Well somehow I have managed to write 100 whole pages about craft stuff! It has taken me a year and a half but it still seems quite an achievement. But there wouldn’t be much point me writing anything at all if you lovely people weren’t out there reading it. So as a big THANK YOU …
As promised, here is the Christmas Star quilt top I got finished when I was snowbound last week. I only had another 10 blocks to make as the wonderful folks from The Quick Christmas Bee had made the other 14! (I had made the first one as a demonstration block). Thanks so much Marg, Lynz, …
It’s that time again! Time for the Blogger’s Quilt Festival! Amy over at Amy’s Creative Side hosts this wonderful Online Quilt Festival twice a year, thanks so much Amy! This is my third time participating, and seeing as I haven’t completed any large quilts since the Spiderweb I featured in the spring, I thought I …
I have joined a new Bee. It is called the Tag Square Bee and is organised by BellsJo. There are 13 of us in the Bee and, like most Bees, every month we make a block for someone in the group. The big difference here (and the thing I really like about it) is that …
Yes, after a VERY long wait it is finally here! Some swappers got their’s 2 months ago, but good things come to those that wait, and here it is! Isn’t it gorgeous? Made for me by Cara of Quiltnookgal and it came all the way from the USA. There were all sorts of problems with …

Yesterday I took my first trip to a quilt show, The Scottish Quilt Championships at Ingleston, just by Edinburgh Airport. And this is what I came home with! But look who came with me… It’s Lynz from Domestic Light and Magic! When we met up in the summer we made a plan to attend …
It seems like all I hear about on the blogs these days are Bees! No not furry, little, buzzy things but Quilting Bees (I am constantly explaining this to non-quilty friends!). I have recently got involved in my first Bee, the ‘Quick Christmas Bee’, organised by Maria of Me and Ma blog. There are only …
Yay! All finished and ready to go! I have loved making this doll quilt and taking part in DQS9, even though our house move (right in the middle of it!) did mean I couldn’t be as active in the group pool/discussions as I would have liked. I would love to be involved with the next …
It has all been a bit traumatic, but a week after our house move I am feeling relatively settled in and I think I’m going to be ok! I even have my Sewing Room sorted! Above is a before photo… And here is after! It’s still a bit of a work in progress, (and those …
