For the final design for May, we tackle about sectionalized 4-patch star block design.

It’s time to get our stitch on with this week’s Foundation Paper Piecing block.

Time to switch things up again so this month we are going to be focusing on 4-patch stars.

To spring us into April, we will be sewing together a snowdrop.

Today’s foundation paper piecing pattern is for a Crocus.

A good while ago I came across a neat little add-on for the Brother Scan N Cut and quite honestly forgot to add it to my collection of info about the machine – bad naughty me! Anyway, recently the company has changed hands and started increasing availability across the globe so I thought that it was the perfect time to share – although you’ve probably heard of it already by now.

A few weeks ago I received the Zoom Engraving tool as a gift and have been having a little tinker to see what I could do with it and whether it works well with the Scan N Cut.

Come see what conclusions I came too … oh, and I will try and answer a bunch of questions as I write this post.
