Welcome to my blog! This is where I write about quilting and quilty things and possibly more! I am from the north east of Scotland where we have lots of wind and rain, but when the sun shines everything sparkles. Or as we say in these parts "looks really bonnie!" I love bright fabric and while I try traditional occasionally I always end up stroking the brights! Thanks for stopping by Bonnie and Bright! Sara x

Thank you!:) It's so easy to make and the fleece fabric means it is very soft for little people!

Hi there! Yes, I am so lucky, my local quilt shop not only has a long arm quilt service but you can also get a lesson and then go for it yourself! So much fun.:) Thanks for the comment. It's made my day! Happy New Year!

In the tradition if trying new things in the New Year I have just completed something I have never attempted before. I came across a great tutorial on the blog Don't Call Me Betsy (mini-bookshelf-quilt-tutorial). I've never done an online tutorial before but I fell in love with this project... Continue reading

This was my first attempt Renate. I have to say it did make the quilt top come together much more quickly. I'd definitely recommend it! Thanks for all your lovely comments. :)
