Yesterday I was able to go to the sewing machine shop that I use. Due to distance from home I don't get in more than a couple of times a year. I was able to have a good look round and catch up on sewing machine news and buy some supplies. I also colle

Ideas please as I have none. Today I went into a local charity shop that had a number of old cream wool blankets. They were old and felted from washing. I couldn't think of what to do with one if I got it. Inspiration has struck which is why I'm ask

I had a day out at the end of last week and was able to buy the ribbons I have photographed. It was very difficult to decide which ones to get as there was such a lovely selection. I will now have some more ribbons for my next lot of taggy blankets. I

Apologies that I have been unable to be here recently, family and life are the reason. I have mentioned here before that my embroidery machine was a gift from a very longstanding friend. Sadly her house has been badly flooded in the severe weather that
