BLACK FRIDAY SALE


2019 will go down in history as my slackest design year ever. I designed zero fabric ranges and only five patterns. 
It's ok, I'm not beating myself up. I do the real-job, I'm training Dewey and I designed a lot of pins.
All these patterns plus every other thing are currently on sale for Black Friday. You don't need a discount code-just click on the titles and BAM ! 







No promises for next year, it will be more of the same or totally different. I have no idea.
I hope 2019 has been a good one for you.

Elephant Sewing Caddy






A small but sturdy little elephant to hold your sewing stuffs. I desaigned this guy a while ago for a retreat, then life went wobbly so he waited patiently to be shown. 

It's Sunday, I've been cooking and tidying and doing general Sunday things.
I have some tiny but incredible pants to sew and some tea to drink.

My house smells very sweet and I should be totally relaxed because my 
best-ever-next-door-friend tipped a bottle of radox bath gel down the central heating vent !!!

(It's all fine and no damage is done - but hell it makes me laugh).

llama llama llama


I have been working away on this project for about half a lifetime but recently gave myself a good talking to and got it done.
I use the term 'done' loosely. No I haven't finished writing the pattern or drawing the diagrams and no it doesn't have a a name yet but apart from that it's done.
Any name suggestions ??

U is for Unicorn






U is for unicorn is all done and finished and her mane is curled and ready !!

I'm not sure why this design took so long , it seems obvious to me now, that she is exactly who she is! 
The glitter felt comes from My felt lady and there is a spectacular array of colours - Pop on over and check them out. There is also metallic felt which I have sitting in the sewing room just waiting for it's turn.


Here is where we stand with the alphabet animals : Ten done and I think I might know what is coming next but it won't be until next year. I am slowly gearing up for Australian Quilt Market at the end of November and hoping I might finish off one curly friend before then.
I am also having a teeny booth at AQM for my pins which is going to be loads of fun and a little bit nerve wracking (just how I like things). 


This quilt love pin is my new pin for October with another sassy one on the way a bit later. 
For now it's time to get out of the dressing gown and look at the to-do list and the mountain of dishes and get started for the day. Hope you are having a good one.

Pins and patterns all available in ye olde etsy store

Monster Mash





I will admit I am obsessed with stripey toys. They are just so cheery looking. This is my (almost) latest pattern. Three delightfully ridiculous monsters called Monster Mash. The pattern comes with facial variations, including the use of a jelly bead zip for the teeth. 
I really have had loads of fun playing with these guys. These would be an awesome beginner pattern or a pattern kids could work on. One of my pattern testers added a moustache and glasses to her monster !!
This pattern is in ye olde etsy shop.... 

I have just realised all the things I have neglected to tell you... I better come back tomorrow.
