Have you had enough of flowers for one quilt, or would you just like some ideas to break up the design a bit? I’ve had a look online and found quite a few different free* patterns which may go well with the Garden F…

I had originally meant this blog to be about the Mystery Quilt BOM that I’m running for UKQU members, but I’m now thinking that might be next week’s topic as this one has become rather much longer than I had…

I love watching your ‘Whitter’s“, it has helped keep me seine through lockdown, although I lost my need to sew, but slowly getting back to it.

Glad it helped Mo! The mojo will come back soon enough! x

I’m not one to shy away from a challenge, and so I jumped at the chance to be part of the UKQU blog hop – especially when the theme was flowers. I instantly knew what flowers I would choose – tulip…

The pixel poppy block looks fab Kerry. I love the ‘tips’ – learnt something new too about nesting seams. Definitely going to try that.

Great block interesting way to do it thank you
-
There’s a similar block coming up in a while, but then I’m using foundation paper piecing and there’s a template!
-
Thankyou will look

The best improv “how to” I have ever seen.
-
Thanks Maggie! It’s always hard to describe something that isn’t really a pattern / instructions as such.

-
You’ve got me wanting to have a go. I love the idea of improv, but have never given it a go. The block looks fab!

One of the questions I see often on various Facebook posts and pages is ‘How do you store your fabric?’. Then there are the posts that show how people have stored their fabric – you know the ones – those pictures app…
-
An organiser like me! Though I am very envious of your cupboard. It is very tidy!
-
Thank you Maggie – I am an organiser, but not when it comes to my scraps! And the cupboard looks tidy because I was searching for the missing block I mention in the blog and tidied it up; I found the block, but not in the cupboard at all!! The rest of my sewing room is not so tidy – but that is due to the amount of stuff in here. The sewing cupboard was certainly a worthwhile purchase 12 years ago.

-
I also use storage boxes for my fabric, separated into rough colour families. We deliberately bought a metal framed bed so that I could store the boxes underneath – keeps them out of the light to avoid fading
-
A good idea for keeping the boxes out of the light. I have quite a few of my boxes under my quilting frame.
