A place to record my crafting adventures
From the category archives:

There are 21 different fabrics featured and fabric selection was made much easier with two of us finding prints that we thought would work.

Given my sewing mojo is well and truly back I thought it best to strike whilst the iron is hot. Enter the 90 Degree Quilt. Made up of hot pinks, teal and pops of grey, it is one of the brightest quilts I have made in a while. I could bang on and on about [...]
