Back in late June I saw posts on the UKQU Facebook page, talking about a mini quilt swap, I had never done any type of a quilt swap before, and I was immediately intrigued. I had been in a bit of a sewing slump and…

I loved reading this Maggie as I have just completed my first ever swap and am biting my nails in anticipation of posting it out soon. I can’t wait to see if my swap partner likes it or not….

Oh Denise, you are so brave to write this, it must have been so difficult for you to put it to paper feeling the way that you were. I feel for you and the frustrations that you must have felt. My husband suffers with mental health and other medical issues so I see first hand how it affects people. I’m pleased that you are slowly finding the help…[Read more]

I hate winter, I’m a winter baby but feel that I should live in a hot country. I have no oomph for anything in winter, I just want to curl up under a quilt and stay on the sofa in front of the tv.
I felt the s…

Good luck with your running challenges Christine. I think the word Focus is a good one to pick if you are going to be picking a word, and I wish you luck with your focusing throughout the year, maybe you can do a blog in December to let us know how you got on…

Your quilt is beautiful
I am tempted to make a sampler style quilt and to learn how to do so many different blocks, you have inspired me to try this Lori Holt quilt – thank you so much -

This was a really useful read Cheryl, it reminded me of things that I had learnt and then forgotten. The tips are useful and I wish I had read something like this when I first started my journey 4 years ago, before I convinced myself that I needed everything that had the word ‘quilting’ on it and now sits untouched in my sewing room!

Reading this really made me chuckle, you could be me or I you! I’m the same, muttering and telling myself off and to just get on with it. Anyway, your blocks are lovely and I look forward to seeing pics of the completed quilt.

I bought several sizes of the June Tailor rulers from the US during a visit there and I tried one on my return and I couldn’t get on with it. Some of them still have the plastic on them, I will probably detash them one day.
I tend to use my long ruler for most of my cutting now. -

What a lovely quilt. It’s amazing the thoughts that this raised in you, but at least they were all happy thoughts and memories. I’ve made a few memory / sentimental quilts recently but luckily I only knew one of the ‘late’ people and not that well, otherwise I think I would have been in floods of tears, as I shed a few tears making the quilts and…[Read more]

Recently I was contacted by someone who had gotten my details from a mutual friend. She had lost her husband this year and her daughters had lost their dad. She asked me if I would make a special quilt for each of…

I know that we are all fed up of not being able to continue with our normal lives, but hasn’t it been great having extra time to work on projects that we didn’t have time to do before?
