Scrappy Trip Along.

Well my Scrappy Trip Along top is all finished, Yay! 
I ended up making 39 blocks instead of 36, at some point I lost count of how many I had made and I've ended up with a couple of spare ones! 


The size is perfect, this quilt isn't one that's going on the bed so I didn't need it to be any bigger and it will probably end up being the one that get's used the most.


The quilt came together really quickly as the tutorial is really easy to follow. However it's going to have to wait in the WIP pile for a little while longer as I need some more wadding and a backing fabric. In the meantime I've just got to keep the dog off it!

Latest Delivery.

Things have been a bit slow on the creative front around here since Christmas. I only seem to have had a couple of productive sewing days since the new year.
 If you are following us on Instagram you may have seen a little peak of a quilt we are jointly working on but as the special birthday has been and gone and we still haven't finished it then I can't ruin the surprise just yet!


I have however succumbed to the Scrappy Quit Along that you may have have also seen on Instagram. I have already finished 19 blocks!


I was so indecisive about which fabrics to use that in the end I just cut strips off every piece of fabric I had in my stash, didn't matter how long I'd had it, or if I had been saving it for something special I just cut. It was very liberating and I'm so pleased I did it. 

We also took delivery of some new fabrics!! We have some Architextures by Carolyn Friedlander for Robert Kaufman Fabrics and also Metro Living. 


Our first bolt of Type by Julia Rothman for Windham Fabrics. We should have some more from this range and Architextures in the next few weeks. We'll let you know as soon as it comes in. 

Happy sewing!!

Missing U?

Simply Color by V & Co.
We now have the Ombre Solids and the Ombre Dots for sale in our EBay shop. 
I struggled with this as I kept typing Colour and not Color (even now as I type this its looks wrong and I have to keep looking at the labels to check!) hence the post title 'Missing U'!!

Anyway whichever way you spell it they are stunning fabrics just waiting to be used as a fabulous quilt backI think the Grey is my favourite in both the Ombre & the Ombre Dots. 
(Have I spelt Grey right?? Grey Gray?)
