At the start of 2018 I made the resolution to go on a “Fabric diet”, it didn’t necessarily mean I couldn’t buy any fabric but I definitely had to rein in my spending and use up my over-growing stash. I wasn’t completely unrealistic I knew there would be certain fabrics I would need to help…… Continue reading Fabric diet fail..
How cute is this little tree frog from this month’s Into the Jungle block!? I really enjoyed stitching this one so much so I pretty much did it in one day. I couldn’t pull myself away, just saying to myself 5 more minutes! It took me back to our honeymoon in Cuba, where one evening…… Continue reading Into the Jungle SAL – March
This year I’ve signed up to 2 Block of the Month (BOM) English Paper Piecing clubs. In this post I’m going to talk about the one from Sew and Quilt. I first remember Jessie starting the club a couple of years ago and I ummed and arghed about it. Deciding in the end against it.…… Continue reading Blooming Blossoms BOM (block of the month)
Following on from the super cute sloth of last month’s block are 3 bright and colourful Toucans who are apparently the national birds of Belize. I’m not really a fan of green but I’m actually really liking stitching all the different leaves and trees. Just as well really considering it is jungle themed! 😆 I’m…… Continue reading Into the Jungle SAL – February

One of the great things about having Mabel is I now have the perfect excuse to make all the…… Continue reading Pixelated Unicorn Quilt

As the next instalment is released tonight I thought I’d share block 1 with you. Of course they haven’t…… Continue reading Into the Jungle SAL
Hello there! I know it’s been a while! I hope you have all had a lovely Christmas and a happy new year! I must apologise for my lack of blogging of late, my little monkey Mabel decided that naps are no longer for her and is literally on the go from the minute she gets…… Continue reading Happily Ever After SAL Completed!
So can you believe it, I managed to post a pincushion a day for the whole month! Day 22 – This is a teeny tiny one! Only 2.5inches square. I added some sweet embroidery embellishments, I think the elephant looks very regal with her floral crown! Day 23 – Such sweet Elea Lutz fabric! She…… Continue reading Pinnie Parade – Final Week!
With all my other sewing projects going on I’ve fallen a little behind on my Happily Ever After SAL. It has been nice to pick it up again in the evenings and slow down for a bit. Here is June’s block – The Little House on the Prairie. I’ve not actually read this story so…… Continue reading Happily Ever After SAL – Little House on the PrairieÂ
Day 15 – I think this is my favourite pinnie so far! Such cute fabric, all I did was add a little embroidery embellishment and a little bit of zakka tape. Day 16 –Â Onto a super simple one! This is a cheater print that I’ve just quilted. Simple but effective I think! Day 17 -…… Continue reading Pinnie Parade – Week 3
