see, and way too much to buy! Plus you get to catch up with all your quilty friends! Basically it is four days of bliss and excitement, where you feel completely ‘amongst your people’! …
I’ve had some free time this week so I decided to do a little recreational sewing (as opposed to work sewing!). I recently got hold of a copy of Amy Gibson’s new book The Quilt Block Cookbook. You may know Amy from her blog Stitchery Dickory Dock (such a great name!). There are so many …
We are up to week 7 of my Mystery Quilt evening course tonight so I thought it was a good time to share the quilt’s progress so far. I shared the first couple of blocks in posts earlier this year and explained how offering this class back in December (when we launched the term) had …
