23.01.2022 More stars.. Ohio stars this time! Still eight pointed but so different in the construction. These will make perfect corners for my new ‘work in progress’ diamond quilt. . #starquiltsareamazing #somersetpatchwork #quilting #patchwork

22.01.2022 Do you like making the ‘elements’ or the blocks of a quilt? Or do you prefer piecing a top together? It’s 12 months today since I last flew home internationally and it’s taken a while to get the sewjo back, but I’m finally making some progress . #patchwork #quilting #somersetpatchwork... #sewjoisback See more

19.01.2022 Stars, stars and more stars! Did I tell you that one of my favourite things to stitch is stars? 6 or 8 pointed... I love them all the same #somersetpatchwork #starquiltsareamazing #yazziicraftbags

17.01.2022 Creative juices... I lost my sewjo for a few months there. Being encouraged to stay home for over 6 months I thought I would have loads of fun stitching all of those things I had not had time for. But in reality the creativity has not flowed as I had hoped. Today I’m quilting a new sampler, fresh fabrics and a fun layout! Here’s to a finish What are you finishing this week? #somersetpatchwork #sewjoreturns #marcusfabrics #whatsnext?

16.01.2022 More diamond cutting required today... I thought I had done the math right but maybe I didn’t This is why you purchase patterns ... because someone else has already made ‘those’ mistakes New pattern coming soon! #somersetpatchwork #andoverfabrics #newquiltcomingsoon

16.01.2022 Mass cutting some of my favourite reds today for another project that is running tight to deadlines... . Did you find last year was a bit of a non productive year? I did - and now I am trying to catch up ... big time . #somersetpatchwork #patchwork #iloveredfabric

16.01.2022 What do you do when you have looming deadlines and your recovering from the covid jab? Hmmm ... make pin cushions?

15.01.2022 My big outing this week (within 5 kilometres from home) was to the super market to get a much needed new ironing board! Do you like a soft or hard ironing board?

15.01.2022 Do you keep class samples? Whether you are a student or teacher? I think these pieces from my zoom class this week might become a doll quilt... What do you think? . #dollquiltswaptbns2020 #karenstyles #somethingnew

15.01.2022 Good start ... ?!? #dollquiltswaptbns2021

15.01.2022 On a roll now... lots of pinning with lots of sewing to follow! Let’s hope I have laid this out the same as it looks in my head . #quiltinthemaking #patchwork #quilting #somersetpatchwork

14.01.2022 Making a move toward finishing this little quilt I was working on during my quarantine back in March/April... who else is addicted to stars like I am? . #somersetpatchwork #somersetpatchworkdesigns #letsfinishthis #starquiltsareamazing

12.01.2022 Looking up close at one of my antique hexie quilts today I found that the quilt makers needle marks are still showing where she originally basted all of the 1/2 inch hexagons... can’t find thread but these pin pricks are delightful. I wonder if my quilts will still be admired and loved in 150+ years time! . #somersetpatchwork #antiquequilts #patchwork #hexies #hexagons

11.01.2022 Bindings! I have finally finished binding these two small iso quilts that were finished tops way back in April/May.

I love stripes for bindings ... do you??? . #somersetpatchwork #quilting #patchwork #staradayquilt #starquiltsareamazing

07.01.2022 Hello there fellow #dollquiltswaptbns2021 ... the day has come to put these scraps and odd bits into a quilt to share. I’m trying to keep in the spirit of doll quilts from our past and use the bits and pieces I have on hand. Let’s see if what I have in my head looks ok in action
