It is a crossover between IWM and Liberty. Sold probably at the museums and online.

Good idea!

I think you might be amused to know that your new guitar has ended up all over the modern quilting feed.

Two quilt blocks.

The second block. I didn't find it any easier than the first though I knew where the problems were this time. #quilting #skyquilt #quiltsky

Patchwork in blue, red and white.

First of four, but this one is a bit dodgy so might do five and pick the best. Assuming they improved...The pattern is Dublin Steps from a 2021 edition of British Patchwork & Quilting magazines. #quilting #quiltsky #skyquilt

We’re delighted to announce the first workshops in our Work of Mending series, in partnership with The Quilters’ Guild. These hands-on, research-led workshops explore what hands do and what they mean in historical and contemporary handwork.

Yellow star Sashiko.

This was my first attempt at Sashiko. I got it for Christmas. Definitely struggled with neat, even stitches. They improved when I got brave enough to stitch a few at a time. Also, I doubled the thread but it is much better as single thread in the red one. #sashiko #quilting #quiltsky #skyquilt

Quality control. Very diligent.

Fast asleep on a dressing gown. 😆

Sashiko pattern printed cloth with red stitches.

Lily left me unsupervised and I actually managed to make some progress. This exactly the kind of thing she is trying to prevent. She will be furious! #quilting #quiltsky #skyquilt #sashiko

Stained glass stick quilt block in variety of pink batiks.

Big, pink stained-glass style block. It's about 13.5 inches. #quilting #quiltsky #skyquilt

Pink pieces of patchwork fabric.

Now to try a bigger one. #quiltsky #skyquilt #skyquilting #Quilting

Green stained glass look quilt block.

An attempt at a stained-glass style with batiks. I learned that I designed the individual pieces too small for a good colour to leading ratio. #skyquilts #quiltsky #skyquilting

Three footprints in the snow.

Three footprints in the snow.

We don't get much snow in Bedfordshire but we had a little bit this week. Here are two photos eight years apart, of my sons and my footprints. The one on the left March 2018 and the one on the right January 2026. Mine is the biggest in 2018 but the smallest in 2026.

Some absolutely top notch orange cattery here

Flock of long-tailed tits

Long-tailed tits.

Ah! Thank you. We don't have them here. I think they are beautiful though. My absolute favourite is a long-tailed tit. Very tiny and lively.

I know that a chickadee is a bluetit in the UK, but I don't know a titmouse is?
