2019 Finish-a-long – Q4 – The Final Furlong

Eek! How did we get to the last FAL list of the year and I've still got so much stuff left!?! Having only completed a pitiful two projects from my Q3 list I only have myself to blame. With the addition of a couple of Christmas-related projects that need adding for this quarter my list …

2019 Finish-a-long – Q3 – 6 months down, 6 months to go!

I can't believe we're on the downward slope to Christmas already. During Q2 I completed five projects, which just happened to be the five that I added to my list at the start of the second quarter. Rather disappointingly, that does mean that from my original list of 21 outstanding projects I have still only …

May Round-Up

Coming in a bit later than usual this month, but I've been a busy woman, what can I say? May has been taken up largely by non-quilty work (got to pay the mortgage and fabric bills somehow), but I did find time for some sewing. Hopefully Mini Archie will forgive my late submission to his …

April Round-Up

Due to the fine weather at the end of April, this month has been a happy mix of sewing and gardening, with a spot of travel thrown in. The latter two activities have meant that I've only completed two projects this month, but I have made some good progress on two others. First to finish …

2019 Finish-a-long – Q2 – Runners and Riders Revisited

Those first three months have flown by and from my original list of 21 outstanding projects I have completed seven...and added three (edit) five new ones. It could be worse, at least my overall numbers are heading in the right direction! I'll be using the hashtag #2019FALQ2afoxmadethis on Instagram to link all my finishes from …

Brimfield Awakening Swap – embracing curved EPP

I used to do a lot of swaps via Instagram and I loved them. I received some beautiful things in return and I learnt something new from each one I joined. Eventually, I reached a point where I wanted to focus on projects for me or gifts for friends and family and now I only …

March Round-up

Is it time to join Mini Archie's furtle around the blogosphere once more? Time really does fly! Not to be too Bronte about it, Dear Reader, but when last we met I aspired for March to be more productive than February had been. Read on to find out if I my aspirations were realised... Let's …

February Round-up

I'm back in the blogosphere and shamed to report a woeful finish-along output of only one project for February...really must try harder. It is a good one though and a project that I've wanted to complete for a long time, I just wasn't confident in doing it. This rainbow of ombre pineapple blocks has been …

January Round-Up

I've managed to cross four projects off my Q1 Finish-a-long list this January, not a bad start! I thought I'd do a little round-up, which will also be my contribution to the new link-up party hosted by Mini Archie over at Archie the wonder dog's blog.Come join us there for a Furtle through all our …

Luminaries – a quilty road trip

Imagine my utter delight back in August 2018 when this parcel of gorgeous Alison Glass fabric arrived on my doorstep. The richness of the colour and the interplay of the individual fabrics with one another was so inspiring that I was itching to start a project with it straight away. Road Trip - Alison Glass …
