  • Oops I did it again

    “What happened to the projects I was quilting?” I hear you ask… I am currently unpicking the quilting in the tumblers quilt as messed up a bit in the preparation (more haste, less speed is sage advice still)… And my monkey wrench quilts are stalled currently too while I work out techniques to quilt them…

  • Two thirds of my life

    September has been Hell Month since my dad died two thirds of my life ago. Since then September has become a car crash of sad anniversaries and I usually end up spiralling into a grief funk. This year I’ve called it Sewvember and the photo collage below shows what I’ve achieved so far this month.…
