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…
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…
I love a Block of the Month – I mean, I REALLY love them. I will confess to having several on the go at the moment, and one of them is Girl’s Day Out. I saw this advertised on the Villavin Crafts Facebook page, and I knew at once that I wanted to do it.…
I am a bit of a sucker for different gadgets and gizmos – anything to make life a little easier. As an example, I used to find joining the ends of binding a bit tricky – until I bought the binding tool. That certainly made life easier (although, truth be told, since then I’ve found…
I feel we all probably need something to sew, something to keep our minds and fingers occupied while locked down, in a high tier or whatever, wherever, we happen to be at the moment. To which end I have dug out the worksheets for the Puzzle Quilt class I should have been teaching at The…
Jo Hendy has a treat (or several) in store for quilters once again. I have tried hard to limit my Block of the Month (BOM) subscriptions, and I am a little ashamed to admit that I have some still waiting for me to start them (exactly how many is too many?) – and others that…
– a Scottish Highlands and Islands themed row designed exclusively for UKQU by Corinne Curtis The inspiration for this row came from having recently returned to live in England, after living in first the Western and then the North Isles of Scotland for 17 years. I decided to create four separate blocks that could be…
Hi everyone Finally after several months of doodling, drawing, cutting, stitching and quilting the quilt is completed and we’re ready to start Block 1. The pattern and accompanying tutorial video is available from the online website shop here, and for those of you who want to purchase the Fabric Pack from Cottonpatch direct its available…
Hi Everyone When Sylvia first spoke to me about designing a block of the month for the UKQU website, I was immediately sure that I would make a foundation pieced quilt, I had stars in my head and each one was going to be more challenging than the previous. Well, that didn’t happen, within a…
Some of you will be familiar with the Block of the Month (or BOM), and others will not be. For quite a few years I didn’t give them any thought at all, but about 10 years ago I saw a quilt that I liked and wanted to make. Since then I have subscribed to 12…
BOM=Block of the Month There are a lots of different ways of doing a BOM. In its most basic form, a blogger will release a different blog each month with a tutorial, you source the materials and put them together. Now, they’ve grown from that with shops and designers offering BOM’s at what can sometime…
Well how are we enjoying the new website, the Bloggers are fab and so diverse, the shops are so tempting as are the free patterns. So far I have signed up for the Mystery Quilt by Abbieanne (Click here) and am excitedly awaiting its arrival. I have also joined in to The Block of the…
