Hi there and a very happy new year to you. I hope that your Christmas break was a relaxing one. Possibly time to stop saying ‘happy new year” but I kind of like it.

I also really struggle to take down my Christmas tree at home. I just love it and it’s only up for such a short time. So, it’s still …

Good morning ladies, here we are at Week 32 for the Sew A Long. This week we are making the Berry Burst block.

Four our 12” blue block we have used four

Hi there, how has your week been going ? My apologies for the two day delay in getting this block up on the blog for you. Somehow my week has got away on me and here we are at Friday already. Christmas plans, end of year shop plans etc etc etc.

Have you ticked off all your Christmas to do list yet? I have made a good solid start but

Good morning and welcome back to our Sew A Long for 2020.

This week we are making the Broken Dishes block. A very traditional block but this one is made slightly differently. I love it when I see another way of making something - even better is that it works so well too!

I saw this block on

Hi there and welcome back to our next block for the Sew A Long 2020.

This week we are making a block all about flying geese. We have made a flying geese block back in Week Nine with Circling Geese. For that block we used the method of making four matching blocks at the same time out of one square. This time we are going to be making our block

Good morning, hope you are all well. Wow, we have had some serious rain here the last couple of days. I live at Maraekakaho and we are all okay and not too flooded. Thinking of everyone in Napier though and really hoping that the rain eases up today. Watching the news this morning - wow, what a lot of damage done to some homes and neighbourhoods.

Okay, this week we have the Bear Paw Block. Oh my goodness, I am loving our

Wow, here we are at Week 26 - half way through our Sew Along for 2020. It has flown by! How are you doing with your blocks?

Don’t worry if you are a wee bit behind, they will be up on our blog for a long time.

This week we are making the Shoo Fly Block. It does look quite a bit like …

This week we are making a more traditional block - Jacobs Ladder Block. A combination of half square triangles and four patch. In our two blocks, I have changed the placement of the fabrics in the 12” block compared to the 6”. In the 12” block - blue version - I have made the squares that go diagonally the same fabric as the I have used for the half square triangles.

I love that with a small tweak you can change -

Hi ladies, here we are at Week 24 for our Sew A Long - the Magic Triangle. I’m not so sure how the name of this block came about but it’s a lovely combination of pinwheels.

You will have already made and be expert at half square triangles. This block the half square triangles are made from a couple of combinations. All the info is in ….

I am getting all packed up and ready to head off to our Quilt Retreat Weekend, starting tonight. I’ll be posting loads of photos on all the marvellous projects that everyone is making. Kind of have sewing envy too when I see whats being made haha.

Here we are with this weeks block - Week 23 already. We are nearly half way through already. This week we have a variation on a Log Cabin block. We have actually made a Log Cabin Block back in

Good morning, how are you doing today?

I have been on holiday for the last 10 days - yes I counted them - and when I say holiday I mean hanging out at home. I am so lucky to live on a beautiful property so holidaying at home is a lovely thing to me. Lots of thinking about all the things I could/should do and even getting some of them done. An unfortunate interruption

Hi there ladies, how has your week been? To be honest, it’s been a bit of a tough week for me. One of the highlights - among many - of my year are the quilt tours that we do. This week we should have been just leaving Vermont, with the stunning autumn colours and heading to

Hope your week has gone well. So happy that we are now at Level 1 and thinking of you all in Auckland and hoping that you are with us at Level 1 really soon.

This weeks block is the Prairie Queen with a combination of half square triangle and four patch units. I have placed …

Huge apologies no block for last week. Dear goodness, having technical issues with my computer is enough to send me. I had to finally admit defeat and get some help for it. So, all sorted now and we have just pretended that last week didn’t happen haha.

This weeks block is another favourite of mine and we call it the Criss

Okay, this week we are making the Disappearing Four Patch. Kind of carrying on the theme of last weeks block and a similar method but makes quite a different block. Who knew that you can get this block from

Here we are at Week 17 and our block for this week is the Disappearing Nine Patch.

I love a block that looks like you have done more work than you actually have - no sewing little squares in this block. It all happens in the making of a simple nine patch block.

Hi ladies,

This week we are making the Triple Rail block and making four in each size block - 6” or 12”.

A nice easy to piece block - no half square triangles and only one seam to butt in the middle of the block.

All depending on where you have placed your colours, you can twist and turn

Hi there ladies

Oh my goodness !!!!!!! We have been making mask kits and they are flying out the door. I am so thankful for my fantastic ladies that work with. A huge thank you as well for everyone that has come by the shop to get their kits. If you have to wear a mask then it might as well be a pretty fabric.

My intention last week was to put these up on our website but …
