Creating a colourful handmade world one fabric at a time. Quilts-crafts- fabric shop
I deliberated on the background colours. I’ve gone for more is more this time with yet more colour in the background, keeping this very scrappy in feel. Next time, I’ll try a low volume background which will tone down the colours.

My scrappy blocks are multiplying! Lots more ‘roses’ today. I’m enjoying these saturated reds and oranges.

An update of my scrappy roses. I love how scraps bring colour to a project! Loads more to do but the quilt is gaining momentum.

My summer of scrap busting has started! I’m making little scrappy abstract roses in all my brights. Let’s see how many I can make this week!

Play halted as I ran out of papers. So I’ll be cutting more tonight. Still playing with the stripes and seeing where it takes me.

This project may well be my ode to stripes. I’m still not sure on layout. And that’s ok for right now. I’m enjoying the play. I’m making more mini striped flowers to use as spacers, which seem to be working well. Fabrics by Billy Reue.

I have two quilts to bind, but this English paper piecing project is demanding my attention. I even dreamed about it last night 😂.

I’ve had some lovely evenings hand sewing my hexies. It’s slowing evolving and finding its design as I go. These are Billy Reue fabrics and I’m thoroughly enjoying their striking patterns.

My heart cushion is nearly complete. Paired with pale blue Pom Poms and backing twill. I’ve quilted using Aurifil 28wt thread to add some texture.

My favourite candy boxes are here! Brand new Kaffe X Morris collection. In case you haven’t heard yet, I make fat eighths boxes of my favourite collections. It’s my very own sweet selection . If you want all of this collection, fat eighths is a great way to have it all.

It’s a sew mindful kind of day. I’m regrouping from the troubling news events. The sun has come out so I’m taking it as a sign to sit in its warmth and quieten the mind. I’m big stitch quilting this Love Heart quilt kit. It seems the perfect quilt for right now.

I’m still working on this project behind the scenes. I’ve not settled on a spacer colour yet, so I’m taking a little pause with this one to let it stew a little.
