Welcome!!

Hi, welcome to my new blog!! I'm so excited!

 I am a new quilter and blogger, driven to it by illness and have quickly become a little obsessed! I have cross-stitched for many years and always enjoyed crafty things. Everything I know is self taught through books and more recently through online tutorials. I have spent many hours trawling the internet for fabrics and watching tutorials, and I have learned that I am definitely better at learning by watching than by following a pattern. They seem to tie me in knots. There are so many fantastic blogs out there that can take you through projects step by step and in future posts I will share with you my favourites.

My ultimate dream is to be able to sew and create stuff full time and maybe have my own little fabric shop, so I can spread the joy with others. Although I live in a fairly big city in the South of England, there seems to be a severe lack of places to buy scrummy fabric without driving for an hour first, hence the need to spend many hours online searching. So I hope to share with you the places I have found (once I've sought their permission) so that you don't have to spend hours online and can just sew instead!

So please watch this space! I'm off to take some photo's of pretty things to share with you.
