Celebrations blog hop When it was suggested that the Bloggerati might like to take part in another blog hop, I thought I was prepared. I then saw what the topic was – Celebrations, and in looking at the list of suggested elements we might like to tackle, I knew immediately what I was going to…
Like most this year my family had some celebrations planned. My son’s 18th in the first lockdown, our Silver Wedding anniversary in July and then, my own big 5 0 in the second lockdown. This time last year I would never have believed we would be putting off big celebrations until 2021. The advantage is…
I’m going to share all the tips and tricks for making and using Flying Geese units in this, the third instalment of my Skilful Skyful series. Finished Flying Geese unit These little units crop up in lots of blocks, and also in borders. They have a large triangle flanked by two smaller triangles, and always…

Hi! My name is Eleanor, and I run a small online quilt shop called justsewnow.com. We have a large and varied selection of fabric, stacked right to the roof! We recently put in a large flower bed packed to the brim (it’s sort of a theme here!) with flowers for all seasons. When this flower…

Like the cornflower, people with MND show remarkable strength in coping with this devastating disease. I decided to make this block for the GFBH2020 as it is so beautiful and has a powerful…

Hi and welcome to my first block design (exciting !). I joined this blog hop following an email I received from Craft Cotton Co (via UKQU). I am involved in writing tutorials and blogs for them and the shout out came for anyone who wanted to get involved in the Blog Hop and I thought,…
I used templates provided with a quilt magazine, scraps of cotton in colours of choice, a 12 inch square in border fabric. Print out the template sheet onto heavy paper or light card. Cut out templates. Using the colour for the centre of the flower, cut and attach fabric to 4 of the elongated hexagon…
Pam Moore wanted to join in with our amazingly popular Garden Flowers Blog Hop, but as happens from time to time, life got in the way. Not wanting to disappoint we asked Lyn Butler to help out and this is what Pam told her. In Pam Moores words: I normally spend more time at our…
Simple Stylised Roses For the Garden Flowers 2020 blocks, I had intended to create a Bindweed block. After all, we do have it in our gardens …if we are not vigilant!
