Been looking at these for a while now. I’m hoping they will be at FOQ this year as I missed her last year.
-
I am sure that they are planning on being at FOQ, SHE’s a lovely lady, she’ll be demonstrating them on her stand too.

Thank you Mandi, they are so easy to work with, a really good investment.

Glad you enjoyed it. Margaret will be demonstrating at FOQ if you’re planning a visit.

Well here I am, the beginning of February and dead chuffed that I did this list and even happier that the first number pulled from the dish was a Rabbit just waiting for her dress and bloomers. What a great first UFO…

What a nice Blog. Thank you. I was interested in the pattern for the Glass Dish pincushion and clicked on the link….nothing, says no permission. Wonder if the link is broken or if I did something wrong??
-
Hi Sue, thank you for your kind words. I’ve just clicked on it myself and it appears to be OK. Maybe try again. In the meantime I will see if I can get someone else to try. Let me know if successful in getting pattern.
-
Sharon – it stil says No permission on the Dashboard. Is it a free download or a paid for one?
-
It’s free Sue, maybe go to my shop and locate it that way. Search for free patterns. I’ve just had an email receipt for someine else downloading sof it’s there somewhere!. This is all still new. Keep me posted l’ll get a copy to you somehow.
-
Thanks Sharon – glad it is working for others… Will have a look on your shop.

What a brilliant idea writing a list of all the things that need finishing and picking them out at random! Love the rabbit. What a lovely gift for one of the lucky grandchildren! The valentines display is beautiful! Cannot wait to read more.

Thank you Emily.
My next ufo is waiting in the wings to be aired on here. Rabbit still waiting to be adopted!

Now Christmas is over I can get down to the important things in life – quilting! As much as I enjoy Christmas and seeing the family (a lot!) it does get in the way of everything else quilty going on. Since starting m…

Hello Nicola,FPP. Is my first love too and for almost the same reason-the precise nature of it and those lovely sharp points! My DH bought EQ7 for me 2years ago and I upgraded last year to EQ8. Such a fantastic product,although I will need to live to at least 150 to make all the quilts I have designed. If you haven’t already found her,check out the On Point Quilter,Kari Schell.She is a really good teacher.
-
I am absolutely loving EQ8 and I am doing one of Kari’s courses at the moment. The only drawback is a seem to spend more time on it than actually sewing!
-
Yes,I found that so now I limit my class time to evenings in front of the TV(swtched off because there is rarely anything worth watching)

I’d heard of freezer paper (FP) but didn’t quite know how to use it so I was a little perplexed as where to start.
The box gave me some examples of how I could use it for appliqué and a web search brought up a…

I use it for a number of different things but not piecing.

Thank you for your straightforward explanation, and visuals, on using freezer paper. I’m now tempted to redo one of Carol Munroe’s house blocks again

For those on a budget buying things like fabric is flushing money down the drain. For under £5 with a little time and effort, it is achievable.
The amount of times I have heard people say they cannot afford…

Great post Denise. I have just started a quilt made from everyone else’s scraps – cant believe that they would have thrown away!
-
That’s great I hope you can share the photo of it when it’s done. I have gained so much fabric from other peoples cast offs.

I’ve done this since childhood and you get some great finds along the way. One tip I’d share is that when you take the buttons off thread them together. That way you’ll always have a set of buttons together. Great article
-
I nearly did that but forgot. I have so many buttons now that I should really sort them out.
