Another recent pattern of mine is featured in Love Patchwork & Quilting magazine, issue 140 🥰.

'Meadow Sweet' is so easy to make with a jelly roll and a little extra yardage. It's the perfect quilt pattern for a beginner, or any quilter looking for a quick make, as it uses speedy strip-piecing techniques.

The finished quilt measures 54" square, making 'Meadow Sweet' the ideal size for a crib/baby quilt or a lap quilt. The pattern also includes fabric quantities and instructions to make a coordinating cushion.

My latest quilt pattern design for Love Patchwork & Quilting magazine is 'Timeless Treasure' and it's out now!

Issue 136 is available online and in print from selected UK supermarkets and branches of Hobbycraft. It features lots of projects for sustainable sewing.

My design is based on the classic quarter log-cabin and is very easy to make. I made mine with vintage fabrics and scraps, plus a 1970s bedsheet on the back for extra vintage vibes.

I hope you'll love it - let me know if you're planning on making your own version.

With a heavy heart and a deep sigh, it's time to say goodbye...

That's right, I'm selling some of my favourite handmade quilts (sob!).

My sample quilt sale is now on and there are quilts, Christmas stockings and cushions/pillows to be bought and treasured at bargain prices, including free delivery in the UK.

I just can't keep all my creations so I'm looking for loving homes for my quilted babies. They could be all yours in good time for Christmas so treat yourself, or someone you love, with the gift of quilts and quilted goodies.
