UK Quilters
I’m always excited about receiving fabulous material to work with but was very surprised at my reluctance to actually cut it up into smaller pieces! I used so many avoidance tactics to start using it and began feeling guilty at not writing this product review sooner. It was fast becoming ‘my precious’ and I wanted…
I must start this review with an apology to Groves for taking so long to write a review – I wanted to showcase the ribbons in just the right way, and the project I chose needed some time and thought. I was delighted to be sent some ribbons – and when the box arrived I…
When https://ukqu.co.uk asked for a couple of us to review some Natural History design fabrics from The Craft Cotton Company , I didn’t hesitate to respond. Our granddaughter, like most children, is just mad about dinosaurs, she also has her 4th birthday coming up, so an ideal opportunity to make something special. But what?…
Explore the Plains Most dinosaurs were herbivores, living on a vegetarian diet of ferns, conifers and other plants This is a gorgeous fat quarter pack of dinosaur fabrics which have been designed by the Cotton Craft Company alongside the Natural History Museum. They are stamped with facts and great images and I particularly love the…
After my previous review of Guterman threads (see here), I was very happy to review this new pack, as I knew how much I like their threads. As with the last thread set, I reviewed there were 10 threads in the pack, but this time it had a rather intriguing metal template! When it arrived,…

At each end of…
Being part of the Bloggerati* I was offered some Scandinavian inspired Christmas fabrics to try out. Below are a few of the designs available in the latest Scandi 2018 range, by Makower. The designs are available in red and grey, and there are also a few solid-ish ‘linen texture’ prints to match. I was sent a…
First, I would like to thank Clover and the UKQU for giving me the privilege of testing the Clover Embroidery Stitching Tool product. I must also apologise for the delay in writing this review. There are several reasons for this. Recovering from an operation took it out of me more than I realised. Secondly, had…
I have, over the past few years found the quickest way to put together the top of an advent calendar due to having to create them in August/September ready for display in the shop for Christmas. It’s not really a job I enjoy so finding the quickest way was a must and doing it differently…
Who doesn’t love a new toy? Especially a sewing one! I was thrilled to be asked to test and review the June Tailor Inc Twist ’n Stitch Pinwheel Ruler. I’ll admit when looking at the pictures I didn’t recognise the pattern as a pinwheel as I usually found pinwheels to use half square triangles so…
The box and its contents sent to me to try! Something new to try and I must admit when I first set eyes on the box of Vlieseline tape I knew I had no dressmaking plans at present to give this a go! Light bulb moment!! Well, who’s to say it’s for dressmaking only? Let’s…
I have been asked to review this Bobbin Rack, so I have tried to be methodical about it – I hope it makes sense! Price: I have found this item on the internet between £8 and £20. My thoughts when I unpacked it: That’s very small! I had understood that I was going to receive…
