Jellyroll quilt wallhanging - I have had many tribulations over this as I am really only a beginner and I aimed a bit too high!

Here we are in a rural village hall in deepest Nottinghamshire with lots of like minded people. Someone said "pose". Nuff said. So, here is me, with rosakent at the back and wendymay60 and gillemmerson. Wendy is visiting England from Australia an

This is "Monkey Business" - yet another ITH hot pack. His curly tail fits in just under the opening for the removable rice pack.

This is Snuggle Puss - a friend for the hot pack bear. I've experimented and added some lavender to the rice in the hot pack in this one. It smells lovely, but it hasn't been in the microwave yet!

I have a fancy to make some fleece slippers. I remember this time last year, some of you were making them, but I can't remember where you got the patterns. There seems to be a bewildering array out there (courtesy of Google!) Can anyone enlighten me?

Thank you all for you kind positive comments when I posted the prototype Hot Pack Bear. I've now tweaked the design a bit and added some text. The space in the middle is big enough for a name, or you could replace my text with your own. Made almost entir

What I really really need is a good soak. (Hot water, bubbles, glass of wine and a good book.) I haven't had one for months and today I'm covered in white paint. Let me explain: when I first looked round this house, before

These gift bags are "made to measure" for two jars of my preserves. They are made ITH except for attaching the handles and stitching across the corners to form the base. I changed the design for the second one, but I'm still not really happy with it s

September Challenge - cutting it a bit fine, I know! I wasn't sure if this was going to be a mug-rug or a wall hanging. The wall hanging won in the end although the buttons aren't a great colour match.

Adapatable Advent Calendar - This set of little felt stockings can be used to make an advent calendar either by buttoning them onto a backing as in the first picture or by hanging on a length of ribbon as in the second picture. Just enough room for a swee

For those interested in preserving. I've just made a batch of jelly from fruit gathered from hedgerows. (Blackberries, elderberries, rosehips, sloes and crab apples with a few grapes and cooking apples from the garden.) I began with a huge pan full a

The people of Scotland have voted to remain. part of the UK so the Union Jack flag will continue to be. (I'm not sure if it was at risk, but it would look most odd without the blue bits!)
