The 100 day project – update

It’s day 89 of my project, 100 days of stash busting. It’s been going well – the finished projects are piling up, and the stash is decreasing. There’s certainly plenty of fabric left, but it does now all fit in the chest of drawers I bought to keep everything in! I haven’t got anything completed… Read More The 100 day project – update

Quilt-As-You-Go

One of the first projects I decided on for my 100 days of stashbusting was a quilt for the garden bench. Looking through my patterns and quilting books was frustrating. I have a lot of fabric, but it’s mainly in fat quarters so not enough of anything to make most patterns. Jera Brandvig‘s Quilt As… Read More Quilt-As-You-Go

Decluttering

One of my goals this year is to dramatically cut the amount of things I buy. I find decluttering helps me to cut spending – it’s a reminder of how much I already have. So I’m going to do a ‘Get Rid of 500 things’ challenge again. I did this in 2015 and you can… Read More Decluttering

Vintage Home BOM – Egg cups & ‘Royal’ mug

This month on the Vintage Home quilt along the blocks are egg cups and a commemorative mug – great timing with a royal wedding next week! Jo included an embroidery design for the mug which is lovely, but I wanted a cross stitch design to go with the caddy’s I’ve already made.  I found a Queen Bee pattern by… Read More Vintage Home BOM – Egg cups & ‘Royal’ mug
