Our new (well one of them at least)….
Block of the Month for 2026…..

Carousels… This beautiful and intricate design was designed by the lovely France Aubert, who I had the delightful opportunity to meet last year at the European Patchwork Meeting in Alsace, France.

We have chosen fabrics from the lovely Tilda range Sanctuary…. We chose three prints in four colour ways and teamed the with the subtle Linen Texture by Makower, to make this stunning quilt.

If you are interested in making this quilt, please send me a DM and I will let you know the details.

If you are interested, please act as soon as possible, as the places are limited.

I have just fallen in love with silk (never fallen out love of silk, just never used in for my patchwork)

It works so beautifully for these tiny pieces!

As silk has a sheen to it the colours just shine.

Watch this space for more patchwork & silk ideas.

Dear Friends old and new,

We have reached September, it is now almost a year since I lost my beloved husband Colin.

It has been a very rocky rough, rollercoaster of a year, so I hope you will forgive me…. I am running away for 3 weeks!

I am going to France, the first week away I will be visiting the (Quilting World) famous “European Patchwork Meeting” in Alsace.

Then I shall be meeting up with friends and travel around France in search of some sunshine (& quilt shops)…

When I first met Colin, he asked me why I went to so many different Quilt shops? (You see he hated shopping, so when he went shopping, it was - in get what you want & out - done)

So I explained… Every Quilt Shop owner has a different view of fabrics & prints, so every shop is different. I love to see the ranges of fabric that are available.

Now to our website, I still have not been able to access it, so I am not able to change any information there, it is something I will ‘tackle’ over the winter.

Any orders received by mid day on Sunday (tomorrow) I will post on Monday morning.
Please feel free to continue to order through our website, I shall start sending them out the first week of October.

I shall be checking emails periodically, so any questions, please drop me an email. If it is an urgent question then do drop me a text message and I will do what I can to help.

Well I finish this post with - Wish me Bon Voyage… Suzi.x

Although I don’t usually post every day stuff - but I think I will post photos from the exhibition.x

Is it Christmas yet?

A few months ago at one of our weekly Wednesday coffee mornings, I was asked if I would like to have a stall at the Village Christmas Fair…. I said yes - when is it?

Perfectly reasonable question (I thought)
Well the ‘look’ that I got!

Suzi the clue is in the name ‘Christmas Fair’..!

So I pointed out, I do Christmas 11 months of the year, the only month I don’t do Christmas is December!

I am sure that there are many in our ‘crafting world’ that agree with me…. But I think I have almost had enough of Christmas already this year…

Christmas Puddings need to be made early….
Christmas Decorations need to be ‘made’ before December and all the little pressies that we make for Christmas need to be ready too…

Happy Christmas all!

Life has been a little stressful the last few weeks, so I decided to try a little patchwork….

I think the beads are too big and as they are the smallest I can get, I think I need to increase the size of the hexagon… these are 4mm

I am going to try 5mm next…
