2020

Safe to say it's been very quiet here on my blog. 2020 was a bit of a shock; returning to work after having a baby, only for Covid restrictions to kick in a week later.

Travel plans thrown into disarray; our anniversary trip to Hawaii was first to go, and right now we should be in Chicago getting ready for a white Christmas. Unfortunately the universe had other plans.

Lots of missed time with family and friends as we endured over 100 days of lockdown. There are times when I'm glad to have a house full of fabric!

I've had lots of lovely new fabrics arrive this year, the most recent being Shine On and Hibernate.

I also have lots of fabulous fabrics in the Sale section, with most priced at $15/m.

Wishing everyone a merry and safe Christmas, wherever you may be. If you are in or are heading into lockdown, I wish you all the best. It's not fun, but it is doable, and will be over before you know it.

Summer Dance by Bethan Janine for Dashwood Studio

Long time no see! In a world of Instagram blogger gets a little neglected these days. But I promise the shop is still going strong, and you can find my most up to date information on Instagram.

The newest arrival in the shop is Summer Dance, which is a great mini collection featuring an array of creatures including the most gorgeous butterfly and bee prints. It's impossible to choose a favourite.

The butterfly is definitely my top pick at the moment though.

You can find the full range and bundles here

Smitten by Bonnie and Camille for Moda

This one has been in the store for a few weeks now but is still on my "get it while it's hot" list.

Such a great range of prints, and includes the addition of wide back lawns and some cute washi tape.

LemonTree from Tilda at Bella's Patchwork

Another gorgeous range that I currently have in the shop is LemonTree from Tilda. I must snaffle some away for myself before it all sells out!

I have most of the range available along with a fat quarter and half metre bundle option.

Pattern Launch: Vernazza

Last year I was lucky enough to have another one of my quilts published in Love Patchwork and Quilting which is released in the UK. Enough time has now passed that I can launch this pattern as a PDF, available directly from my website.

This quilt was inspired by some of the gorgeous tiles I saw during a trip to Cinque Terre in Italy, and was perfectly suited to the Grand Canal fabric range from Kate Spain. You can find the pattern here.

Nest from Art Gallery Fabrics

Sweet sayings and imagery reminiscent of childhood come together with modern designs in Nest. This gender neutral collection showcases cute paws, little bears, and adorable lambs against a contrasting black and white palette for cuddly sewing.

Nest from Art Gallery Fabrics has arrived! I have the full range of cottons available including the three panels. Some prints are selling fast so don't delay.

Dollhouse by Amy Sinibaldi for Art Gallery Fabrics

Amy never disappoints with her fabric ranges, and this one is no exception. The complete range of Dollhouse has arrived in store, and is available by the metre and as a number of different bundle options.

You'll also see our website has had a little makeover, and is now mobile friendly, so you can shop no matter where you are.
