How many of these can you relate to .. go on, be honest!

I was there and I can’t guess any of them! I’m sure I did see numbers 3 and 9, but can’t remember whose feet they were on.

There is something very special about putting a lot of time and creativity into making a quilt and then passing the finished quilt on to its new owner. When we make for family or friends, we want out quilts to be the…

Thanks for this introduction. I am really looking forward to reading the rest of the series, as I enjoy hand sewing, but my hand quilting so far has been just fairly basic straight lines.

I think you have done well to stand firm on this, and let family and friends know why.

This is a fat quarter friendly way of quickly and easily making reusable gift bags, as an alternative to gift wrapping paper. I made some of these at Christmas to try them out and have no hesitation in asking for…
Thanks for the inspiration Corinne! I’ve made some reusable fabric gift bags this Christmas. I modified yours, by skipping the ‘threading through’ part and instead added a ribbon in one of the side seams to use for a simple knot & bow to close the bag. Happy Christmas xx
