BED QUILT – RAINBOW HARE

Belle Rose Dresden Quilt

This post is more a photo finish than a sewing finish but, I do feel that every quilt deserves it’s own blog post! A long time ago I had a small amount of Michael Miller Belle Rose from the French Journal Collection – about a fat quarter, I think. I loved that fabric so much […]

Trunk Full of Quilts

Have you linked up with Soma at Whims and Fancies for Trunk Full of Quilts? When Soma mentioned it, my first thought was that I’d love to join in but I don’t really make many quilts. Then, when I found out wall hangings and cushions could be included so long as they are properly quilted […]

Keep Calm and Break Things…

I’d hate for you to think that I’m one those irritating people who comes along citing silly proverbs about breaking eggs when they know quite well you had no intention of making an omelette… But this is a post in praise of the breaking of things. I don’t know about you but I find breaking […]

MAKING CHRISTMAS, 2013. Week 10

Welcome to MAKING CHRISTMAS, 2013, WEEK 10. Thank you, again, to everyone who is joining in and linking up with Making Christmas. I’m too scared to even count how many days are left now! The Pinterest board continues to be a huge inspiration but the days seems to be going by faster and faster. Next […]

Gingham Squares

I’m not overly […]

Unicorn Days

Speak of the spring, and foison of the year, The one doth shadow of your beauty show, The other as your bounty doth appear; (Shakespeare Sonnet 53) September. Autumn. The evenings draw in and the Mornings are cool and misty. But in the garden it’s a time of abundance. And there’s an exuberance of rich colours – […]

TGIFF

A Friday Finish! This should be the big Taaa Daaa day for the unicorn quilt but, unfortunately, I can’t show you a finished picture. DH and I have come to Portsmouth for a few days to help our eldest daughter move house and to have a mini holiday because tomorrow will be our 28th Wedding […]

WIP

I’ve finally succumbed and bought the book and made a start – so the Zakka Along Tea cosy is my newest work in progress. And I finished my Scrappy-Trip-Along! But I haven’t become a total convert to low volume. I’ve also finished (and posted) the oak tree jewellery roll. I do love colour! Happy Wednesday […]

I’ve finished tripping along!

67″ x 67″ This has been a long trip! I started it at the end of January and had it pieced and half quilted by about the end of February and since then it’s always been in the back of my mind that I really should get it finished up. I really don’t like having […]
