I made this for a magazine but it didn’t get published so I thought you guys might want it instead… mine’s another addition to the mini quilt wall that hasn’t happened yet! This uses a special ruler from Creative Grids. A great video on how to use the ruler can be found on YouTube HERE. You [...]
I started the week ill and today I was off work. So whilst I was on the sofa watching a film, trying not to move too much because I felt so weak and my brain was doing funny things, I stitched the skinny binding onto my Rain Deer Limbo quilt. Ta da! You may remember [...]
Friday evening saw me finish up the Fryed Pixels quilt! It was washed and dried Saturday and apart from having to do a bit of hand stitching here and there to tidy it up and adding the sleeve on the back, it is what I call, finished. It looks better from a distance (not because [...]

A quick apology. All sorts have been going on over the last few days, whether it’s been skating classes or hockey games or visits from family members until gone 11pm at night… Which means I’m really not going to get the Fryed Pixels quilt top done for the Lovely Year of Finishes. I’m about 85% [...]

I thought I had conquered the half rectangle triangle but it has reared it’s ugly head once more! This looks OK doesn’t it, seam allowance wise? It’s not! Margaret on the Popular Patchwork forum was having trouble scaling up these rectangles from a pattern, which I thought was quite simple at first having followed this [...]

Firstly today I wanted to make sure I was part of the WIP Wednesday thingy as it’s been a few days since I showed my progress on my Great Granny quilt and there has been quite a lot of progress since then! It’s not finished in time for another Finish Along post but I still plan to [...]

…is not so much a resolution, more of a target for the year. On my birthday I received a wonderful letter from the taxman saying I owe them quite a large sum of money and on top of that I’m getting fined an additional 15% plus interest. So I’m possibly going to have to look [...]
