Quilt Now Issue 38

Quilt Now Issue 38

by Katy Cameron | 30.06.2017 | My Makes, Other Makes, Publications, Quilt Now Magazine

Yay, I finally have my delivery issues sorted, and I’m rather glad to see these lovely Betz White Juxtaposey fabrics again in this sewing machine tidy I made for this month’s issue of Quilt Now.  I am ridiculously attracted to llamas at the moment, I...

Quilt Now Issue 37

by Katy Cameron | 19.06.2017 | Bag Makes, My Makes, Publications, Quilt Now Magazine

Sorry this one is so late, my copy of the magazine went on a little adventure!  Anyway, in this issue I came up with a handy summer staple, a swimming bag, made with laminated fabric.  This one has a handy zipped inner pocket for your locker money too. Other...

Quilt Now Issue 35

by Katy Cameron | 21.04.2017 | Bag Makes, My Makes, Publications, Quilt Now Magazine

The inspiration for this month’s Quilt Now creation came from the lovely Helen, who sent me the idea rather a long time ago and probably thought I’d forgotten all about it!  I was waiting for the perfect fabric combo and zips to fall into my line of...

Quilt Now Issue 34

by Katy Cameron | 24.03.2017 | Bag Makes, My Makes, Publications, Quilt Now Magazine

This month it was all about the bright colours in Quilt Now Issue 34, and I’m glad I was able to contribute a lovely bright pattern using BariJ canvas from her Mille Fleurs line, along with the new faux leather strapping and some hardware from U-Handbag: I might...

Quilt Now Issue 33

by Katy Cameron | 06.03.2017 | Bag Makes, My Makes, Publications, Quilt Now Magazine

Sorry this is a little late, but a big thank you to the ladies at Sew Simple at Lady Heyes Craft Centre in Frodsham, Cheshire for having a copy of Quilt Now 33 in stock when I couldn’t find it elsewhere!  Of course I picked up some fabric while I was there...

Quilt Now Issue 32

by Katy Cameron | 27.01.2017 | Bag Makes, My Makes, Other Makes, Publications, Quilt Now Magazine

Ah, it’s the issue before Valentine’s Day, so what was a girl to do but design a Valentine’s themed project (don’t worry, the rest of the issue is not filled with mushy stuff!)  Still, this was a fun idea I’d been batting around for...

The boathouse at Lago Di Braies. I first learned The boathouse at Lago Di Braies. I first learned of this place when I saw a photo in the feed of one of the National Geographic photographers that I follow, where one of his friends was diving off the end of the pier bit on the right into the glacial blue waters, and I knew I just had to go. I kept postponing my visit until the day that the weather was meant to be nice, the very last possible day of my trip and, well, it didn't really come through for me. I suppose I'll just have to go back another time! #lagodibraies #italy #migrationmonday #migrationmondaylt #travelphotography #canon7d #mycanon #canonuk
Last weekend was all about post-holiday adulting, Last weekend was all about post-holiday adulting, but this weekend I'm going to play a bit, starting with looking over my haul from @flipflopfabricshop Slide 1 is the quilting cotton from yardage to scrap packs via a rummage through the offcut bin (it is clearly a sign of the times that we found ourselves scrap sorting going 'this would make a good autumn mask, and this would make a good Christmas mask...' 🤦) Slide 2 is the fabulous linen collection from Sevenberry and Essex Linen from Robert Kaufman. Finally, a tote bag from the Tate at St Ives with the colours of St Ives which might inspire a thing (no idea what thing that might be mind you!) Now I just need to find the urge to make a thing...
Phew, I've been busy putting everything away after Phew, I've been busy putting everything away after my holiday, and I got to Jack's new friends Blue and Arthur (you know, because he's 'alfer size of Blue). In the competition of dragons training their knights, it definitely feels like Blue has a better grip on things, but George says, in his defence, that it's not his fault that he's a German dragon trying to train a French knight, so there's a language barrier. George does, indeed, look a tad more worried in picture 2... #georgeandlancelittle #blueandarthur

The last hurrah before home time. Champagne or gi The last hurrah before home time. Champagne or gin, what's a bear to do? (Both). I was a wee bit worried that this wee dod of bread was all there was for dinner, but then a nice ham hock terrine with pickled vegetables and red onion chutney turned up, followed by wild mushroom wellington with roasted baby onions and baby beetroots, roast tatties and cauliflower cheese, rounded off with lemon posset topped with blackberries and raspberries with a raspberry gin *belch*
Huh, LT's finally got the hang of this cake thing Huh, LT's finally got the hang of this cake thing as we head north again! BTW, we were asked if we wanted sugar with that hot chocolate... 😱 #jackdoesstendellion #jackdoescornwall
Now which one was the front door key again?! The v Now which one was the front door key again?! The vertical shots from yesterday's outing to @nttrericehouse including an alternative shot of the ceiling in the big hall, some amazing embroidered curtains, some distinctly Heather Ross-esque bathroom wallpaper, a nice view out to some autumn foliage, my best example of "Does a bear sit in the woods?" And finally cake, glorious cake, my very first bit all holiday! #jackdoestrerice #jackdoescornwall
Had a lovely morning at @nttrericehouse yesterday Had a lovely morning at @nttrericehouse yesterday before the heavens opened and we scurried off to @lewinnicklodge for a lovely late lunch. Trerice House is on the smaller side of National Trust mansions, but it has fabulous, intricate ceilings, knights can drop by and leave their heads for a nap, and the gardens were nice. We would have raided the vegetable garden for leeks and chard, but the gardener was close by! Can you guess which was my glass for lunch? I offset it with a tofu salad (and sweet potato fries, but everything in life can't be healthy!) #jackdoestrerice #jackdoescornwall
From Rock Beach Padstow seemed so near and yet so From Rock Beach Padstow seemed so near and yet so far, so we hopped in the car and drove round 😁. It was all gloomy on that side of the water, but there were some nice wee boats in the harbour - see if you can spot the man taking his footballs out to sea and the Skegness lifeboat. The Alms Houses made LT's little symmetrical architecture loving heart sing, while my heart sang when my friend @flipflopfabricshop came by and bought me ice-cream... (Possibly also when we went into @tarquinsgin shop, but no photos of that *hic*) #jackdoesrockbeach #jackdoespadstow #jackdoescornwall
