Fabric Friday – A Foundation Paper Pieced Sew-Along
Hello and welcome to another Fabric Friday. This week I thought that I would try something different and see if anyone would like to take part in a sort of a sew-along with me.

Fabric Friday – Fat Quarter Fun – Part 3 (The One Where My Brain Went For A Coffee Break)
In a couple of previous posts I have been detailing a few projects that I started using some pretty Fat Quarters that I had picked up at the local market.
I am pleased to say that I have most of the things now finished (but not in the way that I had expected).
Fabric Friday – Fat Quarter Fun – Part 2
Last week I highlighted a few projects that I started using some pretty Fat Quarters that I had picked up at the local market.
My intention was that I would have all of the projects finished this week and that this post would show the triumphant results!
Fabric Friday – Fat Quarter Fun – Part 1
What was meant to be a quiet week has turned into a doozy, and on top of that my head has been particularly random when it comes to making things.
That has meant that this week’s Fabric Friday will therefore be more like Part 1 of a 2 Part special as I didn’t get a single thing finished! :)
Fabric Friday – Who Wants A Free Tote Bag?
***The Draw Is Now Closed***
Just a quickie as I’ve not had time to make a tutorial this week however given the response to the tote bag tutorial the other week I have decided to do a little blog candy giveaway type draw to win the two bags that I made in the tutorial.
