A quick way of decorating and personalizing note books, boxes or anything else you might think of is using Adhesive fabric glue paper and tape. It’s lovely to give simple items a more luxurious fabric feel.

When meeting with our lovely customers a few weeks ago we discovered that some of them did not know about the fabric glue pen that is a must when paper piecing. We would certainly struggle if trying to paper piece or do paper appliqué without it, so here is a reminder of how easy it is to use.
Paper piecing is such a fun process but tacking the seam allowance around the edge of a paper shape can be time-consuming and fiddly. However, with our handy glue pen you just apply glue along the edge of the pre-cut paper pieces and press the seam allowance around the edge.
By the time your project is sewn together the glue will have dried and you can simply remove the paper pieces.
You will find detailed instructions in the paper piece packages.
The photographs here show red and pink paper-pieced balls in the making. So grab your glue pen and have a great day!

This gorgeous quilt in a deep red, blue and cream colourway has a celebration feel, with rows of pretty bunting-style patchwork ‘hung’ on narrow strips of pale print sashing. The triangle patches are easily created with a template and the triangle rows are easy to sew.
Her is the free pattern and explanation written and illustrated by the talented Linda Clements.

Our rustic country inspired red and blue summer collection “Candy Bloom” arrives in stores this week.
Picture a summer evening on a rustic porch or a barn dance, homemade pie, fresh berries and whipped crème.
These images was the inspiration for The Candy Bloom collection.
The classic darker reds and blues reminds us of childhood summers in the countryside. The fabrics with small folklore inspired flower motives are perfect for rustic porch quilts and large pillows.
The pattern for the flag garland quilt called “The Candy Bloom Quilt” will soon be released on the blog as a free pattern.
The pillow top is made with 36 – 4,5 in squares (seem allowance included).
