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...

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...

Quilt Now Issue 48 – Passport & Travel Document Wallet

by Katy Cameron | 06.04.2018 | My Makes, Other Makes, Publications, Quilt Now Magazine

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...

Quilt Now Issue 46 – To Do Blackboard

by Katy Cameron | 02.02.2018 | My Makes, Other Makes, Publications, Quilt Now Magazine

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!...

Twas rather overcast here today, although thankful Twas rather overcast here today, although thankfully the promised rain elected not to show up. After a couple of 'big' days we chose to stay in the cottage and read this morning before popping over to Port Isaac in the afternoon. We hoofed down a big hill, then up another big hill to get the first two shots (not sure we'd want to live in those houses on the far side with the holey cliff underneath though 😱) and had an ice cream reward at the bottom, sitting on the slipway. Then we hiked all the way back up to the carpark again, so 'only' 4 miles walked and 40 flights of stairs (equivalent) climbed today on our relaxing day off 😂 #jackdoesportisaac #jackdoescornwall
In the vertical shots from today, somebody insiste In the vertical shots from today, somebody insisted we had ice-cream for lunch from the last cafe before we dropped off the end of the world in solidarity with the bears in the window. So here is somebody with his mint choc chip ice-cream in front of the pointy bit. There's a few more from St Michael's Mount too, including some very weird footprints - can you imagine finding shoes for that pair? #jackdoeslandsend #jackdoesstmichaelsmount #jackdoesmarazion #jackdoescornwall
We went to the end of the world today! Well, we w We went to the end of the world today! Well, we went to the end of the land we're still allowed to be on given current measures, but it's like the same thing, right? We toddled from the pointy bit round towards Sennan and found a shipwreck on the way (can you spot it?). We also found Jack his very own cottage, but he had his sights set a little higher on his very own castle on an island... We had a nice wander around the gardens of St Michael's Mount with @flipflopfabricshop (who took a sneaky afternoon off from cutting fabric) and lay on the grass and chatted a bit, then after we were kicked off the island for the night we watched a lot of idiots getting stuck on the causeway and getting very wet feet. We had fish and chips while waiting for a sunset that didn't happen, but we did see some ladies who had just successfully swum round the island #jackdoeslandsend #jackdoesstmichaelsmount #jackdoesmarazion #jackdoescornwall
Nice wee view from my bedroom window this morning! Nice wee view from my bedroom window this morning!
A mini tour through some of the places @flipflopfa A mini tour through some of the places @flipflopfabricshop and I went today: Chapel Porth beach (with very nice and helpful @nationaltrust carpark attendant) St Agnes, which had a very colourfully decorated Miners and Mechanics Institute (for no apparent reason) and finally Perranporth beach, which was actually pretty busy, but everyone was nicely socially distanced #jackdoeschapelporthbeach #jackdoesstagnes #jackdoesperranporth #jackdoescornwall
Hands up all who guessed that this was where Satur Hands up all who guessed that this was where Saturday's secret sewing was going! With the whole having my work laptop at home thing going on these days, I needed another laptop bag, and when I noticed the roll of 5 different colours of this home dec weight fabric that I'd picked up in Austria 3 years ago I suddenly wanted to use them all (because why not? The back, which you can't see, is a dark pink like in the piping on the flap) Given that I was going bright, I just knew that one of @sewquirky 's patterns needed to find a home on the front, so enter #frankiethefrenchie who is made from my Alison Glass hoard, along with some Tula Pink bias binding that I made into piping cover, a couple of leather snaps from @rosegardenpatchwork and leather strapping from an eBay shop. The lining is a wide variety from my Echino stash, the pockets of which are a few pics back in my feed. . . . . . . . #bagmaking #bag #bags #sewing #sewcialist #lovesewing #lovebagmaking #isew #sewist #sewingblogger #bagblogger #blogger #aurifil #littlestthistlepattern

Sometimes you need to spoil yourself and break out Sometimes you need to spoil yourself and break out the good stuff when making things. I'm trying to get into the habit of using the stash and not just hiding it away, so this is part of the lining of a bag that will use lots of the good stuff (and will be quite bright...) . . . . . . . #bagmaking #bag #bags #sewing #sewcialist #lovesewing #lovebagmaking #isew #sewist #sewingblogger #bagblogger #blogger #aurifil #littlestthistlepattern

Thanks D, I needed a pick-me-up today 🤗 #quiltyfriendsarethebest
