A fab day with the ladies from Sidmouth Fabrics who are on retreat in Boscastle…. thank you for having me.
Here’s a sample of photos from a wonderful day.
If you would like me to come teach at your group meeting/retreat/workshop then please get in touch. I am travelling all over the country and abroad again this year so might be able to fit you in on my travels!!
Anybody wanting a new challenge for 2020??
If you’re reading this outside of our group, please feel free to request to join the group and take part. Go to Abbieanne’s Take 3 Challenge 2020: https://tinyurl.com/wwalcfk
1) I’ll randomly pick you a number, shape and colour for you to create a piece of patchwork
or
2) I’ll name you a traditional block for you to make (the challenge…..only a photo, no instructions how to make)
or
3) the name of a town or village, you need to research and make a piece of patchwork related to it in some way, shape or form
There’s no time limit to making as such, it should be a fun thing to do.
Any photos of completed items posted in this group before Dec will be in for a chance at a prize.
As we did for 2019, the winner will be chosen by my husband under the criteria of ‘I like that one!’

I’ve been busy making a traditional 9 patch quilt ready for your creative time over Christmas…… its a mystery, all blocks have a relevance to this time of year (tenuously on occasion, but they mean things to me!)
There’s full ‘how to’s’ with dimensions and diagrams for all blocks. The pattern can be purchased via UKQU website (the link below). It’s a total cost of £15, £5 from each purchase over the 12 days will be donated to MacMillan.
