Here is the finished (top!) for the charity quilt Valerie was making with the Lewis & Irene Bumblerries fabrics - note the design change for the borders!     Want to make one yourself - click here for the video and the free workshop notes.

  Thanks for the inspiration.
This was almost as quick to piece as simple 5 inch squares but more visually interesting outcome.

Kind regards,

Here are two quilts and the original table runner that got Valerie inspired;           these were made using the paper template BUT since filming Valerie has found a template designed for use with the rotary cutter which is multi-sized - including for use with jelly rolls - so obviously there will be more!! want more info on  the template ?- click here

Carol, all the way on the otherside of the world in Perth, Australia, contacted us before Christmas as she was looking to get some trapunto wool and learn the craft. For her first attempt. she has made this lovely version of Sylvia Critcher's Christmas Rose Pin Cushion and she has used hers as a Christmas decoration rather that a pin cushion.

Thank you Pat for sharing this lovely quilt;     Pat managed to make this great  quilt design into a double quilt for her family - who were the lucky recipients from Santa!   want to make your own version (and it would look wonderful in other fabrics too!) - just click here. and you will notice that our version appears on the back wall when we were interviewing at the West Country Quilt & Textile Show - didn't it look great!

The justhands-on.tv community stretches far and wide and one member from France, Sandra, made these gorgeous cutwork pieces by following instructions from Kathleen Laurel Sage in one of her kits . She's very pleased with her results. One picture is of the kit she received, and the second one is made from  a photo that she found on Kathleen's site.

We do love it when we inspire you, especially when it's all for a good cause. One of our lovely members, Liz, wrote to us recently as she had enjoyed Jennie's video Changing Places and thought it would be ideal as a scrap quilt for Project Linus. For those of you not familiar with Project Linus, it's  a volunteer organisation. who provide new home made patchwork quilts and knitted/crocheted blankets to sick and traumatised children of all ages, and give volunteers across the UK the opportunity to contribute to their local community.

We do love it when a plan comes together - We've heard from one of our members, Beth. She's just completed this quilt for her grandson using Janet Clare's Nocturne fabrics which we had on the site a few months ago. She's called it 'Stars and Moons'. Her grandson is a Man City fan and was really delighted with this and the Blue  Moon, unbeknown to her, is their club song.

Our Throwback Thurday workshop had me looking through our picture archives too - and here are some of the ones you made earlier - thankyou so much.

Well a pink one and a blue one at any rate. These two lovely quilts were made with fabrics from The Cotton Craft Company - six fat 1/4's plus a mini-bolt of 1.5metres of extra wide which has been used in the border, there is enough for the backing and binding - so extremely economical!     Also some lovely new wadding to try- can't wait!

Look what I made while the snooker was on at the weekend! It really is quick to make! Delicious fabric from Lady Sew & Sew - Five Fat 1/4's plus 1m for the border - check out the quick workshop by clicking here (the workshop is free this month as a special treat from us!) And I just can't stop!!!!
