I am struggling to catch up at the moment. Not only have I not had any time to post here, but I also haven’t had time to make anything to write about! I am doing a full 5 day week in the shop on my own where I am very busy with deliveries of new …
I decided to take part in the latest Old Red Barn Quilt Along. These have been going for a few years now and though some of my very good blogging friends have been involved I haven’t managed to get my act together to join in before. This time it is Dolores’s turn from Deeroo blog. …
Yes, I know Christmas was a few weeks back but never mind, this quilt can be enjoyed all year round! If you remember, a few posts ago, I asked for help with machine quilting this quilt, which was made with the help of The Quick Christmas Bee. You were very generous with your advice and …
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, …

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 …
After a bit of a rush, I have just finished this cot quilt for Sarah’s new baby. Sarah is my very hard working (and now very missed!) colleague, who went on her maternity leave about a month ago. Her baby wasn’t due until mid October, but little Rebecca couldn’t wait to start her life …
