Umbrella Prints Trimmings on Pinterest

Earlier this week I showed you my QAYG fabric basket, made with one packet of Umbrella Prints Trimmings. The closing date for entries into the Umbrella Prints Trimmings Competition was yesterday and all entries have been uploaded to the Umbrella Prints Trimmings Pinterest board.

Adding to my Stash...

I may have a room full of fabrics and sewing notions, but there's not nearly enough to cater for every sewing activity. Sometimes a project calls for large quantities of co-ordinating fabric that I just don't have.

Fabric Basket ~ Umbrella Prints Trimmings

I've just finished my latest fabric basket, this time made with trimmings from Umbrella Prints. Last year I had good intentions of entering the annual Umbrella Prints Trimmings Competition, but my crazy patchwork zippered pouch didn't make the cut off date. This year I've finished a QAYG fabric basket with a few days to spare.

Dry Erase Colouring Placemat ~ Tutorial by Deby, from So Sew Easy

Deby has just released a new pattern... Sew Simple Leggings for real women. The free tutorial to draft your own is still available, but I've just bought the pattern tonight. At only $2.95, I'd rather have Deby do all the hard work! Now I just need to find the time to make them. 

English Paper Piecing ~ WIP...

Back in January, I showed you the English Paper Pieced hexagons I was working on. The hexies are still a work in progress, but in the meantime I've begun another English Paper Piecing project. In March I was lucky enough to attend the three day Autumn Quilting Triple Treat at Blackheath. Day 1 was English Paper Piecing, with Rachael Porter, from Stitches and Sew On.

Peter Rabbit Doll Quilt ~ FMQ...

Last week I showed you my Free Motion Quilting (FMQ) on a doll quilt, which was made to match the fairy panel quilt. I've been practising FMQ on a second doll quilt, this time to match the Peter Rabbit quilt.

Building Strong Relationships with Kids...

I'm guessing the vast majority of you are parents, or hope one day to be one. It's a very special role!!! Whatever their age, as parents, we all want to do the very best for our children, to be close to them and to have strong, enduring relationships.
