"Hooking" at The Hen House
I had an absolutely wonderful time yesterday learning to hook wool rugs at The Hen House. Today, I'd like to tell you about my lesson and show you around the store more. Last time I as there, I missed half the shop, because I never even walked back to the classroom! Shame on me! Nancy bega...

Woodland fat quarter pack + Vignette competition
Have you seen the latest issue of Leanne Beasley's Vignette magazine? Among the pages you will find the Cinderberry Stitches studio and a girl I kind of know looking back at you. Let me tell you it was amazing to have both Leanne and Melinda come to visit my home studio - you know you are amon...
Snowglobes are the dreamiest!!! So glad Christmas comes in July this year!!!! Your line is so sweet and certainly captures the gentle happy feeling of a home-themed Christmas. A purchase is definitely in my future!!

Cherry Christmas!!!!!!!
Fancy a closer look at my new line Cherry Christmas??? Well here we go :) This one is my first holiday line for Moda, more than Chrismas itself this line celebrates the run up to the big day and all the anticipation that it brings. I don't know about you but in my house this is when plain ol...
Love the little foxes! Fussy cutting always adds such wonderful interest to pieced blocks! Your little stitcheries are definitely heirlooms in the making!

pedaling along
I've been pedaling away at my sewing machine, stitching up the many whims of ideas circling around my head parts, cutting up fabric and sewing it back together again in the name of patchwork. And pillows. The pillow above and below is my latest fancy and uses 6" square traditional quilt blocks...
So glad the sun finally came out!! Laundry on the line is one of my favorite things. Because of the mild winter we just had I was able to do bed linens that way all winter long....such a treat! Love those give-aways! Have a wonderful weekend! Hugs, Doreen

Today you get a lovely pic of my handmade laundry drying on the line outside, just because the English sun has finally put his hat on and come out. As well as sunshine and laundry I am also bringing you the names of the two winners of my sewmamasew giveaway post who each win their choice of an...

The view from the morning
Still here, painting my magic way around the house. On today's exciting make over schedule so far have been - painting the (only slightly classy) folding slatted double door that leads into my downstairs little washroom. It's quite a sticky tricky business negotiating how to go about coverin...

not business as usual
This is the view I am facing today. As part of the not very usual scheme of things I have been abandoning the fabric stuff for a little drippy paint stuff over the last few days. Things are getting painted around here with a shiny new lick of gloss or matt covering. Oh you don't know how ha...

Its been a busy few days involving 12 year old birthdays, quilt guild meetings and the bank holiday but I'm finally here to put the terrific (or perhaps the terrible) into your Tuesday with the aid of a few dozen embroidery stitches disguised as a tree. After completing all of the embroideri...

feeling flossy
Lately I've been feeling in an embroidery mood, the urge to stitch just seems to be prevalent over and above all habits and persuasions. After completing the huge amount needed for my book - which by the way is now listed on Amazon! and if you wanted to be nice you could just 'like it' on ther...
Love all those books and am so glad there are so many of us in this book crazed group!! My next purchase will be Fons & Porter's "Patriotic Quilts" as our quilt guild does many quilts for the returning military.....a part of a national program called "Quilts of Valor". Like you, and others, the books are the 'spring board' that gets the inspirational "juices" flowing for all those 'next projects'. Fun post! Have an awesome day, hugs, Doreen

words and pictures
Ive been pondering lately, thinking about why I still buy craft books when there is so much available on line for free. I love me a good crafty book - a couple of hundred pages of 'I could make that' inspiration bound in a tempting 'buy me now' cover and speckled with ' you could make me this...
Your sweet daughter makes a superb quilt elf and, yes, my eyes do struggle to see the "m" amidst the pinwheels!! Lovely fresh Springtime quilt (Spring is the time for weather system battles here, too. Very cool and many rain filled days!). Lovely pics. Hugs, Doreen

With the rain lashing down endlessly again; I have decided to live in denial for a few minutes by feeding you the impression that it is in fact fairly beautiful outside. These lovely pics of my finished Delightful quilt were taken a couple of weeks back, when we were living (as we should be) ...
That is exactly what these colorful little creations are for, in my opinion: to brighten those small corners that have been patiently waiting in the shadows!!!! Love it!!! Hugs, Doreen

I have spent the last couple of days getting away from it all over in 'Summersville'. I have chopped and stripped and paper pieced my way to a nice bit of wonky chevron-esque patchwork thingy (see above). I have spent time ironing my wonky chevron-esque patchwork thingy in my kitchen whilst...
Hot pads have been my "go to" gift for quite a while. We all have/need them and never seem to want to purchase them cuz they are fairly expensive. I seem to have to force myself to throw them away even though they have reached a pretty bad condition!!! I wonder why is that!?! Yours are darling!!!

hold those pots
In an effort to pretty up my kitchen and convince my own self to spend a little more time in there, I have found myself a new found love of making - pot holders. I am not 100% sure what pot holders actually are, I think they are to put hot pans onto? or perhaps to protect your hands whilst ho...
Love it! It might need a cute little cup and plate of little cakes to go with it. Maybe the 3 items in a narrow runner that can be put beneath your cupboard? Darling table area, too! Will keep a watch to see what comes next. Pour that tea! I haven't done much paper piecing. Really haven't found that 'special something' I just HAD to do! Maybe now I have!!! Hugs, Doreen

I'm not sure how much you think you know about me but if there is one thing I love it is this - a cup of tea. I practise my love of tea several times a day with cups of the ordinary (otherwise known as builder's brew), peppermint (to wake me up) and cammomile (to calm me down). My daughter's ...
Great post, Emma! Now that you have gotten your "feet wet", I hope we can 'hear' more from you, hmmmmmmmm? Hubby and I have been praying for you all since first reading about your mom many months ago. We will continue to lift you all up before His throne daily. Blessings and hugs from S.E.

Over the last couple of days I've been grabbing every available opportunity to get a little playtime into my daily schedule. There has been so much going on back to back, lots of having to use every available braincell activity that it has been a refreshing release just to sneaky in a bit of ...
How wonderful!! Will head for my (relatively) local Barnes & Noble Book Store this weekend!! Your 'sweet pillows' have been the object of my admiration for quite some time (my house is filled with pillows but yours are so special, made with all that beautiful "Aneela" fabric!!!

Those sox are great!! Am currently doing a new pair, also. You have inspired me to get back to the project. That next pair looks like fun! And I love the "confetti" yarn!-D The available yarns are so awesome these days.....so much better than years ago! Enjoy and a huge 'well done'....hugs, Doreen

Please don't think that the title of today's post means that I am having any kind of urgent giveaway (in the UK, 999 is the number you dial when you need one of the emergency services). Instead it refers to the total number of sales I currently have in my little etsy shop and the party part o...

I am feeling completely overwhelmed today. I feel like I have a bad habit, a habit that makes it almost impossible to say the word 'no'. I have said the opposite word to no far too many times over these last few months and as a result I feel like I am struggling to swim my way through all th...

Love those faux bean plants....I NEED some of those! I imagine quilters' desire to play with simple patchwork, at times, is what brought about the first (Moda)Charms! There is something in their simplicity that evokes the essence of "quilting" and all the wonderful memories that come along with them! Lovely post;b Hugs,Doreen

There is nothing I like better than a good habit. Something you are known to do as regular as clockwork, something that you just plain like doing for the good old sake of it, something that makes you think ' oh goody, I am still me'. Something that put the u into you. Before I go into the ...
