Ruth Garner wrote a new post, Bead Broth 8 years, 4 months ago
16 or 17 years ago I went on a jewellery making taster session at the Bead & Button Bazaar in Earlswood Lake Craft Centre and found that I had quite a passion for it. After a while I was lucky enough to be offered an…

Beading a hobby I’m looking for the time to do! I already embellish bits a pieces with beads and have attended a Beading group a couple of times. Sadly time eludes me doing more however supplies and books are gathering ready for when I have the time.

Time is a problem isn’t it! I see so many things I want to do and, like you, I gather supplies and the time never comes. I did snatch a really nice hour this week when everyone was out and I added a beaded tassel to a gift bag. I had forgotten how much pleasure I get from this sort of thing – and it only took an hour so I was well pleased. . Thank you for reading Sharon.

Can’t wait for more. I love using beads on wall hangings and postcards so to learn more will be great.

Thank you Pat.

Cushion and Quilt from Recycled Shirts
One of the questions I was asked recently was whether patchwork and quilting was expensive. As with everything we do, it’s up to us. It can be very expensive but, on th…

Thanks for the article Jane, I love your shirt cushion and quilt, I have a few shirts in my stash and this may help me find my lost sewing mojo.
My first ever quilt was a rag quilt made with used denim jeans on the front and sweatshirts on the back using QAYG squares no wadding needed. My 6th quilt was made using the leftover strips from the same Jeans, and my leftover scraps of wadding sewn together, and backing was a piece of recycled flannel sheet.
Both are well loved by recipients.With so much waste in the world we should all endeavour to return to reusing and make a few recycled fabric quilts.

Karen, that’s lovely. I did a denim throw for one of my boys, it was made from all the jeans they’d finally grown out of or were too worn to wear. It took years to collect all the pieces and they moaned every time I pinched a pair of jeans, but it is well loved and used by them and all their friends. If you get your sewing mojo back, please do share your photos

Rotary cutters are a very versatile piece of equipment and suit both left and right handed people. My son is left handed and I know in some circumstances, you can adapt to doing things the right handed way. S…
