Back to school and work today but I couldn’t get back to normal service without sharing this. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Why can’t adults look at their makes in the same way as children. We always focus on the (usually tiny) flaws but children just see the joy of the end product and the fun that got them there. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ After four cushion classes at @bobbinsandbolts F has decided he has “mastered” cushions and is ready for the next sewing challenge. Three piece suit?!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #sewingproject #sewingclasses #sewingworkshop #handmadecushion #makemodern #createmore #sewingwithchildren

Check out this gorgeous fat quarter bundle. It’s the new Bee Happy collection from @crafterscompuk. I can’t wait to use this for a spring/summer secret make (you’ll see it in @quiltnow later in the year). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . . #fabric #fabriclove #fabricaddict #quiltingfabric #quiltingtips #sewingproject #sewingtutorial #isew #iquilt #makemodern #beehappy #patternwriting #sewingmagazine

#saturdaynightcraftalong with Lucy @charmaboutyou after @leedsmqg day...what a winning Saturday!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I can share this @rosie.taylor.crafts #tubfamily medium tub now as it was gifted today in our guild secret Santa (in February 😂). These are such a lovely make and a great chance to use those much cherished scraps. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #tubfamily #sewingproject #patchwork #fabricscraps #handmadegift #isew #iquilt #machinequilting #walkingfootquilting #makemodern #createmore #saturdaynightcraftalong

Some doodling fun today getting prepped for the start of the @stringandstory Free Motion Quilting Academy at the weekend. Have I mentioned how excited I am?!?! I can’t wait for the fun of an interactive course (I love a good course/workshop!) and the joy of learning something new. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You’ve only for until Saturday to register if you want to join me and up your FMQ game. Links in my profile.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #secretsewing #machinequilting #walkingfootquilting #fmq #freemotionquilting #quiltingtips #iquilt #quiltersofinstagram #modernquilting #modernquilt #quiltingclass #quiltingtutorial #stringandstory #freemotionquiltingacademy

I can't wait for you to see the front of this quilt (in March) but for now I'll settle for sharing the back because I'm really pleased with how the quilting turned out. I wasn't sure if very angular walking foot quilting and curvy swirly free motion quilting would work well together but I think they do.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm so excited to start my FMQ course next week so I can move beyond this random motif and learn lots more techniques. If you want to join me on @stringandstory's fabulous FMQ Academy you can sign up with the link in my profile.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #secretsewing #machinequilting #walkingfootquilting #fmq #freemotionquilting #quiltingtips #iquilt #quiltersofinstagram #modernquilting #modernquilt #quiltingclass #quiltingtutorial #stringandstory #freemotionquiltingacademy

This is the English paper piecing block I made during my six article series in @quiltnow. You can see some fussy cutting, a couple of different applique methods, hand quilting, walking foot quilting and free motion quilting.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ One of the ideas I suggested for finishing an EPP block project is to applique it onto a small project like a cushion or storage pot. Here I've added it to the front of a @louorthdesigns Little Things Basket.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . . Fabrics: @dearstellafab Hook, Line and Sinker from Dark and Stormy @alisonglass Latitude (tide) from Diving Board .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #coffeeringsstudio #littlethingsbasket #isew #epp #englishpaperpiecing #handsewing #handsewn #eppdesigner #fussycutting #sewersofinstagram #machinequilting #walkingfootquilting #handquilting #fmq #freemotionquilting #sewingstorage
