Let love and kindness win

“Where there is love there is life” – Ghandi I have tried to avoid talking about Covid-19 on here, but I just wanted to share a few words. This is an unprecedented time for us all.

Sarah Jane Fabric Swap

I am often reluctant to take part in swaps, I always worry that I don’t do enough “extras” and if the recipient will like what I have made. It is all very well making something that has been requested…… Continue reading Sarah Jane Fabric Swap

My new favourite sewing tool

In this month’s Love Patchwork and Quilting magazine there was a free gift which was a seam roller. I’ll be honest I’ve always been a bit dubious about them and if they actually worked.
