We had a discussion a week or so ago about how words have different meanings in different parts of the world. We only talked about sewing words. However, it all goes much further and has much more serious implications. Some words which are deeply profa

For those of you who liked the sheepish fabric I've used for a couple of projects lately I have found out that it is "Knitty Sheep" designed by Greta Lynn for Kanvas. I've googled it and it should be possible to get it in USA. However, I also f

More birds as requested. I hope you approve of these two - I looked at hundreds of photographs before I came up with these! Like the British birds, they are stitched on felt and the colour of the felt shows through the "feathers".

I had a small piece of sheepish fabric left, so I thought I had better use it before I lost it! Hence this purse for all of the paraphernalia that knitters carry about (stitch holders, tape measure, cable needles etc.) The word paraphernalia didn't fit s

Three cute little guys to look after your Easter goodies with alternative fastening methods. Kam Snaps - yet again. Unfortunately the chick (or is it a duckling?) doesn't have room for an overlapped back and it is optional on the other two!

This is a quilt block from Sew magazine here in England. I was helping one of the young members of our stitching bee to put one of these together so I thought I'd do one myself! Mike says it looks more like a cat than a rabbit. In answer to "how

After some tweaking my little birds are ready to fly around the world. They are the common birds that are found in English gardens, just about life size and made in felt. They perch with the help of tiny clothes pegs. The leaf design is included. I hop

A case for a set of crochet hooks, made in the hoop. I couldn't resist the fabric! The elastic is under slight tension so it holds the hooks firmly, but it does distort the shape a little.

When I digitised the very simple place setting design for the village hall table cloth, I didn't realise now versatile it would be. Here is the largest size in the centre of a quilted place mat made in the hoop. The fabric for the ends and backs was a

This is a new strip and flip zipped purse made by my easy zip method. It can be made with a matching striped back or a plain back. This design was made to give something a little more challenging for my J-club ladies and one of then made the green and

I think that our non-English speaking members do a fabulous job, but the rest of us must make life hard for them with some of the language we use. This is because around the English speaking world we have either different words for the same thing or the s

This tape measure came as part of a set of "tools for knitters". It has centimeters on one side and a mysterious unit on the other which I have not previously come across. Each one is equivalent to about one and a quarter inches. I measured my waist wit

One of my J-club ladies has just sent me this picture of a bag she has made using the ITH courthouse steps block I showed them how to make at our last meeting. I'm so chuffed! I digitised nine different blocks for them so they should be busy for weeks
