Bubble and Squeak

Hi and Welcome....So happy to share my new pattern...."Bubble and Squeak" with you.
It has such a warm and fuzzy feel to it....I just love how scrap quilts make me feel.
A great quilt for quilters of all levels using your fabric stash only...and of course the more diverse your scraps the better they look.
The border and binding fabric is the beautiful Eliza's Indigo fabric by Betsy Chutchian for Moda (you will need 80cm) and the blue fabric for the tiny squares is Alice's Scrapbag by Barbara Brackman for Moda (30cm)....both of which I still have some left.

The finished quilt measures 44" x 52" but of course you can make it bigger if you wish.
The pattern instructions have lots of colour images for you and comes complete with Mylar templates so there is no need to fuss around cutting your own....to purchase your copy Click Here.

Thanks for stopping by

The Chatsworth Quilt...Finished and Available Now

Finally the last stitch was placed into the appliqué and Hooray its all finished....the top that is!

I have loved making this quilt....making a promise to myself to use fabrics that I was saving for a rainy day and not touching the draw of scraps for any of it.....well that didn't quite happen as I did delve into that draw for some of the snowball blocks.

Lots of berries and tulips in this pretty quilt and I just love that vine fabric....I sometimes think it looks like a zipper!...the blue border is also rather a departure for me as I find it hard to work with strong blues....but they are calling to me with some of the lovely indigo fabrics I have here at the moment.

Its really hard to get a great image with such a large quilt (as I am not a professional) so take a look at the other posts about this quilt both on this BLOG and my other BLOG for lots of other images.

Now its onto the pinning and then thread basting of all 3 layers before I can start the hand quilting.....Oh and did I say that the pattern is now available?...full and comprehensive instructions along with full pattern sheets and stencils (no photocopying for you) and lots of colour images and diagrams inside.....Click Here to get your copy now.

Welcome to 2016.

Hoping that you all enjoyed a break over Christmas and New Year...

I know I am still enjoying the quietness for another week or so.

Lets hope that we all have a safe and happy year.

New projects are coming along well, although not quite as fast as I would have liked!

I am hand quilting one of the new projects...."Bubble and Squeak"....

remember all of those little scrappy circles I was making back in September?...

Well here it is.

Don't pay attention to the funny green fabric on the edges of the quilt....that is the backing wrapped to the front to prevent the fraying of the indigo printed border, so that it wont fray as I quilt.

I am also onto the final appliqué border for "The Chatsworth" Quilt....after this it will be the final machined pieced flying geese border and then.....more hand quilting!

Patterns for the above quilts will be available in February and I will let you know when and how much.

I have also been very busy up loading images of new fabrics that will be arriving throughout the first half of this year (there is more yet to be loaded) and you can view these at....."Coming Soon"...on the website.

Another lovely range from Di Ford can be seen here too...."Giggleswick Mill"

Looking for new fabric that has just arrived, then check out all the new fabrics at 

"Just Arrived" .

I will be home all of February so have changed the trading hours just for this month.

There will also be classes for "Bubble and Squeak", "The Chatsworth Quilt" and "Hand Quilting".

Times, Dates and Details will be released tomorrow.

Merry Christmas

Its that crazy time of the year again!

I would like to thank everyone for their kind words and support over the last 12 months.

2015 has been a very busy year both on a personal and business level and I have  a strange feeling that 2016 is working up to be the same.

Would you like to know where I will be in 2016?

Then you can keep up to date both here, Facebook and on the website.

Crazy Season Trading Hours

I will be closed from this Friday 11th December and will reopen January 19th 2016

Shopping online 24/7 as usual.

Hopefully I will be doing some workshops from home in February so will get a list up as soon as I can.

Have a safe and Happy Christmas and New Year.

I  have always had an interest in photography, in particular close ups of flowers.

Recently I did a one day workshop with a photographer friend of ours....Garry Brown of 

G3 Photographics...you can also find him over on
FB.....

I had a wonderful time at the Reptile Park taking photos of snakes, chameleons, crocodiles and Tazzie Devils.....and so a new hobby waits to be discovered.....I have to find extra time first though.

"The Chatsworth" Quilt is coming along with more borders added.....snowball border, blue border and the next flying geese border are all now in place just waiting for...

 the next applique border ....I think I have an idea!

Have you started collecting your fabrics yet?
