Out & About

Magna Carta Quilt AssociationTakes us to the Magna Carta Quilt Association meeting where they tell us about the fantastic quilts they are making which will be on display later in the year at the Royal Holloway University in Egham later in June. In the meantime the girls are busy stitching!

Passionate about English Paper Piecing

Nancy Adamek English Paper PiecingNot a question, but a statement by Nancy Adamek, from Lina Patchwork about herself;  so much so that she has set up her own company in Kent batching up papers for other addicts like herself.   Today we get a flavour of her work – and keep watching as we have workshops in the pipeline.

Scrappy Workshop with Valerie

Scrappy SelvedgesValerie is creating an easy block from her selvedge scraps, but she shows you how you could recreate this from your strips and strings and then has a really clever idea for the border (and a reminder that the selvedges can help with colour!)
