Skidding in a bit late with this one! I couldn't think what I'd made scrappy this month. Then I looked at the thing I was stitching in my hands. Yes, got to love menopause. My little mini quilt hanger is bare so I'd thought I'd like to perhaps make some seasonal mini, embroidered quilts for… Continue reading ScrapHappy April ’24

Another big catch up post I'm afraid. All a bit of mish mash whirlwind as I've no idea where the time goes! Picking up from the last post I went to stay with Elsa and the Grands for a long weekend which was such fun. I even squeezed in a visit to a yarn shop… Continue reading Brace Yourself

We have some huge… Continue reading On to November!
