I love patchwork and quilting; I love learning new techniques and perfecting the old ones, but most of all I enjoy passing on what I have learnt to others. The most important thing is that we all have loads of fun!

Only 11 months to go.....

....until Christmas! I made up a few samples to give you some more ideas for what to do with those little 3" Picture Squares which seem to be rather popular, although I still get people asking 'What do you do with them?'
  • Well, I cut out the square of fabric (picture plus 1/4" margin) and also a 3" square of scrap cardboard. 


  • Stick the fabric to the cardboard and fold the edges over the back. Hold it all in place with Fabric Glue.
  • Then I decorate the pictures with Glitter Glue, leave them to dry completely (overnight).
  • Stick the picture squares to Blank Cards with little Sticky Pads and add some Peel-Offs to finish.

More stock in stock

Finished upating the stock levels with yesterday's delivery, just in time for another couple of boxes to arrive. Now we have Quilting Notions all over the dining room table as well as the workshop!
Got some more prep done for next week's Beginner's Block of the Month Class, so I'm all ready to go on that one now.
Sent out our Patchwork & Quilting Newsletter telling people about the Blog, so now I'm writing in the blog and telling you about the Newsletter!

Venturing Out

First day out driving in the icy snow. We went down to Townings Farm shop to pick up some South Downs lamb for dinner tonight, having lived on things out of the freezer for the past week and on Christmas leftovers the week before that.
Just got back from the farm in time for deliveries to arrive - the workshop is now full of wadding, 505 spray, rotary mats and blades etc. etc.
Didn't get much quilting done today, but getting ready for next week's classes.
