Finish Along Q4 Review

Well I'm pretty pleased with how productive Q4 was - while I in no way finished everything on my list, I did finish quite a lot, and I've started the year really motivated to finish more. So far I've got to 8th January with no new starts! That's an absolute miracle!

So my final finish to report here is the reindeer Christmas tree decoration I made for Joshua. It's made from felt and was self-drafted based on a lot of Pinterest images.


This was my 11th finish of the quarter. Here is a round-up of the others: Preppy the Whale


A Woppet Bucket


I finally finished off the Kittens Around blocks into 2 cushions



The Kinship batik quilt was finished - this surprised even me to be honest


Shark cushion - some epic foundation paper piecing


A Christmas decoration for Mia


And another for Jessica


The special pouch using the special fabric I cryptically mentioned on my original post: a marmalade pouch


And a pouch with the travel journal print and a Cathedral Window panel


And finally the Summer Sampler.


I also made some really good progress on a couple of other projects, especially Fancy Forest and the Tall Tales Quilt. I was a bit disappointed that I didn't get Joshua's advent calendar or Santa Sack finished for this Christmas, but it didn't matter in the end - the girls shared theirs with him when it was needed, and he's still a bit too little to notice. And in the post-Christmas sales I picked up a brilliant fabric to make Joshua's Santa Sack just a bit different from the girls. And even though these are Christmassy makes, I'm going to pop them on my Q1 Finish Along list for 2020 so there's no last minute rush next Christmas - don't laugh - it might happen!

You can find my original list here, and I'm linking up with the Finish Along

Did you hear there is a 12 word sentence you can say to your man... that will trigger deep emotions of love and instinctual attractiveness to you buried inside his chest?

That's because hidden in these 12 words is a "secret signal" that fuels a man's impulse to love, cherish and look after you with all his heart...

12 Words That Trigger A Man's Love Instinct

This impulse is so hardwired into a man's genetics that it will make him try harder than ever before to take care of you.

Matter of fact, fueling this mighty impulse is so binding to getting the best possible relationship with your man that once you send your man a "Secret Signal"...

...You will soon notice him open his heart and mind for you in such a way he's never expressed before and he'll perceive you as the one and only woman in the galaxy who has ever truly understood him.

365 Quilt Challenge 2016 [A finish]

I can't believe I've just typed that heading! When I made the block for January 1st 2016 I could not have imagined the journey this quilt would have taken me on. So make yourselves comfortable and grab a cup of tea, because this blog post may get lengthy! I'd seen the 365 Quilt Challenge on Facebook. I think every quilter on Facebook must have been aware of it. Loads of my friends had signed up and it kept popping up as a "Page you might like" thing. In the end, in November 2015, I joined the group, had a poke round. Decided it wasn't for me. One of the things that really put me off were the fabric requirements: you needed x amount of dark dark fabric, x amount of medium dark fabric, x amount of dark medium, medium, light medium, light, background.... I just couldn't get my head round those requirements. I'd looked at the mock ups on the wesbite and couldn't bring myself to pick a colour. I put it to the back of my mind. But I had obvious...

Tula Nova [A Finish]

I can't believe it's been nearly two years since an epic day out in Huddersfield with the amazing Tula Pink. That day at Simply Solids was pretty close to the best day ever: a morning lecture by Tula where we got to see some of her quilts - and the amazing quilting by Angela Walters - and then an afternoon workshop with her starting work on the Tula Nova pattern. The centre that I made that day became a cushion, but I redid my centre and kept going with a rainbow or stars around it to create my final Tula Nova. All of the print fabrics are Tula All Stars with Pompoms and Stripes. The solids are all Kona. This was my first real time working with Tula Pink fabrics. I'd long been a fan of her patterns, but not her fabric. After this day I was a convert. We won't discuss how much Tula fabric I now have, nor how many of my current WIPs are Tula WIPs! But this was the start. The medallion is all hand pieced using English Paper Piecing. I learned about fussy cutting to...

All the Little Finishes

 I've had a few recent finishes - mostly smaller pieces and mostly not on my list to finish this year (because I've only just started them!) - lots and lots of pouches! Here's a round up... Three pouches I made for the kids for our holiday - all are the Seamingly Sane Pouch pattern, but I used the pattern add-on to adjust the sizes and customised with some straps and in one case, a pocket. These three pouches are made for our work Yubikeys when we travel to protect them - it's a slightly adjusted Aneela Hooey pattern - the peas are an inside joke! I knew I had pea fabric for a reason! A couple more Seamingly Sane pouches - the smaller one was a birthday present for my Dad, and the floral one was for me to protect my diary when I travel. Seven pouches made entirely from my scraps to hold EPP pieces pre sewing! This is the Peekapouch pattern by Sweet Cinnamon Roses. This is the Not So Little Zippy Pouch by Fabric and Flowers. The pattern is a bit of a challenge, but this ...
