UK Quilters
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?!!!

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…
Picture the scene if you can: you are a child in care, and for whatever reason you cannot stay at the place you have called home for the past year (or two, or longer). You are meeting new people for maybe the first time, or perhaps the second or third. You don’t know what to…
I’m so very excited!! Its almost like giving birth (I can’t be sure though as I have no actual children!) seems to me it must be similar…. many months, in fact years now, in the design, the making, the writing, the teaching, the quilting, DD must be a toddler now by my reckoning! He has…

Finally I can show the world our latest (our 3rd already!!) finished UKQU Mystery Quilt! A year in the making. A quilt of 2 halves….. the background is a full sized not so traditional, traditional sampler (its been Abbie-fied), once that was made in RUBIES, a CREAM appliqué has been applied to the whole of…

Each year I review what I have managed to achieve in the past year, and then I make my New Year Resolutions, and also list the things that I would like to achieve in the coming year. It is around the end of the year that I do this, just to give me more time…
When I agreed to take part in this project I was chosen to complete the FIRE quilt. A daunting task without a doubt, but I decided to wait and see what everyone else created before I made my plans. The rows arrived a few weeks before I started work on them, I wanted to do…
I’m very privileged to have main responsibility for the the UKQU Pinterest account and I love it. It means I get to browse around the new products our members are listing and get to see lots of helpful reviews as well as hints and tips. Our bloggers are also able to pin photos from their…
