Have any of you across the Pond bought the new Brother Scan and Cut machine. Scottie and I saw a demo on TV yesterday and we are soooo tempted. (It is available here in UK next month.)

I used my nearly crazy mug-rug design and substituted the central part with this new freebie from Urban Threads. Perfect for Mike!

My second attempt to create a crazy patchwork mug-rug was more successful than the first, but then it just had to have some nice symmetrical diamond quilting! Take care, these are addictive (and a great way to use up scraps.) Again it has a pocket with

The secret birthday year is just ending (when we began, it just happened to be the end of January) and I'm wondering how to manage the next year. I am concerned that of the many people who joined up at the beginning of 2013, quite a number disappeare

Not so crazy mug-rug - I thought it was time for some designs to use up some scraps of fabric. This is all done "strip and flip". My intention was to create a crazy patchwork piece but my OCD took over! It has a pocket built into the back for a piece of

Quiltgrama asked me to post this picture of her secret birthday gift for her. I wish that IE could get itself sorted out soon!

Another octagonal thingy. I was inspired by the version posted by jofrog with the central section the same as one of the other fabrics. The second picture is the back view and the third is a close up of the ladder stitched opening. It is quite hard to tel

Molly the Mermaid is finished!. I tried 4 different faces on this one, but decided to stick with this simple one. She is about 15cm tall and made in two hoopings. Incidentally, the real Molly is my great-niece who is into marine life, real or imaginary

Hearts table topper This is the larger version - about 40 cm across. I was rather lazy with this one and stitched it together with a fancy stitch on my sewing machine. I wish I had hand stitched it first!

I've been untwisting by trying out a new idea today. This little mermaid is quickly made in two hoopings (although it did take a while to turn her through!) Back to the drawing board now though as I think her face needs more character.

Quilted Table topper, made ITH in 4 sections. Rsehorse gave me the inspiration for this last summer when I was making baby sunhats. I'd didn't test the design at the time and only remembered it when Ethan posted some lovely table toppers last week. The

Are you ready to twist again? This is the hexagon version now available in 4 sizes on Yoriko's site. The central decoration is not part of the design so choose something that goes with your fabric. If you had the patience to make a lot, I think they w
