Since this is the 499th post, and I have been entering quite a lot of fugly (or not so fugly!) fabric giveaways this week, I’ve decided to take part in the fun… Lucy at Charm About You is...
Recently I have been fascinated by fabric design, and whilst mine aren’t the most fantastic designs you will ever see, I’m pretty pleased with them. I will continue honing my technique so...
After last year’s car accident, I decided it wouldn’t be wise to venture out in the snow we had this weekend, other than to take Fletcher to the park. This meant I had a lot of time in th...
This post was drafted on 22nd December when I sent off this letter. As I have had absolutely no reply from Gutermann and it is now the last day of January, I thought I would publicly share this and a...
I’ve decided that recipes I’d pinned on Pinterest count towards the challenge, but I felt that if I did two of them, that would make it count more! So yesterday I made cheese and spring o...
I’ve made a video on how I do cut away applique working from the reverse of the fabric. I call it reverse applique in the video but I don’t really mean that It’s by no means a maste...
I thought I’d do a little blog post about Amiee from Handmade and Heritage today. I had posted about the goldfinch quilt I am making over on Crafteroo (which BTW is now trimmed and basted ready...
I couldn’t wait to show you this. I finished up the satin stitch around the edges and I finished the piecing at the top to finish the quilt top. I’m going to quilt each tumbler different ...
Shameless plug but I’m selling off a lot of stuff, as I’m moving into my new craft room! You will find my list over on this thread on Crafteroo if you wouldn’t mind taking a look? ...
I made this cushion for my sister as a belated Christmas present. It was going to be 7 rows of felt petals but my sewing machine was struggling to get in over the layers and I was feeling lazy, so I ...
After being inspired by this on Pinterest, I decided it was time to pick up a crochet hook again. I’m making 20 of these squares by sewing two Amy Butler charm squares back to back, blanket sti...
I just realised I promised you a post about when we went dog sledding last Wednesday and I hadn’t yet delivered! We had about an hour and a half of riding between the two of us, which was 3 goe...
I have a couple of WIPs but one I have started recently which doesn’t count as a UFO (unfinished object). However, I started a footstool with Max and Whiskers fabric well over 6 months ago now,...
I’ve just made my first item for the Crafteroo Pinterest challenge, a day early but this will be my January make. What we have to do is make something from all of the tutorials we pin over on P...
There’s a big giveaway over on Quokka Quilts right now where you design your own fabric collection using those already available in the Fat Quarter Shop. It has been a lot of fun putting mine t...
I used a jelly roll of ”Summer House” (plus a couple of Meadow friends strips chucked in when I was short) and Kona white to make this quilt, and it’s back is a beige fabric (with a...
I got a nice bundle of pressies yesterday which made up for me spending an entire week making chocolates (including 3 days booked of work at last minute). So whilst the carpet fitters were in putting...
I truly hate basting and the binding processes in quilt making. This quilt was a nightmare for so many reasons but I have learned a lot whilst doing it. (to balance this I will say that I love piecin...
This is quite an indulgent post, but I guess the practise of blogging at all is too, so hopefully you won’t get bored Anyway, it dawned on me today what I need to do to love making stuff to sel...
I’ve had a few tutorial posts recently, and here’s another! These cards are really quick and only take about 5 minutes to make, so they’re great if you need an emergency Christmas...
Sorry I’ve been a bit quiet recently, this week in particular is a strain, but after the fair this weekend, I will have a few days to sew and get Christmas stuff sorted before the mad Christmas...
Another Christmas present done! Though I might add a tail or a collar yet….
Following on from yesterday, I thought I’d do another mini-tutorial, this time using the glass cabs and settings from Beadcrafty. They are both 18mm x 22mm ovals so are compatible with each oth...
Here’s just a quick post, borne out of needing to put something together for you to show you my purchases from Beadcrafty and not being able to find a chuffing eyepin this morning. Anyway I put...
Sorry it’s taken me ages to post this, Royal Mail has been very slow at getting my beads to me and I wanted to be able to show some pictures with this post, so as I got them after work yesterda...
I’ve drawn the winner of the giveaway and the winning comment was #12 – Georgie @FlamingBeads! I’ll be in touch for your address! In general the last few days have been spent in the...
I’m having a big clearout at home because I’m sick of living and working in a dump. None of my craft stuff has a permanent home yet because of financing the garage renovation, so this wee...
Because of various jewellery/chocolate/holiday demands and sewing machine breakages/issues I am still about a week behind on the sew alongs. The last installment of the napkins and placemats tutoria...
I’m back from a very quick visit to London and OHMYGOD I discovered an awesome fabric shop and I could have bought out the entire shop if I had remembered by new PIN number, alas I had to limit...
I was browsing around on the internet for a review of this sewing machine before I bought it and not much information exists, I suppose this is because AEG only started selling sewing machines in Jun...
