I've made a lot of these this week whilst testing this new design with a few tweaks so I thought I could make them in my sleep. I was proved wrong this morning when I decided to make another one for my own kitchen. I was half way round adding the binding

This small quilt was made from stretch fabrics given to me by a friend. I made the central section entirely in the hoop and then made the borders in strips to sew on. I use voile as a base fabric to build up the blocks and stretch toweling inside (both al

Carolyn reminded me that I hadn't posted this new A5 book cover yet. It is made and fits in a different way to the usual. It accommodates different thicknesses of book and adjustments can be made for slightly different cover sizes. The matching A6

Two of the ladies who come regularly to my J club asked me for a "nice bag pattern". They have Janome 350E machines and their "big" hoop is 140 mm x 200 mm so this was a bit of a challenge! Made in the hoop except for a couple of straight seams to

I've been doodling this design today. The book cover is made continuously in three hoopings. The style of cover will accommodate different thicknesses of book and small adjustments can be made for slightly different cover sizes. Now to write the instr

FQ's from Aldi enable me to try out ideas and test new methods without spending a great deal of money. For this quilt I used 4 packs of FQs. I took 3 out of each for the backing and used the other three for the piecing which was all done in the hoop of m

I covered a couple of IKEA chairs using fat quarters from Aldi and I had a few bits left .... so I made a bag. I used my own modular tote design and used a simple applique design in place of the zipped pocket and the flap pocket. I made the handles with f

This is a block I digitised to piece in the hoop. The 4 blocks were also joined ITH. The back of the cushion was added on the sewing machine. If I had decided at the outset that it would be a cushion, it would have all been done in the hoop.

As you may know, I love to push the boundaries of the possibilities for ITH designs. These are my latest.<br /><br /> All are made with just the bare minimum of straight sewing when they come out of the hoop. (Shoulder seams on the waistcoats, sides se

Cheese cloth top (as we are having a heatwave!) I digitised a simple neckline and added the designs from Urban Threads. This went in the middle of a rectangle of fabric. My design added a facing. Then I hemmed the sides (4mm rolled hem foot) and the botto

"Chaos Theory" - when I began making this, I wanted it to be ugly! I chose genuine scraps which were no use for anything else and didn't go together. (It was paper pieced on scrap paper and I used up random thread left on bobbins.)<br /><br /><br /><br

This quilt was hand stitched with contributions from 30 or so people. The fabric was 3 FQ packs from Aldi. plus quite a lot of Ditte from Ikea. I assembled it, backed it with fleece and quilted it using my embroidery machine and a hexagonal flower design
