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 […]

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 – […]
Read More…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.

Since Friday, I’ve only managed to put together four centres for my Scrappy? Sew Be It! bee blocks, which I mentioned in last week’s WIP post. I’m hoping to end up with 36 blocks like this – And I’m thinking I’ll get a selection of the stars onto the foundation paper and then do all […]
