As I pen this from the comfort of my own home, the windows are open, the sun is shining and the birds outside are chirping. Summer is in full flow so naturally I’m writing about… Christmas!

How did you first get into quilting? I started quilting in 2019, when I picked up Laura Preston’s book, Simple Geometric Quilting. I made her Antelope Canyon Throw over the holidays. I’d been garment sewing for years, but this throw was my very first quilt! I kept going, making a few more of the projects from the book, and trying some Suzy Quilts and Then Came June patterns, before I finally branched off into creating my own. What’s your favourite thing about quilting? Playing with fabric! Quilting allows me to approach shape, colour and texture in a really playful way. I am always looking to try out new colour palettes, prints and fibers in the quilts that I make. What’s on your quilty playlist? I’m usually listening to something folk-y…

Raise your hand if you love your stash! Of course you do. A healthy sewing stash is essential to a thriving, creative, quilting practice. But sometimes, our stashes get so big that they can become… overwhelming. That’s when it’s time to shop your stash for your next project, rather than heading to the fabric store. And what better time to do so than the most wonderful time of the year? I know what you might be thinking – it would take a ho-ho-holiday miracle for me to sew only from my stash this holiday season. But I promise, it’s easier than you think! Sure, there’s adorable new holiday fabrics calling your name, but guess what? There’s probably amazing holiday fabrics sitting in your stash right now that you already bought!…

HOW TO DO FPP For this tutorial, Kate is using a bow template, but you can use the same process to piece any FPP template. You will need three templates for the bow design, Sections A, B and C. We will start with the centre panel (Section A) as it is the easiest so you can learn the technique. You will then make the two side pieces (Sections B and C). PREPARING THE PIECES 1 Using the templates as a guide, cut the fabric pieces for each section of the FPP template, making sure the pieces will be at least ¼in larger than the section they will cover, all the way round.

Everyone in my family has received at least one quilt from me, so this year I’ve decided it’s high time to up my quilted-gift-giving game with some handmadegiftsthat aren’t quilts.Whether the recipient is always up for a good laugh, needs to kick their feet up or loves any reason to count down to something, I’ve got something for everyone! 1 FOR THE HOST/HOSTESS The holidays are one of those few times when I invariably run out of pot holders and trivets and all those kitchen odds and ends. Why not 'save the day' and make some pot holders as a gift for a keen host/hostess? And if you really like the host/ hostess, you can always add in some matching rolled hem napkins or some teatowels with matching binding. 2…
