Easy Baby Quilt Tutorial
Today we have the most exciting post!
As fabric lovers we adore patchwork quilts, we definitely appreciate the time and love in each stitch, each fold and of course the gift of a quilt is literally the most welcome and lovely thing ever! But what we also all know is that quilts take time and patience, and measuring, and remeasuring and to some it can be quite daunting. Sooooo today Judith at Just Jude Designs has created a pattern from... patchwork fabric! The pattern uses our Riley Blake Saltwater range of fabric and should not only be easier than a traditional patchwork quilt but much faster. Fabulously fast!
Ready, Set, Gift!

Great British Sewing Bee
Well they're back! Patrick and May have returned to run their critical eye over the work of amateur sewists. And just like Lauren did in the first series, Tamara is giving me serious style envy. I'm as interested to see what she is wearing as what she is making! Just look at this dress shes wearing in tonights episode. I mean seriously. I don't know if she made it, but judging by the rest of her outfits that she has made, I wouldn't be suprised if she did.
