Happy Friday!

Can you believe it’s Friday already! School holidays are under way and yes it’s still raining. Mind you I give thanks that we do not have the heat and wildfires in Europe & America. If you are doing a staycation there are so many lovely places to visit in the UK including our very own Swansea and The Gower. The Gower Show is on Sunday 6th August from 9-5 and is a brilliant day out for all the family. Claire and I are off to The Festival of Quilts held in the NEC. It is an amazing show full of quilts from vintage to contemporary, mini to giant. They are a feast for the eye. As a lot of you might know we love quilting and for me it is a form of art.

My first big quilt…it brings me so much joy

What a lovely photo from BBC News

Asmaa was amazing throughout but all the contestants were great…will miss my Wednesday night fix

Did anyone watch the Great British Sewing Bee Final on Wednesday night? It was great. Did you think the right person won? Loved them all but I thought that Asmaa was a worthy winner. Her dress at the end was pure genius. I already can’t wait for the next series. Have a lovely weekend and I will catch up with you next Friday.

Our latest commission.

Love the colours that the lovely Carole chose.

Sewing Machine Joy!

Hooray! My sewing machine has been fixed! Thank You Cliffords in Swansea.

Have spent the morning cutting out ready for some sewing. Watch this space for some more Japanese Knot Bags - my favourite sewing make!

Also working on an idea for Christmas gift sets…..
