Hello, Sew Cute Tuesdayers! It seems like half of us are freezing, and most of you who are freezing, are also covered in snow. And I’m not. Hmph, Japan weather, why did you let me down on the weekend?! If you gonna be this cold, why not snow too?! Anyhoo, these frozen fingers struggle to sew in this weather, that… Read More

No, that’s not an attention-grabbing click bait headline, it’s the truth. I have seriously gotten rid of at least 1/3 of my fabric stash, plus most of my notions/patterns/STUFF that also accumulates. You can see in this room tour video what it looked like late last year, all tidied and organised, and already a little bit destashed, but barely anything…. Read More
I rang in the New Year by doing an epic sort and clean out of my sewing room. When you move countries with pretty much only checked in baggage, every gram counts… and so far, the tally of what has been culled is over 11.4kgs. And that’s just what’s good enough to sell or giveaway, so the trash bag is… Read More

At last, I finished month 2’s blocks for my Farmer’s Wife 1930s Sampler Quilt! Thankfully month 3 was only a handful of blocks and a few weeks off, so I was able to catch up and am now up to date. But first, let’s round out month 2… Grandma I was originally thinking about rotary cutting and piecing Grandma, until… Read More
Today I have two blocks to share with you as a part of the Farmer’s Wife 1930s Sampler Quilt QAL! When I sat down and looked at these blocks, I could see why these blocks are being released together. They both involved the same basic nine-patch block structure, they both have four half-square triangles, and they both have economy squares… Read More
Hello hello! I’ve had a wonderful week, finishing off the winter holidays and getting back into school time routine. And also catching up on some sewing that’s not work related, yay! Another Farmer’s Wife quilt block ticked off the list… Meanwhile, I love the story behind Chrissie’s first quilt! And Patty’s quilt is promising to be absolutely stunning! Meanwhile, WOW… Read More

Second to squares, half square triangles aka HSTs are the most basic building blocks of patchwork. They can also be quite daunting, with points that get lost and fiddly trimming. But oh my dear, how rewarding it is when you conquer them! And that’s the aim of the Modern HST Sampler quilt along – enabling you to sew HSTs with… Read More
