I am making the hearts for a friend who is Sister working in the neonatal unit in Sheffield. She says it really helps the bond between baby and mother especially when baby is too poorly to be held at all.

I have donated so many of these, some made by me and other sent to me, to Scunthorpe Hospital. They are so quick to make too.

Of course I don’t mine you advertising my free Developmental Hearts pattern, Sylvia! I put this pattern in the shop because I have had such a buzz helping with some of the projects you talk about, and because I heard someone say they thought squares might be easier than hearts (they aren’t – so please do download the pattern and give the hearts a go).

Heartwarming read. Thank you.

Today I took Sarah, a non-quilter (yes I confess she was) along to the new Grosvenor Show in Newark to see what this brand new Exhibition had to offer.
We had thought about whether it was worth a day out of…

Great review Sylvia – wish I could have gone. Did Sarah enjoy herself?!!

Thanks Abigail. Yes, I think she did. She could not believe how many people were there and how fabulous the quilts were. I am thinking of taking her along to see Harrogate next month as well. We will turn her to the quilty side before much longer.

Thanks for visiting and commenting Carol. I am very happy that I wrote all this down because until it becomes second nature to me it is great to be able to refer to it – rather than having to figure it out every time!

Hi, I am very new to all this … well, yes I am! In terms of FMQ. I am attending a workshop in March to start my own journey, so, my question to you all is what would you recommend I could be doing to prepare, bearing in mind my current experience is a couple of failed attempts and a screwed up mess in the corner of the sewing room where it…[Read more]

Doodle, when ever you can. FMQ is a lot to do with muscle memory which then gives you one less thing to think about. If you see a design you like, trace it out over and over again.
