It just occurred to me that less than one week from today I will be in one of the coolest towns in one of the coolest countries in the world. Yep, I'm off to Quilt Market, in Portland, Oregon. I'm...
So last week was 2 of my best gals birthdays, Justine and Trudi. I made them some patchwork pouches, because no sewing person can ever have enough pouches! I just had to share them with you...
Have y'all seen Heather Ross's new line for Windham fabrics? I'm sure you have by now.... It's so very lovely. Look at the strawberries, crickets and lady bee's!! How adorable! AND its being...
Now that the cat is very definitely out of the bag, I can share with you that I am teaching at the Fat Quarterly Retreat this summer! Retreat was in my top 3 moments of last year, so I'm super...
Hellllloooooooo!!! I hope everyone had a lovely relaxing easter holiday? It was all over a little fast for my liking, but still it was a nice break. I spent most of it sewing my heart out! There's...
Welcome to my stop on the Sizzix Easter blog hop! Yey! Bunnies and eggs and lambs and flowers and... easter stuffs! Here's the line up for the rest of the week... Monday 18th March - Katy Tuesday...
So I was at my Grannies house today, talking about sewing as I usually do and she mentioned an old sewing machine that she had, and that my Grandad used to use regularly, collecting dust in the...
My second ever pair of socks are now finished and on their way to Emily! These are the "On Hold Socks" from the Socks from the Toe Up book that everyone (including me) loves. The light was crappy...
Without wishing to get bogged down in the details of how hiccups relate to vomit, lets just say, it worked in my head. This is my Scrap Hiccup mini. I made it for the queen of Scrap Vomit quilts,...
I've been waiting to show you my finished Swoon for aaaaages now, but finally this weekend I managed to snap some pictures. Cat fluff and paw prints included. I made this quilt at the beginning of...
Regrettably, I am not down in Sevenoaks today hanging with the rest of my Brit Bee ladies. It sure looks like they are having a good time though, *le sigh*. You can see their antics on Instagram...
Yep, I turned on my sewing machine today for the first time in what seems like forever. It was fun actually. I might be swinging back into my sewing-mad phase, rather than my knitting-mad phase....
Happy ♥ day! Hope you and yours are having a sufficiently loved-up day :o) You can catch me over on the Pink Castle Fabrics blog today (well it was actually yesterday but nvm). I'm waxing lyrical...
Or pillows, or whatever it is that we're calling them these days. I get so confused! Last night I whipped up these 2 cushion covers in a little over half an hour. They're not quilted or anything,...
My first pair of toe up socks are finished and blocked! Yey! I couldn't be more pleased with myself right now. I loved knitting these socks. Okay, it's a super simple pattern, but I needed that for...
In the absence of any sewing of any kind, there is of course, always time to play with fabric! I appear to have completely lost my sewing mojo. No particular reason I guess, I'm just busy doing...
Hey friends! How's everyone's week going? I've been doing very little sewing this week... I appear to have caught the swimming bug, if that is a thing... And I'm loving it. But it doesn't half tire...
Yey! Scrappy trip along! She's finished! I love love love love love it. And so here I go showing you more pictures than is really necessary... If you are looking to get your sewing mojo back, THIS...
This weekend was super productive for me! As well as finishing up my Scrappy Trip Along quilt (which hopefully I will show you next week - I'm waiting on binding fabric), I made a baby quilt! Thank...
I decided, in my infinite wisdom (or severe stupidity) to make another Patchwork Weekender Bag, the weekend before Christmas. This time, for my Mama. She loved my last one so much... I thought she...
I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas and New Years! I had the most wonderful relaxing time with family over Christmas, mostly just nibbling on yummies whilst watching movies and knitting. It was...
Merry Christmas. I hope you have a magical time, however you like to spend it :o) Catch you in the New Year! xxx
I'm nothing if not predictable. Just reading my post from this time last year proves it. Last year I set myself the target of an entirely handmade Christmas, and achieved it, and felt super proud...
This weekend, on Saturday night, I helped my mom put up her tree. It's one of my favourite traditions, and even though I don't live at home any more, she can't escape me helping ;-) I noticed,...
(and by "my" I am probably generalizing for a whole bunch of quilters like me, so husbands, take note.) I would be more than a little bit happy to find Tula's latest line, Salt Water, in my...
Eeek! I finished this years Christmas quilt! And Beaker... The photo-bombing cat. I say that like I make one every year... I don't. I made one in 2010, which was my second ever quilt. You can read...
One night this week I had the urge to hand stitch. This urge doesn't happen often with me, so I take what I can get. Inspired by Katy's fancy pants pillow, I made this block: I used my Sizzix Big...
Wow, its been all quiet on the home front for a while hasn't it? I am super busy elving away at Christmas pressies, which now that my family read this here blog, I cannot share! Be prepared for an...
The winner of the delectable chocolates from Kerry at Truffle Piglet is.... Jan! Congratulations my friend! Send me your address please lovely :o)
Chocolate in both hands. Yes. This is a post all about chocolate. Weird. But there it is. I love chocolate. One year, when I was about 10, I won a giant Toblerone that was probably as tall as me....
I love my Jay, adore my Steiger, and ♥ my fabric
