Hello!

How are we all? Well, what a year 2020 turned out to be, and to be honest 2021 has taken off in pretty much the same style. We've been in a national lockdown here in the UK since the start of the year and continue to be in one. Working from home has become the new norm, but I am so happy I have a creative outlet to focus on!

Quilting and just generally playing around with fabric has been my happy place, and if I didn't have enough fabric to play with I received a Cricut Joy for Christmas and have also delved into bullet journalling, well my own take on it! So plenty to keep me busy and lots of plans to make!

IG is still my go to place for the quilting community, inspiration and sew alongs but having seen a few others lose their account and having that happened to me before I decided I wanted to return to here to also document my quilting adventures. 

On my last post I left you all hanging on Week 6 of the Mini Series Sew Along. I had so much fun with the sew along hosted by Giucy Giuce and Alison Glass on IG and love my final makes. So here they are! I used all but one of the blocks to make a quilt, using some of my favourite fabrics Ombre by V&Co (Moda) and for the backing Ikea Britten Number fabric. 



Quilt measures H 156cm x W 140cm, quilted with Aurifil 50wt and Hobbs cotton batting (80% cotton / 20% polyester).

With the remaining block I made a project pouch, using vinyl for the front, which I love! 


So, I hope you are well, let me know what you have been stitching and if there is anything you want to see round here! I might even start up doing tutorials again! 

Happy Stitching!
