Scrappy Journal Cover

A good friend of mine had a birthday recently, and now that she has received her gift I can show you it here! My friend is a spiritual person who journals, so I made her a colourful A5 journal cover, using mostly Anna Maria Horner and Art Gallery scraps! I had seen this pretty cover […]

Basket Case!

I've been making a lot of baskets lately!   Some were for my next free tutorial (remember my Scrappy Hexie Basket?  Well I'll be releasing the pattern for this one as a free tutorial very soon).   And some were just an excuse to have fun with teeny pieces of fabric!     These baskets […]

Scrappy Scraps Basket!

It's been a while since I've posted here! Apologies!   Nothing to do with the current pandemic. I got creatively and mentally very tired after a busy first quarter, but I'm pleased to report that life is settling down for me (ironically, as Covid-19 causes chaos!) and I'm back at the sewing machine!   If […]

Patchwork in the Peaks 14: Part 2

I promised to check in again and tell you about my makes at Patchwork in the Peaks (though they pale into insignificance compared to the fabulous makes of my fellow sewers).   Not fully understanding the brief of the weekend, I arrived with no personal projects to work on! Doh!   However, Elita has a […]

Tissue Box Cover Tutorial

It's about time I posted another tutorial here, don't you think?     Before all the sniffles and colds get going, how about pretty, quilted tissue box covers.  I'd much rather see pretty fabric sitting in my room, than a functional cardboard box!     And this tutorial will explain how to cover a box […]

Rope Bowl Workshop 1

Hi there! Yesterday was my first of 2 Rope Bowl Workshops.     This was my first time teaching rope bowls and not having a previous experience to draw on, I didn't know how well the ladies would take to it, or how well their machines would behave!     But first time nerves quickly […]

Autumn Boho Quilt

Happy first of September!   I'm always a little conflicted when we enter a new season and a new term.  I love the colours and smells of Autumn, a feast for the senses, but I always grieve a little for the ending of another brief summer.   So continuing the Autumnal theme, I can show […]

This means we now have long awaited hot water, cooking facilities and a little heat on chilly evenings!  #livinglikekings   The quilt I'd like to […]

Mother's Day Pot Holder!

I realise Mother's Day is a while ago now, but I haven't told you about a wee make I made my mum!   I have made mum pot holders before, and was pleased to see them put to good use in her kitchen recently.   But continuous use means they get a little 'worse for […]
