Where do I begin? Just make a mark, they say. Just cut the fabric, they say. But sometimes it seems so much harder than that. It’s that whole blank page thing – wanting to get that first page just right. …

I love to start by choosing the central fabric which can showcase nice large patterned design as you will need 10″ square of it. You can then use the same fabric…

Looks lovely. 🙂

Welcome to my UKQU world…
Four years ago I made a Facebook group to fill a void. A void where quilters sewed alone, we needed to moan about rising cotton prices and find out which fabric shops are still going. S…

Thank you, loving the site…plus it’s good to know my small pile of UFO’s are not that extreme yet hahahaha.

The site is looking great. Looking forward to all the new developments.

Well done Juliette, getting one finished, albeit by someone else, is a starting point. Also well done with the website. Little acorns and all that.
-
Great intro Juliet, yes you have lots to finish, I know I have seen the boxes lol. Looking forward to your next one. The website is such a good resource centre for us all.
It is great to see your dream is coming true, through you I have found some amazing friends, which includes you at the top. -
I love the orange quilt Juliet – traditional with a twist of citrus! You really must finish it.
-
And thankgoodness you did. Or none of ys would be able to see lovely things like these!

These tops are fantastic Juliet, you must finish them when you can. And thank you for starting up this site in time for when I began my quilting journey, it’s been a treasure trove of information, advice and the wow factor for me.

A common problem when sewing fine fabrics or small pieces together is that your machine seems to want to ‘eat’ them. Here’s one way of overcoming that issue.
Simply place a small piece of paper under the fabri…

Juliet Nice wrote a new post, Quilting Acronyms 8 years, 6 months ago
Do you know you UFO’s from your WIP’s? Quilters have acronyms for everything!
BC = bias cutBOB = Beginner’s Only Block (swap)

DF = double fold
DSM = Domestic Sewing M…

Never heard of some of these, others made me laugh!

You beat me too it!

Brilliant – not heard some of these!

Would be helpful for those who don’t know the meanings, if acronyms were hypelinked or popup created across the website linked to this list. Saves getting asked frequently what it means.
Perhaps I should post this in website suggestions? -
CRAFT = cannot remember a flipping thing! I often have craft moments!

I’m following your Fancy Forest quilt along, I’ve had the pattern for ages; I tried an owl, which went wrong, and then a fox that turned out just right. You might just inspire me to try that owl again 🙂

Hi Alison the pattern had sat on my shelf for nearly two years so a QAL seemed a perfect excuse to actually get it made. I was looking at the owl today …. hmmmm glad I didn’t start with that. You can join in any time if you fancy – thistles for January and Bunnies for February. Thanks for popping by and taking the time to leave a comment.
