Etsy shop coming soon!

Hello everyone!

I have some exciting news! Eve of Destruxion the Etsy shop is coming soon! Very soon in fact as at the launch I will be selling some Christmas decorations. Here's what some of them will look like!


They are about 4.5 inches big, not including the ribbon. I would love to hear your thoughts on them. Which one is your favourite?

I will also be offering customisable versions of this shape. Here are couple of pics of my proof of concept makes, I have some lovely  fabrics on order to offer my customers a choice of colours.



Again, I would love to know your thoughts. What colours or shapes would you like to see?

The next product I am going to be offering at launch is... memory cushions. I will be turning T-shirts and tops into cushions. The memory could be a life milestone, a child's first, a departed loved one or just the good times.

My sister entrusted me with a band T-shirt from a band she worked with and here is the resulting cushion!


I have lots to do to get everything ready, because I am planning to launch mid-October. It should be fun!

For more updates, you can like and follow the FB page, here.

Thanks for reading!

Finished! Sunflower Field Mini Quilt

Image
Hello Everybody! I actually finished a quilt! Only a miniature quilt. But it's finished, nonetheless. This is Sunflower Field. This is my entry into the Near To Nature mini quilt challenge organised by The Little House of Patchwork  in aid of the RSPB . For the challenge we were all sent a pin badge of a British bird or countryside animal, and we had to make a mini quilt inspired by and including the pin. I was sent this little greenfinch. A bit of Googling and image searching revealed greenfinches to be fond of eating sunflower seeds. I had also seen som lovely EPP sunflowers by Anne at Three Goobers . I did some sketches and decided to do a little field with sunflowers in three different sizes to create an illusion of depth. The maximum size for the challenge was 9x12 inches, so it was clear from the outset I was going to need some very small sunflowers indeed. I started with the largest size, based on a 0.75 inch hexie centre. I created templates for the petals

The 3rd Genevieve Awards: The Festival of Quilts 2023

 Hello everybody! The Festival of Quilts 2023 has been and gone and it has been one hell of an event! I spent two whole days there, I exhibited myself for the first time this year, I attended two workshops and a talk and I took a grand total of 1619 photos, which I have had to dump onto my laptop because my SD card and my phone storage have finally told me enough is enough with my photo habits and I near to clear some space. Me on the train on the way to the second day of the FOQ. So on to this year's Genevieve Awards! The Genevieve Awards are awards I give to the quilts on display at the Festival of Quilts. The only prize for them is the knowledge that I like your quilt. I make up the categories, I decide which quilts go in to the categories, I decide who wins. These are now the third Awards (you can also read the ones for 2022 and 2019) and the categories change depending on what quilts are at the show.  For the first year ever, I have decided that some quilts at the show are not

Finished Quilt: Hats Off To You

Image
 Hello everybody! This is a story of a quilt that I have not only completely finished, but am exhibiting at the Festival of Quilts in Birmingham! This story starts on 25 March, when my Maths Professor Dad posted an article on FB about some as yet unpublished research into the discovery of a new shape given the name of 'einstein hat'. The is the first shape discovered by mathematicians that can aperiodically tile a plane all by itself. It was instantly obvious to me from the picture in the link that this could be made as an English Paper Piecing quilt. In particular, the small subdivisions of the shape marked out are kites - the exact same shape I was using for last year's #focuscuttingsewalong - and I still have a ton of the papers left over. So straight away I taped together 8 of them to make myself an einstein hat template. I spent the next two days making more paper templates and starting to baste them. I had initially assumed that all the tiles were identical in every w
