October was definitely a hold on to your hat type of month, i.e it was tough!! I am glad to see the end of October especially as I’m not particularly a fan of Halloween. Growing up in England in the 80’s/90’s we didn’t celebrate it, no one did. Out of all the years in…… Continue reading October Round-Up…
I have been so preoccupied this week that I totally forgot to share my completed Blooming Blossoms box for month 7. I’m still a good few months behind but I’ve decided not to put any pressure on myself. After all I want it to be an enjoyable experience and not a chore. I know I…… Continue reading Blooming Blossoms Box 7
In my last post I talked about the new book I had purchased, The Fussy Cut Sampler in a bid to get through some of my hoarded stash. Well I’m feeling rather pleased with myself that I have already managed to finish the four blocks that were in Chapter 1. Block 1/48 A nice easy…… Continue reading The Fussy Cut Sampler – Chapter 1
You may remember if you’ve been following the blog for a while that I made a little quilt for Mabel last year (read about it here). Unfortunately I hadn’t quite worked out the measurements quite right so as was inevitable she has out grown it. So, what a perfect excuse to make another! I have…… Continue reading A birthday quilt for Mabel
It seems I’ve blinked another month has passed us by and we’re now in October with Halloween and Christmas rushing towards us! September a month where the leaves are changing, the air is getting cooler but still warm enough to not have to layer up. I’ve never really been a fan of the cooler months…… Continue reading September Round-up
With the school holidays I feel like I’ve not had much time for anything, grabbing moments here and there to do some sewing, it has meant the blog has once again been left to one side. As much as I love the summer I am looking forward to getting back into a routine again, and…… Continue reading August Round-up
I fell in love with Amy Sinibaldi’s new fabric line “Dollhouse” by Art Gallery Fabrics pretty much as soon as I saw it. Normally when I see a fabric line I like I cherry pick a few of my favourites and tend to just to buy fat quarters. This time I knew I would be…… Continue reading Dollhouse Cross Stitch Quilt
When my lovely friend told me last year that she was expecting their 2nd baby in June I knew right away I wanted to make them a baby quilt. We’ve been friends for about 10 years ago, I first met her in a very difficult time of my life and she was there for me…… Continue reading If you go down to the woods today…
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. I’ve tried finger pressing to no good effect and figured they would have a similar affect so have always favoured using an iron to get a nice…… Continue reading My new favourite sewing tool
Just a quick post to share with you my progress on box 4 of my Blooming Blossom quilt. I know I say it every month but I’m so in love with this. The fabric that Sew and Quilt have chosen is just so beautiful and uses fabric that I wouldn’t normally pick and yet I really love! I am a…… Continue reading Blooming Blossom Quilt – Box 4
