UK Quilters
Hi Everybody!! Where does the time go? Hard to believe I’m sat here writing this on New Years Day 2024! Hope you’ve all had a fabulous 2023 patchwork and quilting? It wouldn’t be New Year for me if I didn’t have a new Mystery Quilt BOM (block of the month) due to start this month, so…
Hello Everybody! I’ve been some busy!! – I had already designed and made a quilt but decided against it for the next mystery….why? The process of deciding on a design is always a bit fraught for me, I have far too many ideas and techniques floating about in my head. It actually makes things difficult…
The last few months for me have been very strange, family duties needing to be done. As many of you are no doubt aware, it takes a toll from creativity and what we generally refer to as our ‘Mojo’ did a runner on me! I need a clam space, time and colour to let my…
Hi All! Just thought I’d scribble a quick update having attended my first main quiltshow since, well, a long time ago!! It was so much fun to be back out there and teaching again, 6 workshops a day for 3 days – lots of new and old faces, lots of natterings and laughter and a…
Just a heads up for everyone, my next Mystery BOM (Block of the month) will be starting very soon!! The fabrics are picked, the design is in my head…….. just got to make it and write a few patterns now!! Those who know me know, I never really know whats going to happen with a…
Sylvia – the lady responsible for the UKQU Website put a challenge out to us Bloggers for some new patterns and blogs with flowers as the subject. A specific flower would be allocated to us as individuals…. now that’s just too much of a temptation for me, flowers, nature, colourful etc etc etc so I…
Hello All! I know I say this every time I write a blog, but where does the time go?? (……having fun completing a mystery BOM perhaps?) It’s just about March already, hopefully we’re all still safe after germs & storms? Quite possibly owners of more fabulous pieces of patchwork & quilting items? 10 months ago…
Hi All! Its been a while again! Life keeps over taking me, where is this year going at such a rate of knots?!!….. Loads of new designs this year, TV stuff and prep for a fabulous Irish retreat in a couple of weeks!! The design for the retreat is a Mystery at the moment, I can’t…
Hi All, I truly cannot believe time has passed so quickly for me this year! So much time consuming stuff has been going, so heres the latest Mystery Reveal……. and the introduction to the next Mystery Quilt BOM due out in September. The ‘Sunflowers Mystery BOM’ which has been an amazing mystery! So many people…
I’m usually on UKQU designing Mystery Quilts, but I felt the need to tell you all about a recent personal make…….. Memory Quilt – indeed it is………Quite an experience to say the least…. What have I learned from this though?……. well I’ve always been a bit ambivalent where memory quilts were concerned. I know they…
Sunflowers!!! This mystery is all about happy, cheerful, warmth and creativity…..I hope!! That’s certainly how I see it anyway. Sunflowers are my happiest flower (freesias my best smelliest!). Yellow is my favorite colour, it personifies ‘happy’ for me, (a warm yellow mind, I’m not into acid yellows, they jar the nerves a bit) so I…
I have the privilege of offering the Mystery Quilt BOM’s for the UKQU members……. we’re on our 6th!! ‘An English County Garden’ is the name of the Mystery Quilt BOM running at the moment, we’re half way through, but its never too late to join us?!!! Its quite difficult for me to describe how fabulous…
