I had hoped to have a couple more of these blocks finished before I shared an update with you, but seeing as my progress has got a little (ok a lot) behind I thought I’d share the one block I have finished since my last post on this. I’m really happy with this one. I…… Continue reading Mandolin Quilt Update
I’ve made a couple of these little pouches now and when I got my hands on the fabric range Autumn Rain by Dashwood Studio I instantly thought that it would make a lovely little Dresden pouch, the fussy cutting opportunities for this fabric makes it just perfect! I also think it’s a very appropriate theme…… Continue reading Sweet Autumn Rain Dresden Pouch
Another month and it hasn’t disappointed, once again the fabrics that have been picked are so beautiful! In my haste to get started I did actually make a mistake, forgetting the mantra measure twice cut once! I cut what was supposed to be diamonds into jewels instead. I was cutting out the fabrics at 6am…… Continue reading Blooming Blossoms Box 3
In a previous post I mentioned that I had signed up to two BOM clubs, today I’d like to talk about the second, the Mandolin Quilt. I tried really hard to avoid this one mainly because I had already signed up to the Blooming Blossoms Quilt and the Into the Jungle SAL but in the end resistance was futile,…… Continue reading Mandolin Quilt BOM
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)

One of the great things about having Mabel is I now have the perfect excuse to make all the…… Continue reading Pixelated Unicorn Quilt
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!
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
My round-up of week 2 of the Pinnie Parade! So far I’m still managing to post a pinnie a day even while being away! I’m actually really enjoying this. It’s a great way to use up all those little scraps and revisit fabrics you forgot you had because they have been retired to the scrap…… Continue reading Pinnie Parade – Week 2
Over on Instagram we’re having a pin cushion sew-along. A pinnie a day for a month. It has been lots of fun joining in but also seeing everybody else’s creations. I thought I’d share with you my pincushions from the first 7 days. Day 1 –Â This is actually one from a couple of years ago.…… Continue reading Pinnie Parade – Week 1
