Kittenopolis with Helen Butcher

This is a fun project (especially for cat lovers) with very modern looking cats – and they can all be a little different. This is a very easy improv block that Helen shares with us. The smaller quilt/cushion blocks are made from 5" squares. There is also a free pattern available to download. . Watch Now+

Scarecrow Quilt with Valerie Nesbitt

Today, Valerie shares with us a delightful, autumnal quilt made using Scarecrow inspired fabric from Lewis and Irene and designed by Sally Ablett . Originally designed using the Winter Garden range of fabrics, Valerie has recreated it with a more autumnal feel with these lovely fabrics, which should be in your shops now. The winter garden range is due to be in the shops soon and was inspired by a frosty morning in the countryside and features moths, seed heads and tiny flowers. Watch Now+

World War 1 tribute exhibitions

As this November is the 100th anniversary of the end of World War One it seemed fitting that we look back at two recent exhibitions. The Between the Lines exhibition was created by members of the East Anglian Stitch Textiles group reflecting on the events of World War 1. Each of the thirteen artists has explored the 1914/18 conflict and undertaken extensive research of their chosen theme. Watch Now+

This week we revisit Remembering WWI with the London Quilters. Members of London Quilters were invited to create a small piece of textile art to commemorate World War 1 – and the results are varied and moving. Linda Seward was our guide Watch Now+

Mini Quilts from Julia Gahagan

Julia Gahagan has designed a new series of mini-quilts that finish 6" square that we have popped in the Shop for you.. You get full size templates to use as well as instructions with her patterns. They use a mixture of techniques from piecing and embroidery to shadow applique. Obviously because of its size the pieces used are very small and you are guaranteed to never look at your mini scraps in the same way again!
