I adore this. I still have quite an extensive collection of French and German Redwork samplers but this is exquisite. I used to design and teach Blackwork embroidery which are also known as Holbein embroidery with the back looking exactly the same as the front.

I have long been an admirer of your work. Determined to make myself a quilted coat, it won’t be in your league, but I will have some fun!

I know, but I certainly didn’t expect a Flowers from Molly “Box Of Joy” … total lovely surprise. I just do what I can to keep me busy in these often dark days, and if it gives a lift to someone else that is all the thanks you need xxx

Thank you Ami! It just shows you what can be done working as a motivated team in a local community with other “people who sew” and using somewhat bonkers fabric makes the sewing process more enjoyable. We got the donation figures for the Poppy themed Masks which were at the 4 local mask trees. £1129.11 was raised from our face coverings whic…[Read more]

Thanks Maggie, we are a fairly small town with about 6000 inhabitants, but still very community minded, and somehow we all know someone else that can contribute to a joint effort.

Thanks Christine. It was a bit of an experiment both in terms of using the “Twisted Pinwheel” acrylic template, and making the duvet cover, just relieved it worked!

Brilliant that Carol was able to show the finished quilt to Carl from Panicos, it was lovely. I have Already read her Blog. Love your purchases.
