Brit Bee Pillow Swap

In March this year Brit Bee celebrated 10 years! I have loved being part of this amazingly talented group of ladies. We have done a lot of life together, losing one of our original members to cancer, weddings, divorces and lots of new babies!! While we no longer make and swap blocks each month, we […]

Brit Bee R4 Quilt Finish

Back in 2011 a group of 12 quilters from across the UK came together to form a quilting bee called 'Brit Bee'. Each year we would make quilts for each other, and in 2015 (Round 4) we decided to try something a little different. We each designed a 15" x 30" block and set about […]

Brit Bee Retreat 2017

Denim Pouches

Some much needed time off in December meant 'play time'! And for me, playtime usually involves denim!!     I love the many different tones that exist in this durable form.     I started my 'playtime' with a little denim EPP (English Paper Piecing) in front of the open fire on chilly December evenings.

Beauty and The Beast!

A few weeks back I was offered an industrial Singer Sewing machine!   She was originally a factory girl, retired long ago! I call her 'The Beast'! She weighs an absolute tonne (it took 3 men to carry her upstairs!) and sounds like a jumbo jet taking off (I hope the neighbours don't mind)! But […]

Marvellous March!

Despite the rather damp and dull day today, it's so lovely to officially start spring! February may have been a shorter month, but it was a busy one for me! Mostly sneak peeks here again I'm afraid, and one or two of these not made (but published) in February.  But I will tell you about […]
