Jane Galley wrote a new post, Have you ever tried the 'Under Thimble'? 8 years, 3 months ago
One of the thrills of being asked to review a product is that you’re never quite sure what will be coming in the post. The last thought that went through my mind was that I hoped it wasn’t a thimble!
Now, don…

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).

Cushion and Quilt from Recycled Shirts
One of the questions I was asked recently was whether patchwork and quilting was expensive. As with everything we do, it’s up to us. It can be very expensive but, on th…

Thanks for the article Jane, I love your shirt cushion and quilt, I have a few shirts in my stash and this may help me find my lost sewing mojo.
My first ever quilt was a rag quilt made with used denim jeans on the front and sweatshirts on the back using QAYG squares no wadding needed. My 6th quilt was made using the leftover strips from the same Jeans, and my leftover scraps of wadding sewn together, and backing was a piece of recycled flannel sheet.
Both are well loved by recipients.With so much waste in the world we should all endeavour to return to reusing and make a few recycled fabric quilts.

Karen, that’s lovely. I did a denim throw for one of my boys, it was made from all the jeans they’d finally grown out of or were too worn to wear. It took years to collect all the pieces and they moaned every time I pinched a pair of jeans, but it is well loved and used by them and all their friends. If you get your sewing mojo back, please do share your photos

Rotary cutters are a very versatile piece of equipment and suit both left and right handed people. My son is left handed and I know in some circumstances, you can adapt to doing things the right handed way. S…

I’ve never thought about using an under thimble, but I might give it a try now after this review. Thanks for sharing your thoughts about it.

You’re welcome, I’d never heard of them before I did this. I do like it
