Well I failed dismally in my attempt to post about more of my current swaps before the weekend! I am just running to catch up, as always. Never mind, I am here now to tell you about this unusual swap from the Old Red Barn Co Quilt group on Flickr. It’s unusual because it is …
I mentioned a few weeks back that I have signed up for way too many swaps on Flickr. In fact I am so busy making stuff for them that I haven’t had a chance to tell you about them! I am going to try and do a few quick mini posts about 3 of them …
A few weeks ago, I showed you my new Liberty stash and told you about a quilt I really wanted to make with it. I hadn’t been able to get permission to show the photo in time for that post, but since then Clare ‘Summerfete’ has returned from her holiday and has kindly allowed …
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 …

Another day, another swap completed! This time it’s the first round of the Goodie Bag Swap on Flickr. Make your partner a bag (or purse as I believe our American cousins call them) and fill it with a plastic bag full of fabric scraps! I got paired with someone very young and funky, so I …
There has been a lot of exciting activity in the world of British Quilters this week! The amazing human dynamo that is Lynne of Lily’s Quilts has started a Brit Quilt Group on Flickr for all us British Quilters to get together and share stuff. And if that’s not enough we are now busy organising …
