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 […]

a peak inside Well! It seems I’ve officially lost the pot (and the plot, you may think). So a little something for Ladies Day! front (+ red/pink binding because it was just a bit too low volume without it) But I’m resisting wearing it in case the teapot never turns up and I decide to […]
