It’s that odd time of year between Christmas and New Year when time seems to be more elastic and when I traditionally post a review of all the quilts I’ve made in the last 12 months. Every year my quilt total gets less and less! In many ways I think this is a good thing. …
It’s almost a year since I wrote this post about the new Gathering Blooms Block of the Month I had designed for Today’s Quilter magazine. Well here is the finished quilt! I’ve really enjoyed making these blocks every month, they are a lovely mix of piecing and needle-turn applique and of course I got to …
A few months back in this post I told you all about The Thread House Club’s new Summer Breeze BOM and promised to share my finished quilt here. Well here it is! And as this was finished months ago I now have a number of other Summer Breeze inspired makes to share, all ahead of …

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 …
We’re back for part 3 of the Bedding Plants QAL and for this row of poppies we will be concentrating on curves! Curve piecing is one of my favourite techniques and I’m looking forward to sharing my ‘one pin’ method with you in more detail. The small project for this row …
Welcome to part 2 of the Bedding Plants Quilt Along! I can’t tell you how happy it’s made me to see all the beautiful rose blocks popping up in my Instagram feed over the last 2 weeks, thanks so much for getting involved everyone! I’m also loving the little community we have going on in …
