Live@Five 7th May 2026

Another Thursday....another tbt photo. I am still having these memories pop up on my Facebook from my travels with Hannah. This one was taken at the beautiful Lake Louise in Canada. We don't get snow where we live so it's hard to imagine living somewhere like this. We overheard one woman complaining that it wasn't all blue water like in the photos 🙄😂.
I will be back at 5pm on my page for this week's Live@Five. See you all soon.

My rubbish bin....or should I say bag....is full of bits and pieces from my recent sewing spree. I added to it this afternoon as it was too cold and wet to be in the garden. I may have also added some empty 🍫 wrappers 😂.
I have some bindings to stitch down tonight, and some prep work for another new project.

The new 'Little Ones' cot quilt is finished and on display in the shop. Kits are available not only for the quilt, but also the little bag which would make a perfect gift for a new baby. Just fill with baby related prospect and gift to a new arrival.
Hoping everyone had a great weekend. I am planning on spending the next couple of days back in the sewing room making a couple of new samples, doing a little gardening (weather permitting) and getting the May newsletter out to you all.

A busy day finishing off the cutting and packing of 3 more Raggy (flannel) Quilt kits. These precut kits are quick to make....just add your wadding squares. I have updated the website to include all seven options. There are plans to add more colourways with some of the other wonderful flannels that are in stock.
