Hello friends, I hope you are all well. Today I am going to tell you about my seasonal sampler mini quilt. I've been making this lovely quilt for a few months and it's finally finished. I loved combining EPP, appliqué and embroidery, it was so fun and relaxing to make. Each of the blocks represents one of the seasons of the year and conjures up lots of lovely imagery of nature for me. I decided to make this a free pattern but I've decided to release it in parts over the next few weeks. Rather than written instructions, there will be video tutorials and guidance along with downloadable templates. You can find the videos on my Youtube channel and I will link to the playlist here. You can also find the downloadable templates and any brief written instructions here on my website, in the free patterns area. 

There's already a video showing how to do the butterfly block and the proper introduction video will go live on Youtube at 9pm on Monday 22nd June. I hope you will join me in making this lovely mini quilt, I'm so excited to be sharing this pattern with you all. Thank you to everyone who has left me lovely comments about my design, it really means a lot to me. 

Hello Friends,

I hope you are all well and staying safe. This is just a very quick note to let you know that I will be removing my blog from Bloglovin and deleting my account from there in the next couple of days. Since I set up my Bloglovin account, I have been inundated with spam followers which has left me feeling uncomfortable. The spam followers promote things that have nothing to do with sewing and I do not wish to be associated with such things. There is no way to delete or block followers there so I sent numerous DMs and emails to Bloglovin about this issue, but I got no replies. I decided to just try to ignore the spam followers as I know I also have lovely real followers there too. But today was the last straw when I noticed my actual blog had been spammed with spam comments. Unfortunately my website provider isn't great at notifying me of comments, and because I hadn't checked in a while, I didn't know they'd been there for days. I feel embarrassed about this as I know I have had lots of lovely people come and read my blog and follow me recently. I haven't updated this little blog for a few weeks and I am really sorry about that. I will be back in a couple of days with an update about things and what you can expect from me over the coming weeks. But in the meantime, I'm so grateful to everyone who follows me on various platforms, reads my blog, subscribes to my newsletter and takes the time to engage with me, it really means a lot and I am sorry I have been absent lately. I'm sorry if you follow me through Bloglovin as I will delete my account very soon. If you'd like to continue following me, I will always announce my blog posts over on Instagram so that's a great place to follow me. Or I do have my email letter, which is only once a month but I will link to any blog posts there too. 
Many thanks for reading this, I hope you are all well
