It’s recycling week here at UKQU. And that has forced me to finally do a project that has been in my head for a couple of years. I knew one day I’d make it, i just hadn’t got around to it.

Well done Chris for making a lovely quilt for such a worthy cause. I love Miffy, it works for all age groups too
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).
Thank you, got to use every last drop of fabric 🙂
I used to love Miffy. I think I still have a colouring book for inspiration lol

I’ve not seen this method before. I’ve seen where you turn the edge over the paper, and then struggle to release the paper after sewing the applique down. I shall be giving this method a try. Thanks

Now maybe you have lots of small scraps but have no idea what to do with them, or maybe you’re new to quilting and you bought scraps. When I first decided I’d like to quilt, I was drawn to Jelly Rolls, it was all…
But scrap bags just beg you to do something different! I am in the middle of a birch tree quilt made with 3 scrap bags-tiny edges and selvedges cut off jelly rolly and charm packs. Very very cheap but lots of fun.

Lovely. I think I will go VIP next time as I struggle to find somewhere to relax. and by the end of the day with heavy bags it gets harder. I too loved Jenni Dutton’s work, it was so moving and to think it was done by hand on netting.
