A group of 4 crazy patchwork blocks, pieced and joined in the hoop. Following Mops' comment - the second picture is what one block repeated with the same colours and rotated for each join could look like.

A new addition to my menagerie - I had a request for a dachshund stuffie, so here he is.

This is an "artist's companion". Sketch pad on the right and pockets for pencils etc on the left. It was made in the hoop. The embroidery design on the front is from Urban Threads. It has elastic to keep it closed.

This little chap is a worry keeper. The idea is that children put their worries into it at bedtime. I can think of a few adults who could do with one!

A member of my Facebook group (Engineered in Stitches) asked if I could digitise something for bee keepers. The tiny, anatomically correct honey bee was a challenge, but I think I got away with it!

Meet Barnabas. The hospice I support is having a coffee morning tomorrow so I thought I'd make a raffle prize. (I needed to test stitch the design!) His limbs are attached with Kam Snaps.

This is the ith quilt block I've been playing with this week.<br /><br /> The first picture is of two blocks, pieced, backed, quilted and joined in the hoop. A bit of digital trickery has given me two possible layouts to use. Incidentally the beautifu

I've called this design Pretty Maids (all in a row.) I've actually been fiddling around with it on and off for about 3 years, but I've finally called it finished. It is made in the hoop except for gathering the skirt pieces and the side seams.

This is Topsy. She is made in the 130 x 180 hoop, but her skirt has to be made on the sewing machine. I've tried to recreate the style of doll we used to make in the 1960's.

My big sister is setting off on a cruise today. On Sunday she told me that she could do with something to put her travel documents in. I adapted the method of my A5 notebook design to make her this. It has the cover of an old A5 notebook inside. The desig

Cushion cover to use up some jelly roll strips left from a quilt. Each block was pieced, appliqued, backed, quilted and joined in the hoop. Next step will have to be to use this technique to make a whole quilt!

I should have been doing so many other things this afternoon, but I couldn't resist the temptation to play. This little zipped purse is the result. I seem to be in crazy patchwork mode at the moment! The fabrics are some of the bits I have left after sev

I had a brainwave at silly o'clock this morning and came up with these A5 notebook/diary covers. They are made in two hoopings, lined, no raw edges inside and with only the tiniest bit of hand or machine sewing to finish.

I had made a panel of English paper pieced patchwork, but it wasn't big enough to make a bag (I'd run out of the fabric.) So I decided to make one half of the bag in a denim fabric with a brown thread in it as well as the blue. The embroidery design is

This is my second sketch book/artist's companion. I'm not 100% chuffed with it but I think the friend I've made it for will like it. The pockets on the inside for pencils etc were done in the hoop. The design on the front is from Urban Threads. It has
