Winds and Tradewinds

For my second entry in the Bloggers Quilt Festival, I really wanted to enter my Tradewinds Quilt, which I made around Christmas as a gift for my eldest daughter. But, unfortunately, I only had inside, Winter photos, which really didn’t do justice to the beautiful fabrics. 1. Trade Winds Finished Rolled, 2. Trade Winds Finished, 3. […]

Eat, Sleep, Sew!

Unfortunately, I finished this seconds too late to link up with Le Challenge! It began simply enough enough with some sketches… And an exciting new applique technique I read about on Karen’s blog. I found it was much less clunky than my usual freezer paper efforts and you can get an idea from the wings… …but […]

The Old Man Goes to the Festival!

I was wondering about what to enter into the Quilt Festival at Amy’s Creative Side and I suddenly remembered my ‘old man and the sea’ wall hanging. Unfortunately, I only have dull Winter photos because I made it in December and gave it to my son, who lives by the sea in Portsmouth. I’ve decided […]

Blue Monday!

Yesterday, I finished Cindy’s block and that means I’m technically no longer behind in the bees – yay! But not for long unless I get this month’s three done soon. I was too tired to concentrate on another bee block, though, and I noticed my box of solid scraps was looking very blue so I […]

If you’ve been following my blog lately, you might not be surprised to see my design-wall-piano is still going with the Bee theme. Today I finished the mug block, above for Sana in the Star of Africa Bee. She is making a wall hanging with the theme ‘Home is where the heart is’. I made […]

Really Random Thursday!

I’ve just realised it’s Thursday and I’d nearly forgotten about randomness! So two random things this week… 1. I’ve been meaning to ask someone/everyone about this email from blogger… Is this a good idea or is this how people inadvertently become noreplybloggers? 2. I had a quick look through my photos to see if I could find anything interesting […]

Twirling Asterisk!

I’ve been very tempted to join in with Spring Fever… But I’d thought I’d better give it a miss because for one thing I don’t have many stringy, or potentially stringy, scraps and for another thing I resolved to sew nothing but bee blocks until I get myself up-to-date (not to mention my that trip-a-long […]

Meet Joanna!

Thoughts are like butterflies. They appear out of nowhere and most of them should probably be left to pass by. But when I thought about having a piano (which I don’t really want) in my sewing room and not having a design wall (which I would like) and about having some random pieces of curtain […]
