Do the larger sizes of Kam Snaps have proportionally longer spikes? I can't use the ones I have on the project I'm working on and it is frustrating!!

I'm planning a quilt using an ITH block so this is what I've been doodling today. I'm posting it in sewing because it doesn't matter what sort of block it is. The first picture is the basic block which I have made (it will be a pot holder - waste not

Woo hoo - my pincushion has already arrived! I have opened it and can report that it is fabulous but I will not share a picture until 1st July. That should rattle up everyone else - mine is made but not yet packed up and posted. When yours

Pincushion query! Those of you on the left hand side of the Atlantic Ocean call what we on the right hand side call a cushion, a pillow. So, why don't you have pin pillows? I'm just going out now to avoid any flak!

Have any of you tried shoe making? This pair of soles (by Prym) was a birthday gift from a fellow Cutie (and good friend.) I'm just experimenting with them and will report back later!

Panic over. I just moved the furniture again and found it! Thanks for your help and sympathy. Desperate! I've lost the little black thingumijig which sits in the Kam snap pliers where the pointy part sits. If only I knew what it was called, I c

I have to share some pictures of birthday gifts my daughter brought me today. The little chest of drawers is decoupage and the tie dyed doily was an off white one from a jumble sale. The fabric wrapped parcel is two presents in one. It contained a pai

I took a few projects on holiday with me - 4 weeks is a long time to be idle! This jacket was well on the way to being finished when we left home. It began as a waistcoat, knitted in one piece. (A rectangle, knitted sideways with slits for armholes. The c

Challenge time! The Projects section is moving very slowly at the moment. Some of you must be busy at your embroidery machines so why not show the rest of us what you are working on?

Four cathedral window origami pinwheel blocks made up into a cushion cover. This technique is really fun to do and I'm going to seek out more blocks using origami methods. Four more pinwheel blocks - striped fabric seems to be particularly effecti

I'm not very interested in how many flowers I have, but I do like numbers. Currently I have 123446 and I would love to see 123456 before I go to bed and miss it!

I've been doodling while my embroidery machine was busy. This is the first time I've tried a cathedral window origami pinwheel. It is all done by folding , nipping, tucking and rolling, starting with a much bigger square of fabric than the finished prod

My friend's son picked her air erasable marker pen and used it do do his school homework. Of course, the next morning it had disappeared so she had to write him a letter of explanation to take to school. I don't think he will borrow it again! I'm
