A beautiful and subtle coloured quilt. I think this is so smart. #busybeespatchwork #classesinsouthwales

We have been asked where on the website the Boro wovens are so I have put a link below.
I have decided that I am going to make this wrap style dress, if I can ever decipher the Japanese pattern, its such a jumble of pieces its going to be a nightmare. Ann x

We’ve just finished our Beginners Patchwork sampler quilt workshop and we have some superb almost finished quilts. I am over the moon with these quilts, thank you ladies I had fun too Ann x

I had fun today teaching a workshop on Japanese Folded Patchwork. Eight ladies and one gentleman spent the day in the shop learning the technique and we did a little sashiko stitching to highlight the curved edges. Great fun Ann

And some more !!! #goodfunstitching #goodcompany #sewingforpleasure #busybeespatchworkcourses
