"The key is not to prioritise what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities"

First day off since the kid's have gone back to school and college so of course the top priority was NOT cleaning, but quilting, my new go to therapy 🧵🪡🧘‍♀️
It's brilliant how the mind settles when your engrossed in something and with the new Christmas Tilda's released I had to have a play!
This pattern is one from the Tilda's 'Sew by Heart' book and I adapted the colour's with the new 'Merry Little Christmas' collection for the festive feel. If you go over to their website 9www.tildasworld.com) there are lot's of free patterns, each with their own difficulty rating- perfect for both beginners (like me) and those more skilled (I'm working on it!)

Don't forget we have a massive collection of Tilda fabrics, not only the new collection, but also the 'hard to find' ones. Available both in store and online at www.friarystitch.com

Beautiful

This handwoven shawl is crafted on my rigid heddle loom with King Cole’s Acorn Aran yarn in the stunning “Juniper” shade — a find in my local yarn shop Friary Stitch . At 2 metres long, it’s perfect for draping, wrapping, or snuggling into on chilly days.
