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...

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...

I had hoped that the nice weather I had enjoyed on the rest of my holiday through Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany would follow me here so that I could capture the lovely colourful area around the Petite France area, but alas, this was not the best of days (in fact it started to rain not long after this!) Ah well, it's always nice to have an excuse to go back to a place.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #strasbourg #alsace #france #migrationmonday #migrationmondaylt #travelphotography #canon7d #mycanon #canonuk

Yesterday I showed you the lovely cushion I got fr Yesterday I showed you the lovely cushion I got from @canadianabroad in the #britbee swap, and today I'm showing you the one I made for @inspiredbyfelix who wanted something to go with her petrol blue sofa. In her inspiration mosaic she had included another @sewquirky pattern, so I saw that as an excuse to break out Cuddlee the Sloth. I used mostly Florida from Ruby Star Society, along with some of their Speckle basics and some cork with colourful flecks that I picked up at FOQ a couple of years ago. His glasses are a glitter vinyl, because why not? I piped the edges and did a lapped zip closure on the back. I also made a pencil case as an extra, but forgot to take photos 🤦🏻‍♀️ . . . . . . . #quilting #quilt #iquilt #sewing #sewcialist #lovesewing #lovequilting #isew #sewist #sewingblogger #quiltblogger #cuddleethesloth #sewquirkypatterns #rubystarsociety

This is the gorgeous Heather Ross laden cushion was made for me by the lovely @canadianabroad and she sent a whole load more wee squares to add to my HR collection/hoard. #swapgoodies #britbee #britbeeforever

New Post!!! Work In Progress Wednesday Whew, it’s been a wee while, eh? Over the summer I just ran out of things to share, partly due to some missing sewjo, and partly because the few things I was doing either couldn’t be shared because they were for a swap, or because they were just too big to get a photo. Oh, […] ... See MoreSee Less
