Hatched and Patched

....from Spain to France!!

Yet another parcel, yet another book! This one I have been working on with Quiltmania over the last year, and it is finally here!!! When I say working on, I did the projects and instructions, and the team at Quiltmania did everything else such as page layout and photography.....it was a HUGE surprise when I opened the bag to see what they had done .... 

The cover.......and inside the book....

Some of my all-time favourite designs are in this book, along with some new designs.

Quiltmania do such gorgeous work with their books, so it was exciting to be asked to create a book with them. I am now planning on a trip to France (first time EVER to Europe) to promote the book in Nantes in April yayay!

If you would like to see more pics of the book, then you can visit the Quiltmania website.

Here are two more photos I took before sending the parcel away.....

Unfortunately I have no other photos to show you at this time, as I sent everything off SO quickly to France, and I didn't take any truly great photos (just ones taken too late at night....I guess you'll just have to get your hands on the book ;). By the way, it is written in two languages, English and French!

208 pages of FUN!!
Until next time

Time to Gossip in the Garden

I know it has been AGES since my last post, so yet again I must apologise for my blogging tardiness.

SO what has been happening since Christmas? Everything and nothing! I have been working hard writing instructions - so hard, I yet again had a computer melt-down, one major reason for the lack of post!! My family also ran away for a week at the beach which was brilliant, and straight after I had a stay in hospital with my son, just for a routine check-up  - can you believe it's been over a year since his brain surgery to try and rid him of epilepsy? Well, good news there - he looks like he almost has a clean bill of health and has had a huge reduction in medication, with a possibility of going medication-free in the future - the best result possible!

So now for the BIG REVEAL! Well, I'm guessing many of you have already seen the completed quilt as it was sent to some shops a week or so ago  -hopefully you will be able to find a pattern near you! 

I decided to go with an A4 format pattern, so larger than my usual patterns with PLENTY of instructions. I broke the instructions into nine parts (but all in the one pattern), so it could be used as a Block-of-the Month if anyone so wishes to, but without the expense of a full Block-of-the-Month pattern set. I am hoping this works for everyone.

I know shops are going to run this as a block-of-the-month program, and I am in the midst of working up kits and programs too. Hope you like it!

Until next time
