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…
I’m writing this a week before the Bloggerati retreat – and it could well be the last Bloggerati retreat. I feel sad should this be the case, as the retreat has given me the chance to meet like-minded people and to establish some firm friendships. The impending trip also brings a few feelings of guilt…
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…
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.…
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…
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…
Last year I had a word of the year for the first time – my word last year was ‘FOCUS’. This year I’ve chosen ‘FINISH’ as my word for the year. It may seem strange to have such a word as my word for the year – a word that can seem rather negative, a…
It is a chilly early October day – well, it feels chilly to me as I’m sat here on my chaise longue in my sewing room, surrounded by fabric. That sounds very exotic and posh doesn’t it? I’m going to let you carry on imagining it, rather than showing you a photo, as the photo…
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…
Running a 200 Club means advertising it – and so it needed a logo. The whip has been cracked – and it does seem a while since I last wrote a blog. I’d love to say it is due to me doing so much sewing. However, that is not really the case. I have been…
