This is a great idea! I had made book pillows for my girls when they were younger but love how you have adapted it to grown ups 🙂

Brilliant idea Ruth

Ok – you have done it. After reading this, I MUST get the quilting done on the quilt for my daughter made out of her late dad’s rugby shirts. (it was meant to be her birthday present a year ago, and a Christmas present before that…..) Hoping it can be a Christmas present this year. Thank you. xx

Good piece of advice! My hubby works in H&S and I do try and position myself ‘properly’ before sewing but it’s so easy to get hunched up, especially with FMQ. But I find it goes better if you ‘shake it out’ and relax!

Very good advise Ruth.

I totally agree with your comments Ruth, and one thing I would add is to have a drink. It only needs to be a glass of water, or G & T if that is what you would like. I frequently get so engrossed that I forget to have a drink – could go 3 or 4 hours….. It also makes you get up and walk around – so two plusses!!! x
