Quilt Now Issue 49 – Travel Eye Mask & Neck Pillow

Quilt Now Issue 49 – Travel Eye Mask & Neck Pillow

by Katy Cameron | 04.05.2018 | My Makes, Other Makes, Publications, Quilt Now Magazine

I have to admit that my eyes are spinning a bit with the quilt on the cover this month, but isn’t it a cool pattern?  I keep seeing secondary patterns in there too. I continued my travel themed projects this month with an eye mask and neck pillow made from the...

Sew Now Issue 19 – Kids’ Wash Set

by Katy Cameron | 13.04.2018 | Bag Makes, My Makes, Other Makes, Other Publications, Publications

Wow, I was lucky enough to be a cover girl twice this month!  I also ran up a little travel wash set for kids for Sew Now magazine, and a couple of the items made it to the front page: First there’s a fun towel wrap – I made this a cat one, but you could...

I’m a cover girl this month!  This was the last month of original editor Katy Jones producing the magazine, 4 year’s worth of publications in which she was nice enough to publish me in all but 4 issues.  She’s been the most flexible editor ever (I...

It’s that time of the month again when Quilt Now is dropping onto people’s doormats and hitting the shelves in the newsagents and supermarkets.  I have to admit to being a bit thrown about what to do at this time of year, but my co-contributors have nailed...

Quilt Now Issue 45 – Heart Cushion

by Katy Cameron | 12.01.2018 | My Makes, Other Makes, Publications, Quilt Now Magazine

I’m all over the place with dates right now, having only just gone back to work yesterday, but one date that I didn’t forget when I was planning for this issue was Valentine’s Day, and I thought I’d give you a month to get your decorating done!...

From a shopping point of view it held little interest for me, but from an architectural point of view it fascinated me!​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #myziel #frankfurt #germany #migrationmonday #migrationmondaylt #travelphotography #canon7d #mycanon #canonuk

For me, this picture encapsulates cause and effect For me, this picture encapsulates cause and effect for global warming, an Easy Jet flight taking off from Geneva Airport on a very warm, sunny, early February day as it flies over the OMM/WMO building (the World Meteorological Organisation) At the start of 2020 there hadn't been anywhere near the usual snow levels in the area, which was clear both as you flew in/out, as well as talking to the locals. Whilst the pandemic that arrived very shortly after this severely curtailed world and even local travel, I'm sure the planet heaved a huge sigh of relief.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #geneva #switzerland #migrationmonday #migrationmondaylt #travelphotography #canon7d #mycanon #canonuk
This was my view at this time yesterday when I bro This was my view at this time yesterday when I broke down at the M74/M77 merge (big thanks to the fully loaded car transporter lorry who drove a foot from my back bumper while leaning on the horn as I discovered I couldn't get above 28 mph, really, it was a big help 🙄) As there's no hard shoulder at the point I discovered this, I limped the mile or so to this first bit of hard shoulder on at the start of the elevated section of the M74. Huge thanks to the RAC who left me standing there for over 3 hours waiting for a tow truck in 60+ mph winds at a point higher than the Kingston Bridge (below and behind me on the M8) with live lane traffic right next to me and a 50+ ft drop behind the concrete wall I had to stand next to. I only phoned you 3 times saying just how terrified I was after 3 lorries nearly took me out (let's not go into the subsequent lorries and of course all the vans and cars playing junction chicken over the chevrons and hard shoulder just behind me). The absolute disinterest of your last call handler was evident. Big thanks also to the highways guys that came up minutes after I broke down, stuck 3 cones behind me, and buggered off again and to the numerous police Scotland vehicles that drove by without batting an eyelid, really, it was so appreciated, especially when I found out from the guy who eventually turned up to get me that there had been a 3 car accident exactly where I was standing only the day before. Genuine thanks to the 911 Rescue driver who let me thaw out in his lorry, dropped the car at the garage and took me home, I hope you enjoy your retirement from Friday!
