Christine Hutchins wrote a new post, A Little Bit Controversial…perhapsThe Bloggerati Song Challenge 6 years, 5 months ago
I really liked the song title I was given all those months ago, when I thought the challenge and idea was something I could get my teeth into. After all, I knew I had the perfect fabric somewhere in my stash. As soon…

Nina wrote a new post, Stash busting idea – reversible odds & sods bag 6 years, 6 months ago
Have you got too many fat quarters gathering dust? Two of them can rather quickly be turned into a really useful little bag.
For newborns, the bag is perfect for a few nappies, wet wipes, bottle, muslin,…

I’m so very excited!! Its almost like giving birth (I can’t be sure though as I have no actual children!) seems to me it must be similar…. many months, in fact years now, in the design, the making, the writing, t…

Nina wrote a new post, My song title challenge 6 years, 6 months ago
When putting my hand up to be given a song title to interpret by making something quilty, I wasn’t at all sure I’d get a song title that I actually recognised; as I had never heard of some of the ones allocated ear…
-
I didn’t get it-too busy to keep up when Prince was in his heyday-but I love it! What a super quilt! So clever, too.
-
I didn’t guess it until the end! Great quilt Nina and great interpretation!!
-
Fantastic Nina! I love it – especially the face, and the clues. I think I got it from clue 2 – that was when I started thinking of songs that I knew with those words!
-
Very clever, but had no clue, still don’t. I have heard of him though.
-
I didn’t get it, I could on think of “send all your kisses to me”. I’m not good with lyrics or Prince . It’s beautifully executed
-
That is a lovely Blog Nina. Such a good interpretation, lots more kisses to you. Xxx
-
Loving how you have made this quilt, bet you were singing the song as you stitched along!

Mwah Kiss!!!!

Denise Inkson wrote a new post, The Cheap Procrastinator – Cannot Math 6 years, 6 months ago
Not everyone is good at math, myself included. Today I find myself working on a project. It is to be a group quilt and hopefully will be displayed under the group’s category of the 2020 Festival of Quilts s…
-
I love this, I find it hard to work out the maths, I like to grow it organically and usually end up laying out the blocks to see how they fit. Great idea to use masking tape and have blocks sized templates made up
-
I am glad it has given you inspiration. I often rely on the visual to help with things.

I love that you used sweet wrappers, all very exciting using different ‘fabrics’. Brilliant interpretation
6 years, 5 months ago
Thank you Jane! It takes a bit of a ‘leap of faith’ to use sweet wrappers in something that you are going to sew. I was concerned that the sewing may rip the papers, but sometimes you just have to go for it!
6 years, 5 months ago
Great interpretation and execution!!! Amazing how quickly volunteers appear when sweets are involved!
PS. No wonder I called you Teresa when you even mimic her blog titles LOL.
6 years, 5 months ago
Thank you Nina! Yes, Teresa was in my mind when I thought about the title – I couldn’t think of anything better as a title!
6 years, 5 months ago
Well my first guess was Sweets for my Sweet, but I soon realised that was wrong. What an incredible piece this is!
6 years, 5 months ago
Thank you Maggie! Some members of my quilt group thought Sweets for my Sweet as well.
6 years, 5 months ago
Totally amazing, so much creativity!
6 years, 5 months ago
Thank you Teresa – your blog titles inspired my blog title – I couldn’t think of a better title, as I realised that several parts of my quilt could / would be controversial. When I include religion / religious symbols in my quilting, I am aware that it could cause offence somewhere…this quilt almost sort of did that at our quilting group, where one of our members hates the song with a vengeance (mind you, we also tease her about parsnips, mashed carrot and swede – she can’t stand swede, junket…amongst other things – it makes our group Christmas dinners quite entertaining! She does tease me about my stash…)

I thought Sweets for My Sweet too, but love this
6 years, 5 months ago
Thank you Candy – it was fun making it, if a little nerve wracking, wondering how it would go down with others…I have just about got to the stage where as long as I like it, it is fine. I also get to thinking that it is a process, that whatever happens, however it turns out, it is something that was just waiting to come out, and has something to say – that it is another step on the journey.
