If you’ve watched this channel for a while now, you will know that I am not very confident at making clothes - but I am having a lot of fun learning!It really is the support from my lovely Patrons that allows me to keep the sofa cushions plump and the plates of cake and pots of tea plentiful on The Lime Green Sofa and so for that I am very grateful!

Irish Chain - a Simple Quilt Block for Project Linus The Last Homely House 2023-06-11 | If you have watched the channel for a while, you will have heard me talk about my Mum and the vast numbers of quilts that she made in her lifetime.

So using a fat quarter bundle that had been sitting in a drawer for some time, and some leftover fabric of my Mum's, I made some Irish Chain quilts for Project Linus.
