Jane Galley wrote a new post, Keep it Simple-Appliqué Flower Block 5 years, 8 months ago
One thing I love about appliqué is that you can make it as complicated or as simple as you like. With raw edge appliqué you can create images that have a childlike quality. Something fresh and simple can be ple…

Something good had to come out of the spring Lockdown and the UKQU 2020 Mini Swap was, for me, one of the good things! I think we have all found our inner resilience during this challenging time and it has…

Irving Berlin, 1926
I just love this song, written by Irving Berlin way back in 1926, and the line ‘Nothing but Blue Skies from now on‘ really heralds in Spring. This April has been no exception; the skies have…

I was blown away by this Ruth. Truly stunning in execution and design. And very appealing in its use of fabrics, techniques and concept!

Thank you very much Margaret. It was such a pleasure to make and I learnt a lot. Going to build on this style /theme to see how far I can take it.

I don’t know about you, but I feel as if I’ve missed spring. The last time I went driving anywhere, the snowdrops and crocuses were carpeting the green spaces. Then came Covid-19 and I seem to have missed the…

Good idea to mount the Daffodil as a picture, I did that with my Landmarks and I am so pleased with it. Even on the darkest day – your daffodill will shine out. Xx

The advantage of making your own tassles is that you will always have them to match the item you are making. You can match colour, materials and size. I’ve always made them before using cardboard so I was quick t…

When we were asked to do the music themed quilts, it was all good fun. There wasn’t a lot of pressure on us as it was all down to personal interpretation of the song.
So the Bloggers asked for another challenge. I…

Very successful too! I love your viewpoint: it really works. Nice to see varied techniques being used so well.

What a great wall hanging! I like the fabrics used especially as they were scraps. I am glad you enjoyed doing this, it is good to learn new tricks. Recognised the Humber Bridge from your interpretation. I really liked doing mine too. Like you, I am looking forward to the next challenge. Home we have more of these Famous Places!

Like the fact that the two sides are different coloured. Also, self healing sounds good. Would like to see how long the mat keeps itself ‘healing’. Thanks for the information.

Thanks Sue. The colours are going to be very useful and will let you know how the self-healing bit lasts.

Very cleve interpretation. I like the slashed ‘love’ opening up to show the people. Don;t know what I would have done to this song….but I really like your way.
