After the Christmas rush I have had a sewing break, it lasted about four days. Then I couldn’t bear to sit and do nothing.
Do you make New Years resolutions? This year I said I wasn’t going to bother but I’m r…

Got any plans for the year ?
How about a free BOM (Block of the Month) to mark the months off?

Nina wrote a new post, UKQU Book Club – the books so far 6 years, 5 months ago
With one year coming to an end and another one starting, we tend to pause and take the opportunity to look back at the year that has been. Hence this may be a good time to do a recap of the books we have read so far…

What a lovely long list of books (my first love, if not my last ) and I haven’t read them all! It is amazing how inspiring quilting is! The trouble is, they then move onto the ever longer to-do pile.

Corinne Curtis wrote a new post, Good enough to give? 6 years, 5 months ago
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…

This is really thoughtful. I often see people say they don’t like it so they will pass it on. Excellent advice.

I’ve come up with the marvellous idea that I can get my nephews quilt done as a xmas present, sounds quite simple says my other half (who has no clue what I’m doing). I’ve completed the top of the quilt, added borde…

Such lovely movement in this quilt. I could not even contemplate all that hand quilting myself. Well done!

Nina wrote a new post, Stash busting idea – reversible odds & sods bag 6 years, 5 months ago
Have you got too many fat quarters gathering dust? Two of them can rather quickly be turned into a really useful little bag.
For newborns, the bag is perfect for a few nappies, wet wipes, bottle, muslin,…

Juliet Nice wrote a new post, What colour is your Christmas? 6 years, 5 months ago
Christmas is traditionally red and green, I’m sure we all remember having a green tree and the tree lights with flower covers that had to be checked every year for that one bulb that died and stopped the whole t…

Very thought provoking! There are some lovely fabrics there, they got me thinking….? Do I go up to raid my stash for the lovely red panel I have, or do I pray my other half doesn’t have a bright idea and decorate the house while I am out? Hnhmmm,….

Wow! Great idea Lyn! And such a neat quilt. Didn’t know that about Penny Lane and can’t believe Paul McCartney is 78!

Thanks Ruth x

Double A side with “Strawberry fields for ever” ?

I guessed it too. Very clever Lyn. Beautifully sewn.

Sparkles, the penny, the street sign, just fabulous, as we said in 1963

Nina wrote a new post, My song title challenge 6 years, 6 months ago
When putting my hand up to be given a song title to interpret by making something quilty, I wasn’t at all sure I’d get a song title that I actually recognised; as I had never heard of some of the ones allocated ear…
-
I didn’t get it-too busy to keep up when Prince was in his heyday-but I love it! What a super quilt! So clever, too.
-
I didn’t guess it until the end! Great quilt Nina and great interpretation!!
-
Fantastic Nina! I love it – especially the face, and the clues. I think I got it from clue 2 – that was when I started thinking of songs that I knew with those words!
-
Very clever, but had no clue, still don’t. I have heard of him though.
-
I didn’t get it, I could on think of “send all your kisses to me”. I’m not good with lyrics or Prince . It’s beautifully executed
-
That is a lovely Blog Nina. Such a good interpretation, lots more kisses to you. Xxx

Loving how you have made this quilt, bet you were singing the song as you stitched along!
