After a long weekend off, I returned to work yesterday to find 3 packets waiting for me. 2 of these I was expecting, but an airmail packet was a bit of a mystery. When I opened it and found this cute little mini quilt, my first thought was that someone had sent me their Doll …
Amongst all the chaos of my recent life, I did actually manage (just) to get my DQS11 finished and in the mail by the deadline! And here it is, all 14 inches of it. You can read more about this quilt here, including a wee tutorial on English Paper Piecing. Here is the back, I …
I made this log cabin cot quilt for my Beginners Patchwork and Quilting evening class that starts in September (only one place left!). I just realised I have no idea of the size (and it’s at work in the craft studio so I can’t measure it), but it is maybe a bit big for a …
Do you remember this quilt? I went on about it quite a bit back in April / May. It is my eldest son Felix’s 21st birthday quilt (which I eventually named ‘The Colour Picker Quilt’) which I made while he was away travelling. Well it was his 21st birthday on Friday so he finally got …
I thought you would like to see some photos of our completed Bearpaw Craft Studio. We didn’t actually need to do too much to the room itself, but we did (when I say ‘we’ I actually mean my DH Jonathan!) put a small kitchen in a store cupboard and totally transformed our toilet, which used …

Wow! Just look at this totally stunning little quilt made for me by Fiona (fionapoppy) in the Brit Quilt Swap! As soon as I saw the initial ideas for this quilt I knew it was perfect for me. All the way through the swap, as it kept getting more and more beautiful, I kept hoping …
Just in time for the mailing window (and some sunshine!), I have finished the mini kaleidoscope quilt for The Brit Quilt Swap. Here is the back, with my partners name hidden by some wool. I did quite a bit of hand quilting with all my coloured perle 8. Because I was a bit disappointed that …
Mmmm… yummy, yummy! Here I am at Liberty of London last Saturday. Looking at all the gorgeous Kaffe and Amy Butler fabric. I was down for my neice’s Hen Do, and staying for an extra day with my best friend, Liz. Here’s Liz looking quite excited about the wool Sale! Yes, I timed things just …
I am taking part in the first Brit Quilt Swap. In fact I am a Swap Mama! We are a small group of UK based quilters swapping doll-size quilts. There are about 40 of us in this first round (I am sure there will be future rounds and more swappers next time!). So far I …
