Boom! 💥 I have been thinking outside the box… or ‘sewing left of centre’ with the @lewisandirenefabrics ‘ Animal Alphabet line: you’ll see no animals, and no alphabet, but even so, I can’t wait to show you the finished project 😊. This has been a really fun challenge, ⚡️

Every time I have given myself a deadline or time related goal I just do something else. 🤷‍♀️The side-quests are completely out of control at this point, which is just how I like them 😂… sometimes creativity works best that way! Today’s saw me creating this panel from @lewisandirenefabrics ‘animal alphabet’ fabrics. And yes, you’re right: not an animal in sight here. But what I love about this line is the geometric colour explosion, and I leaned into that. So now I’ve made the panel and have hatched a plan for it, and I have yet another project to feel excited about. .

As I pack up my makes for this weekends @paperdaisyevents market, I realised I didn’t share my project bag and pouches that came together using this gorgeous feed sack fabric. It’s scrummy!!

Today’s side quest is this panel! I dug into my @rubystarsociety scrap bags, (which I got from @elephasfabrics … already looking forward to a restock!! ) and had a go at QAYG…. I feel a new obsession infiltrating my day to day 🤗 . #qayg #quiltasyougo #rubystarsociety #rubystarsocietyfabric

🌞 Vintage fabric sun hats are incoming! This one was made using a curtain from the early 70s by St Michael (who later became Marks and Spencers). The print has been copied by an unimaginative big fashion brand 🙄 . #vintagefashion #vintagefabric #upcycled #serpentinehat

Getting ruffle-ready for the @paperdaisyevents market next weekend at @thebritishengineerium . Liberty fabric vs ruffles is always a good idea. . Lucifer is wearing my forever favourite vintage tablecloth shirt made by the talented @a.circular.story ❤️

This was the first ever quilt I made from start to finish- and it’s still giving the snuggles we need! I love how quilts never run out of snuggles 🥰 🌈🌞 . I adore the fields when they glow like this. But you know the drill: sunglasses on to protect eyes from pollen attack and plenty of hankies for the inevitable nose blowing. Hayfever is miserable but the beauty makes it seem just a trifle 💛 . #patchworkquilt #rainbowquilt

I’m currently making a new Nellie using this line by @lewisandirenefabrics (which I’m very excited about); but Small Things: Fairytales was calling out for some Happy Square action! The fussy cutting opportunity is off the scale- scroll to see some of those cuties! I made up a set of #thehappysquarespouch and a project bag too. **FUN FACT** scroll far enough to see those dreamy-soft hanks of yarn… these are spun from my dogs’undercoat. Yup- that is DOG WOOL ! .

I finally made some cute things with my orphan #talltalesquiltblock s. I didn’t have room for them on my #talltalesquilt but loved them too much to waste! Book block pattern by @katebasti - who may be running her sew along again this year- be sure to let her know if you’re keen!
