I have been having great fun testing Lou Orth’s new pattern the Square Love Quilt. This is a perfect pattern for some fussy cutting and highlighting your favourite fabrics. Unusually for me it didn’t actually take me that long to decide on my fabrics. I started by picking what fabric I wanted to feature and…… Continue reading Square Love Quilt
I have fallen in love hard with the new fabric line by Heather Ross called Trixie! I mean what is not to like? You have cute little mice, pretty florals and sweet little strawberries! Just perfect! I am normally quite hesitant to cut into fabric I love, I haven’t dared to cut into my Bluebirds…… Continue reading Trixie Fabric
I recently had the pleasure of testing Lou Orth’s new pattern the Flourish Sewing Set. This handy little set includes a needlebook, a thread catcher and a pincushion. The pattern comes with the option to make it with a mini patchwork block or without. The mini block is a great opportunity for some tiny fussy cutting…… Continue reading Flourish Sewing Set
I thought I would do a little Quilty catch up post, I have been fairly busy on the machine and real life so haven’t had much time to blog about it. Now half term is over it is the perfect time to do so, and rather than bombard with you a load of separate posts…… Continue reading A Quilty Update
In my last post I shared with you my recent finished quilt top. The problem I now face and in fact I face every time I finish a quilt is “How on earth do I quilt it!?” I love making quilts, of course I do, I wouldn’t make them otherwise. The whole process of falling…… Continue reading How do you quilt yours?

At the start of the year I told myself (as you know from this post here) I had to…… Continue reading I Heart You Quilt Sew Along

She really has the some of the cutest patterns I ever did see, so I was super excited to try this for her. The pattern comes in two sizes a 6″ and 8″ and full piecing…… Continue reading Strawberry Milk Pattern
I know it’s cliche to say but I really can’t believe another year has passed. It seems only last week I was making my resolutions and plans for 2018. In this post I thought I’d take stock over the past year and share with you some of my favourite things, and my plans for the…… Continue reading 2018 A Review and Looking Forward
Bit by tiny bit I am catching up with these, although I do have 3 boxes untouched now, and not even counting how many more joining blocks I need to do (clue, it’s a lot!!) Without wanting to repeat myself every time I post one of these, I will keep this short. I will say…… Continue reading Blooming Blossom Box 8
Now it’s November I feel I can finally start prepping the Christmas sewing. I actually started a couple of weeks ago but in true Saysie style I am only now just blogging about it! Every year I have so many plans to make so many things, whether that be gifts, decorations or tasty food. In…… Continue reading Christmas Sewing Prep
