We all know that we can’t always put pictures of cats and dogs on, or even near, finished quilts or goodness gracious sleeping on sewing machines, quilt sandwiches, disrupting cut out bits on the floor, because the p…

That is just Bonkers and Beautiful! What an inspired creation! I adore Chucky’s eyes, beak & comb!

Hope your husband is now on the mend. Your list of projects achieved already is quite impressive. Lyn Butler’s patterns are great, and can’t wait to see the disappearing 16 patch!

What fun fabric and such an innovative use for them! Visiting relatives in Hannover in May, might need to make them a London based present as a memory of a great visit to London last year.

The addition of the plain grey material was a masterstroke, really brings focus to the main fabrics.

I agree Ami, I have made double quilts & baby mats for family, including my parents, step daughters and grand-children. I have also made for my personal friends having children or new grandchildren as a totally surprise gift. As a purely surprise gift I was then under no pressure, as there was no expectation & if I chose to spend my money & my…[Read more]

Fantastic creativity to eke out every last lovely inch of these charming fabrics, such a wonderful thing you have done by making it for the Quilts for Care Leavers project (Q4CL).

Another class tutorial Helen. I love the way you gently describe things too, as if you were sitting beside us.

Lovely article! I really resonate with this, especially sewing fake fur. I had a neighbour turn up a couple of weeks ago with her great niece Miranda, who is 7, who had to do something for school for Australia Day. Luckily she had a grey velour velvet pyjamas/tracksuit to start with, and a hairband. 2 hrs later she was a cute koala bear complete…[Read more]

I remember you posting about this baby delivery when it happened. Didn’t know about the full time job or where the first quilt ended up. Always enjoy your posts and blogs. You have the story telling gene. More please.

That’s great. Although not a quilt my daughter had seen a mini plush (a large BMW logo made one) and she wanted to win it. It was labelled I think prize seven or eight in the raffle. We were at a mini (as in cars) event and at that time that’s all she talked about (Aspergers). Well. The raffle was drawn, we won first prize (a very large hamper, it was lovely). One look at Kira knew I had to ask to swap that prize for the mini. The guy behind the stall said he could not but another guy who had been manning the stall all day had said Kira had kept going back to it, just like the lady. And said as we were giving up the first prize for a lower prize there was no problem. One happy little girl. We then went one to win a later price. A meal for a family of four at a pub. A good day round. Don’t you just love fate.

Denise, the right things happen to the right people for all the right reasons. Sadly this is not all the time, but when it does it’s magic! I was actually quite prepared to make her an identical one & post it later, if she hadn’t won, because she was so lovely and appreciated the work that had gone into it.

That’s lovely when people see and understand the real value in it.
