Happy humpday everyone! I've been monogamously wor

Happy humpday everyone! I've been monogamously working on my Boho Beaded Pocket Scarf this week and it's so wide already! Just past the halfway point and there's maybe 4 balls of this aran yarn in there already! It's definitely going to be so cosy! I'm so excited to finish this. Too bad it'll be summer soon enough 😂

Time to make some stars! It's a wet Saturday here,

Time to make some stars! It's a wet Saturday here, so the perfect day for some EPP, coffee and podcasts. This is my not-so-perfect start of one of the rosettes for La Passacaglia. I think it should look ok when it's quilted, but it's a fiddly project. I'm using acrylic temples and pre-cut pieces from Nancy's fab site @linapatchworkepp where I also bought the book. My fabric is by Moda and is a fat quarter bundle called Midnight Magic 2 🎃🌕 The next round is some 5 pointed stars - let's see how they go!

I've been working on my Continuum blanket today as we are having the usual grey bank holiday weather 😜 I love the chunky texture of these pillars in the last couple of rounds - I think this is going to be such a fabulous blanket! My nieces and nephews picked this coral colourway for my 40th birthday present back in March and as we are stuck in a not so sunny London, it's reminding me of our fun snorkeling trips on our travels 🐠🐟

Hold on to your hats, there's a finish on my feed!

Hold on to your hats, there's a finish on my feed! This is the EPP Travel Pouch by Red Handled Scissors 💙 I've used fabric by Liberty and added a bit of sparkle with this blue heart button. There's a magnetic clasp to keep it closed and swipe to see the bits for my La Passacaglia which I want to start tomorrow 😁 I love how portable EPP is - I can just chuck everything into a tote and have enough supplies for weeks of crafting! If you've not tried English Paper Piecing before, you just need some fabric, card, needle and thread or you can get a pack of little squares of fabric and hexie templates from Lina Patchwork to have a go!

Good morning! It's beautifully sunny in London tod

Good morning! It's beautifully sunny in London today, so while we decide what we're doing, I thought I best make a start on a travel pouch for my EPP. This pattern is on the Red Handled Scissors website and is a free Hexie Pouch. It will hold templates, fat quarters, sewing bits and completed modules, so pretty much all you need! I will be making a couple of hexie flowers and at the top of this is a sparkly blue button, because shiny. The fabric is by Liberty and I'm using the two blues for the main colours and the blue and white for some contrast in the flowers 💙 Is it bad I want it to rain so I can just sit at my sewing machine? 😂

The other day I stumbled across an epic EPP quilt

The other day I stumbled across an epic EPP quilt and having the self control of a.....hmmmm, not very controlled thing, had to kit it up. The pattern is on the cover of this book and is called La Passacaglia. Clicking through endless pages of fabric bundles, I found this epic set called Midnight Magic 2 by Moda and isn't it perfect! I have made some fussy cutting viewers and on the bottom right is my fussy cutting mirror. Swipe to see how it helps you pick where you want to make your cuts! I wasn't sure if the viewer would work, but I'm a bit chuffed that it does 🤓 I think this might keep me a bit busy!

It's feels like a perfect evening for some paper piecing 💚 I'm so close to finishing these hexie flowers before I start on some different modules, and colours(!) for this project. The purple thing is one of my new favourite things - it's a needle threader and works perfectly with the tiny eye in these appliqué needles 🔍
I'm really enjoying the slow speed of paper piecing as it's so relaxing. There are some incredible projects out there too, so if you're curious give it a go as you really don't need much at all to get started!

Hi everyone! We are away this week and enjoying the sun in Devon and Somerset after lockdown was eased here in the UK ☀️ There's been plenty of hiking, fish and chips and relaxing and I've *finally* got to grips with my first piece of macramé jewellery. I think. Ok, so it's not perfect by a long shot, but the further I get away from the bead, I can see my tension and knots getting neater. The technique reminds of tatting and did take me a bit of getting used to, but it is a lot of fun and does work up quicker than I thought. I hope you have all had good weeks and some sunshine wherever you are! 💙

Hi everyone! I've been a bit quiet on here this week, as work has been taking up far too much of my time 😜 However, I did buy yarn and beads, a new pattern and start another project. I know, I know, not like me at all! This is the beginning of Boho Beaded Pocket Scarf by tlcrochet and I'm using Stylecraft Aran in Mocha and I have these dark wooden beads for the pockets. The finished scarf is like half a blanket and has loads of chunky texture so perfect for this return of winter we seem to be having ❄️
