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…

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).

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

Thankyou Juliet

I love the stained glass pieces – and looking at your blog has given me ideas as for the layout of photos on mine! It also reminds me that I really need to get on and finish a few more things; I feel a bit like Flynn Carson (in The Librarian films and series) – loads of PHDs – so much time, so little to do – no wait, strike that – reverse it! (Film reference there – but which film?!)

Not seen this before, Lyn your work is fantastic!! Well done! I know this was a while ago and have no doubt your work is even better now! Love it!

Thanks John

I really love the sewline glue pen for applique too. It holds the edges under well, but doesn’t cause any problems with your needle. I have tried using regular glue sticks, and while they are a lot cheaper, you can’t beat the sewline pen for its fine tip, better hold, and being a type of glue that just seems to work much better on fabric.
-
Corinne I quite agree, I have used the cheap made for paper craft glue sticks in the past and they tend to build up on the needle.

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.
