I have had a great day today. I was on a course held at the Design Museum which was good as a) I wasn’t in the office and b) the course started late and finished early which meant c) I got to look round two exhibitions which I don’t get too do any more. When…

More beautiful fabrics
When I got home from work today there was a lovely package waiting for me from my swap partner in the Scrap Swap, organised by Belinda and Kate. Ellen, with the help of her daughters, sent me some gorgeous fabrics which I’m going to use in my next doll quilt.
More lovely post for me
A lovely parcel full of goodies was waiting for me when I got home this evening. My swap partner picked so many lovely things specially for me – ric rac, fabric, cute vintage patterns. Some books from Amazon finally arrived too, yep you guessed it, Bend the Rules Sewing and Denyse Schmidt Quilts. Plenty to…
Doll quilt progress
I have finally chosen the pattern I am going to make for the doll quilt swap. After my previous disastrous attempt I knew I wasn’t capable of making one without a little bit of help. So I bought a copy of Little Quilts which everyone seems to recommend and have chosen a lovely quilt which…

Scrap swap
Here is a sneak preview of the fabrics that are currently winging their way across the atlantic to my swap partner, Ellen, at hurrayic. I have included a variety of old and new fabrics, and there’s a good selection of my favourite Cath Kidston fabrics. I hope she likes them all!
Another mini moopy
I couldn’t resist trying my hand at making another mini moopy this evening. My first attempt at the beginning of the year was ok but I wanted to see if I could make it on my vintage Singer sewing machine this time instead of hand stitching it all. I chose some lovely Liberty fabrics to…
My first doll quilt
It’s been a strange week since we’ve returned from our holiday. I’ve had to spend three days at home as we’ve had a garden makeover this week. So I’ve read more and crafted more. Today I made my first doll quilt and it was so much harder than I thought it would be! Don’t look…
