I am so excited to be a part of this showcase. Is a dear friend of mine, and I remember emailing back and forth when her book was just in the most beginning stage. What a joy it is for me to see it come to life. Jemima is such a talented and kind person, and her warmth is translated perfectly in her debut book, Weekend Quilting. Released by Fons and Porter. The abundance of approachable and fun projects made picking only one very tough! Be sure to check out each stop on the showcase! Mon 5.

The showbags are all gone but the memories of the wonderful quilts will stay with me all year. A big thank-you to all the quilt makers and to the volunteers who judge, hang and look after the quilts. Probably because it is so organic and bright and full of movement.

Now that all my larger Hexes are finished it is time to get well and truly stuck into the smaller sized Hexes for this Smitten Quilt. One of the questions I have been asked about my hand sewing is What type of stitch and what equipment for stitching are you using. When I went earlier this year and picked all the fabrics for this project from Amitie Textiles. Thursday, August 6, 2015.

Where is the year going? It will be Christmas before you know it. On the other hand, life just seems to be moving waaaaay to quickly and it would be great to step out of the fast lane for a little while.
