Who doesn’t love a scrappy project? Not just the look of them but also the fact you’re squeezing a little bit more life out of your much loved fabrics. (found here) (Downside: it encourages scrap hoarding. Big time.) This technique can be used with scraps of almost any size – these fabric tiles are one …
Don’t get those petticoats in a twist, I’m not making a political statement – just a declaration of fabric adoration. The liberty I’m talking about here is the gorgeous fabric of Liberty of London. If you’ve spent any time looking around the craft blogosphere, you’ll know that some ladies would indeed die (and maybe kill?) …
The Olympics made me do it. The Olympics and Blandina. You see, Blandina gave me a beauty of a charm square pack she’d had in her stash for many years (she bought it when she was three ;). Laura Ashley, no less. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to make with it until I saw …
Here’s a small finish – a table runner from HSTs. Honestly, I’m not too sure about this one. I love the hand quilting details but I don’t think I’ve used the right colour for the binding. I was trying to avoid using orange and being too match-matchy, but now I think that Metro Living print …

I ordered a bundle of fabric in the Challenge colours and drew a small Modern Chevron Baby Quilt pattern that incorporated them all. To fit the pattern into the block sizing guidelines I needed 1 inch …

Chevrons are everywhere at the moment and I love ’em. I know I’ll want to make this chevron quilt pattern again so I’m documenting it for my forgetful future-self and anyone else who might be interested. Maybe you’d also like to fire up your sewing machine and make a version – this finished quilt project …
Guess what I finally finished? My super colourful cathedral windows quilt! These cathedral windows came away to the snow with us this year (where I finished it). They came away with us to the snow last year. This bloody thing came away with me to my sister’s house when she used to live in the …
About a year ago I bought a fat quarter set of Anna Maria Horner’s Innocent Crush. The Charmed palette became this quilt: The scraps from both palettes became this: But not before I scratched my head for a while about the Swept Away palette: Eventually an article on Design*Sponge caught my eye. Photos used with …
Sometimes I get so focussed on what I need to get finished that I forget to enjoy myself along the way. I made this little scrap fabric project to remind me to take a chill pill and be present. To me the journey is not just about achieving dreams or goals, but also about those …
