Description

As the worldwide lockdown continued, finding a creative outlet became ever more important. So in a month that had 5 Fridays we had chosen a variety of projects and techniques. All can be mastered at home.

May’s Book of the Month was Fat Quarter Baby. Valerie Nesbitt told through the details of the fabulous Peyton Quilt from the book, which she felt get overlooked. You can find this video by clicking here.

Paula Doyle, brought us a very comprehensive guide to the art of hand-quilting. This video is available on our website, just click here. She also had a lovely new workshop called Homespun Harmony. This used lots of lovely fabric, was machine pieced and based on the traditional 9-patch, but who would have guessed. To enjoy this workshop just click here.

Our Technique Thursday video also featured Valerie as she showed us how to rescale your patchwork blocks, so that you could take a new look at a favourite pattern or block.
