The competition entry top is nearly finished…. all the dog sections are stitched together now. There’s a few bits left to sew that I added on afterwards when I found I left ridiculous gap...
I’ve finished piecing the top of the baby quilt for my unknown gender cousin due in 3-4 weeks time! At the minute I totally don’t want to do a paper pieced block again for quite some time...
Just FYI, I am starting to sell some of my designs over on Spoonflower. I was going to keep them to myself but I felt I could use a little bit of commission money, so it may take a while but I plan t...
Yeah, yeah I know- two posts in one day, BUT I have just got pics of the stand I was working on for this year’s Chelsea Flwoer Show (opens tomorrow) and you can see some of the billions hundred...
So I did quite a lot of sewing last weekend but they were all half finished spasms of creative urges so this weekend I finished them. I do need to sort out a smaller frame for the dragonfly this week...
Because I’m suffering from an acute case of skintdom, with a new packaging order and road tax looming, I’ve decided to casually offer drawing services for anyone who may require a banner ...
I have made- with the help of three others at work- around 180 flowers and buds made from gardening gloves to fill the full front of our stand at Chelsea Flower Show- which is 12 metres. They are red...
Sorry, I couldn’t resist- the actual main applique is fully stuck together now for my FOQ entry Dogs
I decided at the end of last week to enter this year’s Festival of Quilts in the Pictorial category. I’ve never entered a quilt competition before (you could say I’ve never made a q...
Just for you dear reader! I have lots of my resin jewellery just sat in a drawer so I thought I would root out some handmade bargains for you- just e-mail me if you fancy any of this little lot: kerr...
Tuesday is the closing date for Fabric8 and I’ve come up with a different design (this time computer coloured rather than hand coloured) and I need help choosing which I should enter! I donR...
Over on Craft Pimp, Nic posted about Everything Syndrome (aka being a craft butterfly) and named and shamed me in her admission… but then I thought she was SO right and that there was a blog po...
I would have prefered to do this in block colours rather than the watercolour effect but it’s what the brief ordered…. Matching the repeat up was a total PITA- it has taken me probably 3 ...
I’ve only recently discovered the Robert Kaufman Fabric8 competition through reading a blog (sorry I can’t remember which it was) – there’s less than 10 days before the closin...
I finished my goldfinch quilt after procrastinating the actual quilting bit for a month or so. It’s a nice size- made from a whole layer cake from this Pam and Nicky Lintott book. Just a simple...
This is what I was working on on Friday morning whilst OH was sleeping off his night shift! I whipped it up throughout Zoe Ball’s radio programme- nice and simple and made from a few pieces of ...
I had planned to spend Sunday finishing my goldfinch quilt finally. I then got distracted by the Tova sewalong over at VeryKerryBerry and finished this in about 4 hours… Sorry for the crap phot...
Finished finally! Yesterday was the last of my dress making class and whilst there are some bits I would do differently if I was making this again, I think it was pretty successful!
I am super mega chuffed- I have Basic Grey’s Salt Air before it has properly arrived over on the shores of the UK and it’s minnnnnnne and I love it. Seriously, this is my favourite ever f...
I finished my footstool for the finish-a-long over on Rhonda’s blog that I mentioned quite some time ago now. The first quarter is up by the end of next week (how fast is this year going?!) and...
I’ve been pretty slack on the Pinterest challenge this month with all these new ideas popping into my head and not enough hours in the day to do them all, I’ve not really been lacking ins...
Well I managed it, with minimal unpicking and swearing… but with a lot of patience… it’s the first of Twenty Hedgehogs! This is a “platinum” variety of african pygmy hed...
I’ve recently been admiring Art Quilts because I love patchwork, applique, scrapbooking and I’m intrigued by surface design and this encompasses it all! I have discovered Quilting Arts ma...
I have this box of buttons. What I call boring buttons- browns and black and whites and standard looking things, but useful nevertheless. The box is 4 inches square and 2.5 inches deep and it’s...
I have 9 more tumbler blocks to swirly quilt and the binding and then I have finished my goldfinch quilt, however with it being mother’s day week I’m snowed under with chocolates to make ...
I’ve been in Copenhagen and Malmo the last few days, but being me I took very few photos. Apart from I asked my OH to photograph these floors on his phone because I’m weird like that. In ...
Since Jen posted this on the Flickr group pool I had an inkling it was for me. There have been another couple of hedgehoggy themed pouches, but I just had a feeling! I also really really wanted it to...
Modern Quilting magazine comes out tomorrow! It’s a bimonthly magazine but I am fortunate enough to have found out about it early so I have subscribed and got my copy on Saturday morning- hurra...
I’ve had a play about with a couple of sewing techniques over this weekend and there’s a bit of a duck theme going on… Firstly I made this embroidery and I think we will be keeping ...
I was naughty and skipped Fencing last night because I desperately wanted to get my Mouthy Stitches swap finished. I’ve been working on this pouch on and off for a month, getting intimidated by...
