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…

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.

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, 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…
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…
Many of you will know or will have heard of, Abbieanne Patchwork and Design. She’s a wonderful character, full of exuberance and a joy to be around so when I happened to be on holiday in Cornwall this summer I thought I’d call in and see her famous ‘Therapy Cupboard’. Abbieanne’s Therapy Cupboard Abbie is oft…
So here I sit broken hearted, forgot my password and can’t get started!!! 😂 …….. Hi Everyone! I wasn’t at all sure what I would be wittering on about today other than the Mystery Quilt BOM’s, but I’ve just found an accidental topic! Older age and technical stuff during lockdown! Now, I thought I was…
