Pinwheel Quilt in Tilda Fabric

Rather shockingly I started planning this quilt in May 2013….yes, FOUR YEARS AGO!!!  It had been intended as a wedding gift for somebody but I started to have doubts about whether or not they’d like it, and then for whatever reason it got put away.  Fast forward to last year when I dug it out…

I’m often asked in the shop if I stock panels for baby quilts but I’ve found it difficult to source contemporary panels and often suggest to people to try a whole cloth quilt using a fabric they really love.  So when I saw the Baby Jungle range by Makower I new that I had to…

Following on from my Bearly Brown Sum It Up Quilt I shared a while back, I’ve drafted a high-level tutorial for my Sum It Up Quilt if you would like to make one yourself.  This is a great beginner’s quilt as it comes together reasonably quickly, and there aren’t a lot of fiddly points to…

Bearly Brown Sum It Up Quilt

So this quilt was never actually planned. It came about as a result of a failed attempt at making Bear Paw blocks from a tutorial I found online. After cutting out all the fabric I found that they were proposing a really tedious method that would involve a lot of trimming and wasteage. So all…

Our first Beginners Patchwork & Quilting Workshop ended at the beginning of the month.  It was a 6-week evening class aimed as a complete introduction to patchwork and quilting for those who had never tried it before.  I decided on the Wonky Log Cabin design as it is fairly quick to sew up and doesn’t…
