Counting Sheep and Merryn – two new cot quilts from Valerie
I was a lucky girl to receive promo 10 inch squares of these two fabric ranges from Makower Fabrics; while the size of the squares were the same the number of them varied betyween the two designs, but I was still able to produce two delightful little quilts (for my Momentum charity) with a quick and easy slash quilt idea.

Cathedral Windows
Susan dropped us a line recently with pictures of her latest project. It is cathedral windows using her husband's old trousers, her 'no longer fit' jeans, Suffolk puffs and lots of fabric left overs. A really great recycling quilt - we're sure you'll agree. If you fancy trying your hand at cathedral windows, check out Joanna Smith-Ryland's workshop, where she shares with us how to make a lovely folded patchwork cushion with her favourite fabrics - which are silk.
