Patchwork Alley: August 2015
http://patchworkalley.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Monday, 10 August 2015. Im a Mad Hatter . A little while ago I came across this pattern for a reversible bucket hat. From Liesl at Oliver S. I think it came from her book Little Things To Sew originally but is now available as a downloadable PDF. At first I thought I would just make 2, for my friend Emma's two young boys, but I found I couldn't stop once I started! I've made loads now and I'm really pleased with how easily they come together! Have fun and let me know how you get on . I'm including th...

How could I feel fed up after a cuddle like that! So Belinda rang and off we went to the meadows. Which is now a lake! I cannot believe we went from this last week. I will leave you with a photo of Marley playing his f...

Mr Foxy and his family visit every night and wee and poo in my porch, I am aware that it doesn't help that the empty cat bowls are out there but seriously I have other things to think about of a night than bringing in the cat bowls! They also like to poo every time there is a bath mat on the bathroom or en-suite floor! Busta do...

Amazingly we've both been doing similar things this month, including Elsa dresses. Basically, you are trying to complete at least one project a month . hence the title. No pressure but lots of fun and links to other crafty bods and blogs! It's being hosted by Kris of Tag Along Teddies. And Peg of Happy in Quilting. It's been a busy month:. Nick's had surgery and is now recovering well.

Anyway Flash is a moody old bitch and not in the female dog sense of the word! I decided it migh...

http://patchworkalley.blogspot.com/2015/01/im-queen-bee-again.html
Wednesday, 28 January 2015. I'm Queen Bee again! Believe it or not, I am Queen Bee for both January (the Modern Bee Instabee) and for February as part of the Little Blogs Quilt Bee. For February I have asked Jacquelynne Steves of The Art of Home. If I can use her #SewSweetSimplicity blocks as the basis for my choice for the LBQB. So I would like me LBQB buddies to make me a block from this set of blocks, with white as a background fabric. Each of the blocks requires 4 colours in various shapes configurat...

Sunday, 9 February 2014. A Quilting Bee challenge. After some time looking at amazing photos on Instagram and following my heart through delightful blog links I came across Lou at I'm Studio Lou.

Nessa at Nessa's Place.

Patchwork Alley: March 2013
http://patchworkalley.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 19 March 2013. An assortment of projects. I suppose this blog is more of an opportunity to share a few photos with family and friends than anything else, although I'm also hoping it will give me the incentive to finish a few of my projects! I made this cushion cover from a pattern by Kellie Wolfson, you can see her fabulous post about her pattern at Don't Look Now! I bought some wonderful striped fabrics (I just love stripes) and these oven mitts are one of the things I made with some Riley Blak...
