So I’m now caught up to July (what was I doing?!) and here is Pencil Pusher! This lone star quilt and also an article on the aggregation of marginal gains was published in Make Modern magazine, issue 30. I think sometimes I make a quilt, have to keep it...
Oh wow, so it turns out I have four unblogged quilts for 2019, so I guess I’ll post about them in quick succession! Coming up soon – Pencil Pusher, Helsinki Square Dance 2 and High Flying Birds! This though is Frost, made in April 2019, lets see what I...
A lot has been knitted since June and my first class! I frogged the seed stitch scarf in the end, but I have got a back and a front panel done of a five panel cardigan. It’s a bit boring though so I have been working on a few...
Hello, I’m still here! What a few weeks it has been – I’ve been busy at work, I’ve been doing a night class, I’ve had some issues with illness and palpitations and I’ve been making stock for a show I’m about to tell you about! So this website and...

Happy international dog day! I realised that I needed to increase the number of pet quilts I’ve made for the purpose of attracting future commissions, and so what better breed than one of the world’s most popular dogs, the Labrador Retriever? And then as I built it the way...
So since my last post I’ve actually made two quilts, neither of which I think I can show for months and months yet. Isn’t that always the way! Between lots of this and that, I’ve been persevering with the dressmaking. The first project is my Shelby Romper (top and...
I haven’t named this quilt (I have a great name for one of my next quilts, don’t you worry), but I can tell you a bit about it. I work with a lady, who left on maternity leave at the end of last week. Her leaving date was brought...
Whilst dressmaking and I are still in a love/hate relationship, I do have some finishes, mostly because knits are usually good to me and are easy to fit. A couple of weeks ago I made a Tabor Tee from Sew House Seven that I can actually wear. I’m not...
