I am pleased to say that the foundation paper piecing (FPP) pattern for the UK Quilters United LOGO is now available to download for FREE in my shop. Two sizes are available, but do feel free to print at any scale and adjust seam allowances / sashing accordingly.

Seven years of teaching, running my own patchwork shop and being daily surrounded by quilters of all abilities I have noticed many things about people’s attitude to sewing and one of them which is valid for most of u…

I received your Cathedral Windows book this morning…it’s beautiful!! Can’t wait to make something xx

Wonderful Pam, glad to hear it arrived well. Looking forward seeing your creations on the UKQU facebook page!

The quilt police do exist, she came to our guild and told me my skills were seriously lacking for someone who had been quilting as long as i had and perhaps i should ask my husband to help more around the house and give me time to quilt more. She suggested at least 30 minutes every day and was shocked when i was not pleased with her statements. This definitely has taken some joy away from my quilting.

NO! What a seriously awful thing for anyone to say, Deb Quilter. That might be (just about) OK in the context of learning for a formal qualification where high standards are required, but is not at all appropriate for anyone quilting for enjoyment. I’m with Vendulka all the way on this issue.

Many people take their hobby very seriously. Thankfully the majority quilt for enjoyment, which is why the 20:20 rule should be practiced more

Dear @debquilter. What an awful thing to say to someone, sorry to hear about your experience! What that person should do is spent less time behind a sewing machine and more time around people practising being nice and human! I hope my article made you feel a little bit better and please take no notice of people like that, they are only projecting their own insecurities and it has nothing to do with you. If you are happy with your creations who are they to judge that! Enjoy and keep sewing!

Well said!

Hear, hear!! It really is all about what you want to make as a quilter and how you want to make it.

Cheered me up, thank you. Always worried about them police.

Brilliant

So this month I’m sharing the first of my ‘Scrap-Buster’ patterns. I don’t know any sewist who can bear to throw away scraps of fabric… after all, you never know when it might come in handy! You might notice th…

It’s lovely 🙂

Thanks Alison! I hope you have fun making it x

Such a cute and useful project…..one can never have enough pin cushions. Great blog Gini x

I’m going to give this a go. Thank you

What a lovely little project. I’m with you on scrap storing – I think it stems from my early playgroup leader days when we had to gather resources from everywhere and make the most of what we had (no money to buy things). I still ‘hoard’ to recycle now. Another thing to try – exciting.

Nina replied to the topic Website Improvements in the forum UKQU 8 years, 4 months ago
Having opened a shop on the website last night, I’m thrilled to see that I’ve already had a few downloads (after all the patterns are for free, and we all love that!). Looking in my Seller’s Dashboard, all of the orders are listed as ‘Processing’. Shouldn’t this automatically be set to Completed, Processed, Done or something similar? After all t…[Read more]

Fancy making your own UK Quilters United logo? Head over to my shop, where you can download the letters for free. Hopefully these’ll be useful if you’d like to appliqué our UKQU logo to your own makes. Two sizes are available. Paper piecing pattern is coming shortly (it’s being tested at the moment).

Vendulka Battais wrote a new post, Magic clips Review 8 years, 4 months ago
I think by now most of you have seen the novelty of clips to hold your fabric together instead of the pins. I have tried the ordinary clips and I guess it’s just a matter of a habit or preference.
But then I was in…

What a great review. Something to add to my wish list. Great wall hanging too

Thank you ladies, I’m glad you enjoyed the review and like the hanging!

Thank you for reviewing these!

Interesting review, and an amazing wall hanging 🙂

Could you tell me how wide these ‘small’ clips are, trying to work out what size to order but not much information online and there seems to be regular size, small size and mini, Thanks
