Small blog meet and another Patchwork Dreamer chat



Good morning blog land well here we are again another week has passed us by, where does the time go? Welcome if you are new to my blog I hope you enjoy my ramblings about all things patchwork and we can become blog friends :)  This week I have finally got some sewing done after the months spent on the computer.  This has been waiting for a sleeve on the back for a while, but now I have done it I am not going to hang it  because we have kittens who like to climb! I was going to put it over a sofa but that would be too much for them to resist, so I shall hang fire for a while in the hope that they will calm down a bit, fingers crossed.

I have also pulled this UFO out of hiding and plan to put stars around after the skinny border, then I'm not sure will have to see how it looks.  The back ground is a Kona solid called Lake one of 40 Kona solids on the web site www.Patchworkdreamer.co.uk This is my first attempt at a compass so please excuse the slight wonkyness!

As I am fairly new to blogging I thought I would join Lilysquilts small blog meet, have to be honest not really sure what I am doing on the techy side of things but here goes... Yep I have somehow managed to change the text below this link, can't seam to change it back hay ho!

And so this is what I have commited my self to do, should be fun linking up with like minded people.  Who is going to join me?
Next go and visit and get to know at least four other linked blogs - starting with the two above you in the linkys and the two below you. Visit those blogs, leave a comment, click to follow and visit that blog regularly over the next few weeks. Visit more if you have the time. And also visit back any new bloggers who come to visit you and get to know them and their blogs.
Always new stock coming in to www.patchworkdreamer.co.uk I am looking forward to this one coming in any day now.

Ideal for scouts and as a different "boys" fabric.  Think I am going to have to do something for my son with this one as he is a beaver (young scout) and they need a blanket for camping, so a quilt made out of this should be perfect. 
Sew thats it for me this week I'm off to check out the other small blogs on Lillysquilts, think I'll flick the kettle on first.

Good afternoon blog land and welcome to new and not so new readers.  As you will see I have a button! Eyes right, this is because I did a button swap with Maybush Studio Blog see her button now?  Clare has a fun blog with all sorts on there a lifestyle blog is I am sure is the correct wording.  Off course there is Patchwork with some very pretty quilts and also an adventure about to be started in the form of remodeling their home.  We built this house back in 1999 and so I am intrested to see how it all works out the plans look super. Now as you can see our remodeling of the fabric cupboard is almost complete just some hooks to put on the bi fold doors to hold the little nik nak things, on hold as Hubby has man flu and I dare not put the hooks in myself! The christmas monster is almost complete just hand sewing in the back of the binding.  Please excuse the cat you put a quilt down in this house and a cat lays claim!  Whilst I was machine quilting this another was sitting o

Happy New Year! I have started well my first row is complete for the row along patterns taken from Lori Holts lovely book find it here  http://beeinmybonnetco.blogspot.co.uk/  I have used the boarder from this cute little quilt. And added her Chubby Chevrons. And it looks like this! I have also made a label which I will ask everyone who adds a row to write their name on and I will stitch it all at the end. And I have started to finish these place mats, only two more to bind.  Lessons about not being mean with backing fabric have been learnt on these..... And healthy eating has started a little earlier than I intended as a further 7 pounds have landed on my hips over the Holidays :( so it is now more like 3 stone to loose.  No point moaning just stop eating all that yummy stuff and get on ith playing with yummy fabric instead.  News of Patchwork Dreamer, later in the week I will be looking at Christmas fabric for this year!  Mad but fun.  Take a look at my faceb

I am very excited and a little bit scared, but I am sure the fabulous coffee and cake in  Coby’s Coffee Shop  just across the car park will help! Lots of planning going on at the moment so watch this space for more news.
