You kow how much I love Martingale and their books..
Well, here is a little look at the March releases (yes I know it's April but..)
Civil War Leagcies by Carol Hopkins.
I have Carol's first book and this one is just as good! I do love a good repro fabric and a scrappy quilt and this book shows them off fabulously! Most definitely on my to do list!
Sew Pratical is a great book for all those quirky projects you didn't know you had to make!! I definitely need the sewing machine cover….
You Can Quilt It. this book by Deborah Poole is a must if you would like to demystify machine quilting….I can only say one thing…gorgeous! I could certainly learn lots from this amazing lady!
and lastly but by no means least….Sweet and Simple Sewing by Jess, Carrie and Lauren Jung. Just a simple pretty book with simple pretty projects! I am going to make some of the zippered bags….just because you can't have too many and they are so sweet!
I hope you like all these books, I certainly do and as they are from Martingale they are just fabulous, with lots of step by step photos and diagrams and of course the MOST gorgeous photos.

You can view more projects from the books here at the Martingale website..
Have a great weekend

Well I am back from the most wonderful adventure on The Voyager of the Seas with Needlework Tours and Cruises.
The cruise was amazing and I had the most delightful girls in my classes. We all enjoyed stitching away, learning new techniques and making new friends!

The time has come!! After waiting a whole year and more I am finally off to teach on The Voyager of the Seas with a heap of other wonderful tutors. We will be joined by lots of ladies who are coming along with us.
We will set sail to New Zealand for two weeks…stitching bliss!!!
There will be limited support in the office (hubby) so please be patient!! I also will not have any internet for two weeks (oh dear!) but I will try to get wifi when we are in port!
And if you couldnt make it on the cruise, maybe you would like to join my friend Kari on a trip to Europe! Here are the details…
She is fun (and is the one responsible for me meeting the girls at Martingale!!) and it would be the trip of a lifetime! You can read her website here.
Ill be back soon!
