Tri Tote Workshop with Jennie

You can never have enough (useful) bags and this tote from Jennie is also expandable so perfect to take when visiting a quilt show – as you never know how much you might be inspired by! The size Jennie demonstrates utilizes 5 Fat 1/4’s perfectly but you can make the bag smaller very easily as it’s just based on triangles. Jennie also gives you some great tips on how to add the lining and make the handles using the triple zig-zag stitch (did you always wonder what that stitch is on your machine?!) Watch Now+

Throwback Thursday

This scrap quilt remains one of Valerie’s favourites and with today’s modern piecing methods you can make it even quicker (and how about checking out some of the new strip packs in the shop from Creative Quilting – think how wonderful this could be using Japanese inspired fabrics) – of course if using up your stash has been your new year’s resolution – then you just need to get sorting and cutting into 2.5” strips!

Out and About

Did you catch up with our interview with Hilary Beattie – the award winning textile artist and quilter. We learn what inspires Hilary; how important it is for her to be creative and interestingly enough how she feels we should all allow ourselves ‘play time’ and also for some of us to give ourselves permission to be ‘messy and creative’ !!!!
