Got any plans for the year ?
How about a free BOM (Block of the Month) to mark the months off?
Since starting the UK Quilters United group on Facebook, one of the things I’ve enjoyed is starting to design q…

That looks brilliant Juliet. I shall try to keep up
-
That is a really lovely design. I can see lots of people seeing lots of possibilities for it…anniversaries, birthdays, weddings, memories!

I love these Juliet, will try and have a go soon

Thank you Juliet. Another challenge to complete

Helen Kent wrote a new post, Enola Gay – OMD 6 years, 5 months ago
When issued the challenge to use a song title as inspiration for a quilt I thought that it sounded an interesting idea. I’d not done one before so popped my name into the mix. Then Sylvia gave me the t…

A difficult but well interpreted challenge!
-
Really interesting. Sad to say I have never heard this song until now! Some good ideas for interpreting it on fabric Helen.

How many of these can you relate to .. go on, be honest!
The low bobbin warning beep (I think the record I have heard is 60 inches of no-thread seam)

Twas the night before Christmas, and, oh, I was weary.
My stitching unfinished, my eyes getting bleary.
The stockings weren’t finished, the chimney was bare.
And I knew that morning s…

A gentle start for you today as we begin with the humble square. It may be the simplest of blocks, but the humble square can be very versatile, using different colour combinations to create complex patterns…

Even the most tentative quilter could start with this one! Lovely.

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…
-
I love that you used sweet wrappers, all very exciting using different ‘fabrics’. Brilliant interpretation
-
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!
-
-
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.-
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!
-
-
Well my first guess was Sweets for my Sweet, but I soon realised that was wrong. What an incredible piece this is!
-
Thank you Maggie! Some members of my quilt group thought Sweets for my Sweet as well.
-
-
Totally amazing, so much creativity!
-
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…)

You have not seen my Merry Sproutmass …..coming soon 30th Dec to a blog page near you!

-
I thought Sweets for My Sweet too, but love this
-
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.
