The Beast is looking very good although I did get quite excited because I thought you had finished it! I can sympathise a little, I felt a lot of relief when I had finished my last quilt! I am looking forward to your February blog post!

Thank you, useful and you have reminded me that my daughter would like one of these, I rather fancy the idea as well.

I really like your quilt designs! I’ve just searched and found the magazine with your sailboat quilt design in it, Goodness knows why I didn’t buy it at the time! I bet a series about improv blocks would be inspirational!

I’m going to keep up with this if only to decide to cross the idea off completely!!

They are lovely Lyn! I am almost tempted to tackle a small sofa in a similar way, it’s only two tub chairs pushed together after all….

Love it Cheryl, you are me! 🙂

Really useful guide, thank you! Another tip I would add is to make sure the labelling stays with the wadding or label it clearly yourself! Probably obvious to most but the number of times I’ve forgotten to do this and have to guess!

I’d love to win and a batik backing to a quilt would be fab! I would choose whichever set off the front of the quilt well but I do like fossil fern. Cathryn

A lovely post with which I completely empathise. It also took sadness for me to appreciate that here and now is the best place to be so enjoy every moment of it. I want somehow for my children to learn this before they lose someone important in their lives.

Hello Helen, As an occasional purchaser of the magazine I would like to take you up on this offer, not sure how though? Can you point me to the correct link please?

Another blog I’m looking forward to keeping up with and you appear to have my name. I am a charity shop addict and please make sure you kick me off here and insist I go and make something!

A perfect quilt!

I like altering and adding to my clothes, most of which come from charity shops! I am a terrible procrastinator though so I will be using your blog to inspire and get me going!

Looking forward to this although it is thanks to your posts that the thought of one day purchasing a long arm quilter crossed my mind!!
