A productive day!

More beautiful sunshine today!  Yay!

Yesterday's batch sewing was all about Ipad covers!

A while ago I had fun using these self covered buttons from Fabric Yard! I find them so much easier to use than the metal ones with teeth!!

I think they add just the right final touches to these simple covers.

And we were productive in Bee Blessed today too!

We love getting all your blocks each month, and so enjoy laying them out and putting them together into gorgeous quilts!  I know it takes a while to see your blocks made up into quilts, so thank you for your patience.

Have a brilliant weekend!

Keep it Covered!

If you're not too bored hearing about my Gifts 'One in One' course starting in November, here is another instalment!

Ipad, mini Ipad and Kindle covers:

Obviously during the course you will only have 1 night to spend on these, so you will choose one cover to make.  However the pattern provided will give you the measurements for all 3 covers.

I know I'm not alone when looking for any excuse to make a pretty quilted pouch to cover or house something!  So I'm hoping folks will enjoy making these for themselves and others!

Fabric Yard Treats!

Fabric Yard are having a one-day Pop Up shop today at McLaughlin's Coffee Shop, Portstewart!

If you got a chance to meet Alice at retreat, you will know what a warm and lovely person she is, and probably got to see a little of her gorgeous fabrics at the Quilt Market on the Saturday evening.

Her full range of fabrics can be found here, and if you are ordering online, she only charges a flat rate of £1 shipping for UK customers.

I offered to make Alice some samples for her open day today, and it was such a pleasure to work with her sumptuous and top quality fabrics.
