Wow over 450 giveaway entries? Wow. Thanks to all of you, and special thanks if you’re one of the people who are still here but I’ve not emailed to say thanks because I kind of lost track. Right then. This weekend I made the flying geese border on Nan’s quilt top for the borders bee. [...]
I’ve finished the third column on Wallander now… I’ve also discovered that the brown used in one of these columns should have been the terracotta so I may have to mix things up as I start to run out of fabric! I’m probably not going to update here every time I’ve done a column, so [...]
Firstly, I should tell you that I’m now going to be commenting on people’s blogs with Blogger. I’m a bit tired of people (not one specific person but I can think of at least 4) telling me I’m a “no reply” blogger, when I’m not, I just have an independently hosted blog and as such [...]
Just showing you what I’ve been working on the last two mornings before work. I added the wide feathers row on the top for Thea in the Free Two Bee so this is going to Brittany next. Just one more top to add on to and I have finished my duties, my row swap is [...]
Well I got most of my targets done this weekend, however no more progress on Wallander just yet this week. I did half a Forest QAL block as I couldn’t find the magazine with the Marcelle Medallion pattern in. Then I found it so that’s been pushed to one side slightly for now. So this [...]
Firstly, my OH has solved the wonky Wallander block problem. It seems to be that if I number the pieces differently and put all the corners on at the end it lines up beautifully, look: However I am still needing to paper piece 100 of these in total which is harder than I thought. I’ve [...]

I think I’m missing something- possibly quite obvious- here and I need your help if you can! You know how I’ve been battling with half rectangle triangles? Well I reattempted them again, prepared to trim them down and make them bigger from the start. This is how my first Wallander block (of 100 I might [...]
I had a great time this weekend. I got some charm packs and mini charms in the ranges I’m coveting but can’t afford to buy “properly”… I didn’t spend so long sewing that I burned out which meant I got to watch films and generally potter around, (dying my greys and whatnot) but I did [...]
Over the last few years I’ve tried a few crafts, enjoyed them and then they inevitably end up as an Etsy shop which then means making more than one of anything and getting stressy busy at holiday times throughout the year and burdened with obligations. This happened with my jewellery and my chocolates and I chose to stop [...]
I’ve been quilting the Stephen Fry quilt! OK so I started it after 9pm as I had about half an hour of handstitching the odd binding slip and also the gap where I turned it out so there’s only about an hour’s work here but it’s coming together quite quickly. This is the first time I’ve done [...]
