The sewing room is almost tidy (ish)
The shop is full
and the great green monster has been woken from it's slumber.
Finally, a footstool!

About Me
- Jodie
- Hi, I am Jodie Carleton. I started this blog in 2007 and somehow a tiny business grew from it. So now when I am not at my regular job I can be found happily making toys in my sewing room or swearing at the computer as I try and write the patterns. I am obsessed with foxes, pinnochio, Red Riding Hood and mechanical toys- actually pretty much any toys. Say Hi if you have time, feel free to email me with any questions you have, I'm always happy to procrastinate by answering emails.

I am new to your blog and can't work out why it has taken me so long. Your stuff is beautiful. Thank you for the eye candy and inspiration to put those knitting needles down and dust off the sewing machine.
I opened your blog just now and saw that green quilt... and my jaw literally dropped. I *adore* those colors. Thanks so much for sharing!
I love the green monster and all its great greeness!! Hip, Hip, Hooray for the green monster!
Green Monster indeed! I've always loved this quilt - can't wait to see it's continuing progress! x
i've been wondering what had become of this! good luck in wrestling that beast!
Good luck with the beastie Jodie!
I see nothing even remotely beastly.
Jodie, it's coming along beautifully! Continue on before you lose momentum. Green and white are so fresh!
seriously good.
green is good, in my view. Especially green and white which I think shows admirable restraint and taste. I always end up with garish green, blue and red type combos - even when I am trying to be tasteful.
Now I have a question... the safety pins, are they instead of pins? Do you baste as well? Am soon to quilt my first cot sized quilt and I have no idea. I suppose I should google that instead of pestering you ;)
Oh, I just love the green in that quilt! My personal favorite. And the linear quilitng is wonderful...
Stay Cozy, Carrie
The Great Green Monster (such a title needs capitals, don't you think?) looks not the least bit scary, but then I don't have to quilt it. Love the echo quilting by the way. I'm sure he will be much more cooperative now that he's had a good sleep...
It's a great feeling to have ones work area tidy and ready for more action. Have fun working on your quilt.

jodie, great to see the shop stocked...would love to purchase the tea set pattern could you give me a aussie dollar price and reply to me on this comment e-mail...as i need to pay with money order if this is cool by you...
I love it when the green and white quilt appears. Thre is just something about it that makes me smile and makes me want to start buying snippets of green fabric.
What gorgeous, happy colors!
Perfect Spring greens. Just lovely.
(Ha! The word verification came up "glume". Certainly not with that happy quilt!)
I'll have to make a purchase next payday. Lucy was sitting on my lap while I was looking at the shop and I clicked on the Kinder girls item and she said "there's Molly, how did she get in there"
Yay!!Hope you have some serious fun wrestling with it!!
It. Is. Aliiiiive!!!!!!!!!!!
Goodness, Gracious, Great, Green Gorgeousness!!!!!!
Love the quilting!

good luck taming the Great Green Beastie! I will be ordering stuff from your shop after we get back from visiting my parents in Idaho in less than two weeks time...i would badger you for a swap but I don't think anything I do is even remotely on par with your work.
I suppose I best go enjoy this beautiful British sunshine before it goes into hiding again.

I was wondering when the 'monster' would be awoken from its slumber.. I was thinking around the same time as my very lax project.. my poor quilt, quilted in May LAST YEAR is still waiting for its binding.. it did get moved today from the end of the dining table TO the sewing machine so tomorrow is lookin' good.. wish me luck petal!

I think it was on seeing that Beast for the first time that I first commented on your blog. I just love it - it's fabulous.
I'm off to get me some patterns right now!

I have a big red and white monster that looks pretty similar although your quilting lines are possibly the straightest I've ever seen. Do share your secret won't you?
I am so looking forward to finishing a few projects just for me now the madness has finished. Quilts are high on the priority list and that one of yours is just so gorgeous in its lovely green and white freshness.
I love the great green monster. :o)
I adore green and I very much adore the green monster. Let 'er rip!!!!!
Oh my goodness! This is gonna be something else! can't wait....
The Great Green Monster is Gorgeous!!
Cheers! Mary Ann
Sister I am sooo diggin on that quilt! Have w rockin good weekend~Smiles~Tam!
Oh boy...do you have your bottle of favourite (Medicinal of course) red at hand?
The green beast is looking more tame each time you bring it out! I love the crispness of white and green, it looks fabulous, so simple yet so effective!!!
love the green monster and especially the lines around the rextangles I think it is gorgeous.
I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product
I'd been hoping to see what had become of this gorgeous quilt. I like it!
Is there a 'something' under there? Those green remind me of the new spring leaves popping out around these here parts.
What a delightful blog you have....so glad I found you. Love your green and white quilt. But, most of all, love that you shared your torment in making the upholstery for the chair. I've only covered one chair, and swear never to do that again. (But, I too, love my chair)
It Lives! Good to see the beast arise again... like a good sci-fi flick, or is there such a thing?
Lovely greens and whites! Just beautiful!
Love, love, love the greens! And the quilting design is so perfect for all of those geometric fabrics!
Kimberly :)
I'm with Lucy & who ever else's comment I never read that loves the quilting ... I love the quilting!
Shoot! I missed a full shop! Will you have more dollie patterns available?
LOVE IT!!!
Loving the monster...well done...and big congrats on a tidy sewing room...do you hire out??
You had a lovely time with the shopping at S & C...WOW!!
Cheers, Tracey
Cool... love it..
Love, love, love the green monster. Great quilting. You got some amazing stuff, and your selvedges dress is fantastic!!!
