Earlier in the year I had been planning a series of ‘Sew-in Days’ at my shop to start making this year’s quota of quilts for the Social Bite Village Quilt Drive, but of course like so many things these couldn’t go ahead. This is a charity quilt drive that I started 2 years ago to …
One week into Lockdown here in the UK and it feels like things are settling down a little. It’s still an incredibly strange and sometimes scary time but I have not had to make the same adjustment as others. I usually work from home anyway, as does my husband and our children are grown and …

It’s time for my annual look back at the quilts I made in 2018. Last year I managed to fill a 16 square mosaic with my 2017 quilts so it appears I’ve been slacking a bit this year! In reality I have actually been much more productive than this but alas I can not show …
Did you think I’d gone for good?! I didn’t mean to leave a whole two months between posts (the longest I’ve ever left in nearly a decade!) but I was working on a really big project that took all my time and energy (there’ll be more info on this in the New Year) and this …
