A few purchases and a WIP!

In the last few months I haven't done a huge amount of sewing, but I have been shopping, as you do... these are a few of my favourite purchases :-)

 Love stitch - Graphic box of threads from Linda and Laura Kemshall (A huge congratulations to Laura who has recently given birth to a beautiful little girl)

 Some summersville from Lu Summers Also some washi, from Rashida Coleman-Hale and some others whose names escape me right now!

 Some lovely bright out of print fat quarters from Frumble a awesome, relatively new uk fabric shop, gorgeous, gorgeous fabrics, check them out!

 And a sew line fabric pen and refills, I've heard great things about these, using them to help speed up english paper piecing so I'm going to give it ago!

 A WIP!

And also, a work in progress, I seem to have stalled on this at the moment, but Im hoping to carry on once I set up my lovely new sewing machine!!!!!! (sorry crappy phone picture)

That's all for now! Kellye xxx

First Quilt Bee Block!

I recently joined a online quilt bee, through Anna of Quilting Along the Grain whom I met through twitter! She had been asking if anyone would like to join her in a quilt bee, and I jumped at the chance! I hadn't had the chance to do much, if any sewing/quilting etc since Rosie arrived so thought that it would be a great chance to make some new quilty friends and have some motivation and a reason to sew!

Anyway, Anna sent us the september block fabrics and posted the instructions up on the blog, which is here, and off we all go!

Cutting my strips to size and pinning them.

Sewn together.

The Finished block!

Anna's inspiration was a bookcase, she asked that we include one of our own fabrics to indicate our bookend, I used some amy butler (L-R Second to last) I really hope she likes it!

I'm back, again!!

Well, it seems that I have had a huge break from blogging, but with good reason, welcome to my blog my beautiful little girl Rosie, born 8th march 2012, 8.17pm via emergency c-section in shrewsbury hospital! 

 My baby girl has some problems with heart which will eventually require surgery, but she is thriving and happy and content and truly the most amazing and precious little treasure, I love her sooooo much, I honestly believe I was born to be a mummy :-D

Rosie is 6 months tomorrow and I just cant believe where the time has gone!
