I know exactly what you mean about lifting your heart; a lovely pattern.

Your examples are fabulous. I imagined when writing a pattern that producing the final piece was the greatest challenge, but you have completed lots of lovely pieces here.

I love it. The rose is so detailed.

I missed this when it came out, as I was in similar circumstances. But this is the loveliest tribute there could be. A wonderful quilt: a wonderful mum.

It really works too Sue. Bright, cheerful , useful and stress-beating! I often sew scraps when I am stuck for ideas.

The best improv “how to” I have ever seen.

Really original, and full of possibility. Lupins are a weed in New Zealand: I wish our weeds were as colourful!

It is a cheery block for these grey days.

That’s very creative. Hard to believe you are new to quilting! Pretty and clever!

Super to see how to do that fiddly applique. So often the advice is very skimpy. I had never thought of a cocktail stick!

What a lovely blog. It gets to the heart of our fabric obsession: not so much sewing, as remembering.

That’s a very enticing explanation. I might even chop up a few of my ( oh, but I might need a strange-shaped piece) scraps ready!

Your scrap makes are super. I think you are joining the scrap addicts!

Thankyou!

An organiser like me! Though I am very envious of your cupboard. It is very tidy!

That is really pretty!

What a lovely personal gift.

This is mesmerising and lovely to watch. Such a beautiful filler.
