Hi
Check out the Blogger Central .. there are already one or two long arm specialists posting regular blogs on there, plus keep an eye out in the hints and tips section. We will let our team know this is of interest. -
Sharon Reid wrote a new post, New Year’s Resolution and my Works in Progress (WIP) 8 years, 5 months ago
With an ever growing pile of patterns I’m itching to start and an even bigger cupboard full of WIP I have a dilemma over which of the two I should dedicate my 2018 time. The non-sensible thing would be to crack on w…
-
Wow! That is a lot of WIPs, I am seriously impressed 🙂
-
Thank you
-
-
But this means you can’t start any new projects!
-
I’m sure I have more if I was to hunt and if I was to add on my knitting projects!
-
I know, what have I done! I have a clause in that I can start a new project if it’s a present or for shop display, both these options would need to be finished and not added to the WIP’so.
-
-
I hate to think how many I have if I went through my WIP box. Although I call them UFO’s Unfinished Fabric Obsessions.
-
I just started jotting down all my WIPs yesterday …. at least then you know what you’ve got!! Good luck with working through them and hopefully get some ticked off that list 🙂
-
It’s a mammoth tasknow fingers crossed to the list shrinking!
-
Determined to get a few knocked off the list Abigail.
-
-
I really like your idea of hat to pick the month’s WIP out from. I can see that might work for me too. I have some projects that would benefit from some input too! Good luck! Off to write my list!
-
Wold be nice to hear how you get on later in the year Lainie I’m hoping at least to work on some of them, finishinges any will be a bonus.
-
-
I like your WIP strategy – might try something like that myself
-
If you do Corinne let me know how you get on, will be interesting to see how others have tackled the dreaded WIP’s UFO’s etc!
-
-
I love this idea. At first I thought I only have two quilting ufo’s but then remembered my sewing, dressmaking, recycling and knitting projects still to be finished. I’ve got loads – going to write my list today. Thanks for the idea xx
-
I’m working on the one I pulled out for this month. I think I shall be able to cross it off myou list. Fingers crossed. Good luck with your list.
-
-
Hi Sharon, what number did you pick for January ? Dying to know lol. My 2018 NYR is to ‘Finish what I’ve Started’, and for me – although the list is long – I may only finish two or three projects this year as they are all quite big projects.
-
26 Anne, the rabbit, shall be updating my blog shortly and with the next number drawn for February. This is making me think long and hard about my UFO’s!!!

Abigail Sheridan de Graaff wrote a new post, cut&alter – An Introduction 8 years, 5 months ago
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’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.

Hi Fiona, There are a few of us LA quilters that are also bloggers on the site that would be more than happy to answer any questions you have regarding FMQ. I like many started quilting on my domestic machine. If you would like to see a blog om FMQ please feel free to ask.

Welcome to you all and a happy 2018
I hope that you all had a fantastic Christmas and New Year, and received lots of sewing related presents! I am so pleased to be a part of this new group for UKQU, but having…

I love this, great choice for a 1st blog post. x

Hi Sarah,
Thank you for the compliment on my choice of themes for my first blog. Will you be giving this a try?
Do let me know,
Regards, Jo x-
I will be giving this a go, when time allows. x

Helpful blog, I’ve bought a boring desk diary this year, now off to cover it! Thank you 🙂
-
Hi Heather
I am really glad that you have found the blog useful. As I said to Judith in my reply to her, I would suggest for your first attempt that you buy a cheap diary. Don’t use your best fabric – use a cheap one first of all. Try following the instructions that I have given (if you can!!!) and if need be, watch a tutorial on YouTube for a bit of back up help.
I would really love to see your finished results Heather if you can post it onto the blog….but be warned, once you start covering books it becomes very addictive!
Regards, Jo x

Fantastic and really informative post, can’t wait for your next one x
-
Hi Gini,
Thank you for such positive feedback. I am plased you liked the blog and found it informative enough. It’s certainly daunting being a new to this blogging lark!
after reading your review I know where to come if I need help!
Regards, Jo x

-
Brilliant, not something I would have done in the past but you have had this task so simple, I should have a go.
-
Hi Judith
So glad that you liked the blog, and is now something you are willing to give a go. I would suggest for your first attempt that you buy a cheap diary (the ones from the shops where that you pay literally 99p or £1 for. Don’t use your best fabric – use a cheap one first of all. Try following the instructions that I have given (if you can!!!) and if need be, watch a tutorial on YouTube for a bit of back up help.
Let me know how you get on Judith,
Regards Jo x

Lovely little blog Jo, I make lots of book covers and really enjoy making them. I love Tilda fabric as well and have made some of her items – my favourite is a seabird who has very long legs and lives in my bathroom. Looking forward to next months blog x
-
Thank you for your kind words Sue……I am a Tilda freak. There are Tilda makes all around the flat!
