Running a 200 Club means advertising it – and so it needed a logo.
The whip has been cracked – and it does seem a while since I last wrote a blog. I’d love to say it is due to me doing so much sewing. Howe…

We’re a month into the year already – well, we will be by the time you read this, it will be a month. Did you see posts about people trying to decide what their word for the year was going to be? Well, this year I d…

An admirable ideal for this jumbled year. I think mine should be “ finish”.

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…

Thank you – and sorry for the late reply. I certainly had fun doing it, and it is always great when a project comes together in the way you envisaged it!

Thank you – and sorry for the late reply. I also like using scrap textiles, although I’ve recently started to question my sanity in saving and collecting all the little pieces, snippets and thread ends. I’m starting to be a little more ruthless with what I keep and what I don’t – but only after holding on to it for a while!

Celebrations blog hop
When it was suggested that the Bloggerati might like to take part in another blog hop, I thought I was prepared. I then saw what the topic was – Celebrations, and in looking at the list of s…

What a super idea! Though I am an avid user of all scrap textiles, this idea was eye-opening to me! Thank you!

I’m not one to shy away from a challenge, and so I jumped at the chance to be part of the UKQU blog hop – especially when the theme was flowers. I instantly knew what flowers I would choose – tulip…

Jo Hendy has a treat (or several) in store for quilters once again. I have tried hard to limit my Block of the Month (BOM) subscriptions, and I am a little ashamed to admit that I have some still waiting for me to…

A good idea for keeping the boxes out of the light. I have quite a few of my boxes under my quilting frame.

Thank you Maggie – I am an organiser, but not when it comes to my scraps! And the cupboard looks tidy because I was searching for the missing block I mention in the blog and tidied it up; I found the block, but not in the cupboard at all!! The rest of my sewing room is not so tidy – but that is due to the amount of stuff in here. The sewing…[Read more]

One of the questions I see often on various Facebook posts and pages is ‘How do you store your fabric?’. Then there are the posts that show how people have stored their fabric – you know the ones – those pictures app…

I also use storage boxes for my fabric, separated into rough colour families. We deliberately bought a metal framed bed so that I could store the boxes underneath – keeps them out of the light to avoid fading

There’s an idea! I know that some people following the Stitch-Along have opted for this. As I want to do each block twice, I may decide to do log cabin for some of them.

It’s been a funny old time…and it still is a little bit strange. I’m sure that there are some of you out there who have managed to significantly reduce your stash, sewing for a range of causes out there. I have been…

So pretty! They would look gorgeous as log cabin block square centres, picking up the key shades from the embroidery in fabrics, too.
