There are 2 reasons why I am so excited to show you this quilt. One is that it made the cover of the latest issue of Quilt Now magazine!! This is my first project for Katy and so I was really honoured to be the cover star! Especially after flicking through the mag and seeing …
It always takes me a while to get round to these popular quilts that are quilt-a-longs etc. I’ve loved the Granny Square quilts from afar for a while now (especially the one Lynz made which was part of our Scottish Modern Quilt Exhibition last year) but never got round to making a whole quilt – …
It’s nearly that time of year again – yes it’s time to head down south to London Town and meet up with all my quilty pals at Fat Quarterly Retreat 2014! Woot woot!! This year will be extra special (and slightly more stressful) because I am teaching at the Retreat. I am teaching ‘Further Adventures …
Yes it’s my third FAL finish this quarter! That’s a record for me 🙂 This is my Together Circle Quilt. This is the circle I belong to in the do. Good Stitches group on Flickr. Every month we produce a new quilt for charity. I am usually a stitcher which means I just sew 2 …

Some of you may already know that I will be teaching at Fat Quarterly Retreat this summer. The workshops have just been announced so I thought I would blog about my classes here. I am very excited about this!! First off is Further Adventures in Embroidery. There’s been a few basic embroidery classes at the …
At last a finished quilt to share with you! I feel like all I have been talking about is business recently – new shop, Stitch Gathering, blah-di-blah… I always wanted this blog to be separate from my working life but somehow it keeps leaking though (or more like taking over!). So it’s lovely to show …
