 Happy New Year! I hope 2023 is a brilliant year for you full of good health and happiness. The start of a brand new year always feels like a good time to reflect on the past year and think about what changes we can make for the new one. I began by thinking I didn't really achieve much last year because I thought about all of the things I didn't do. My list of goals, none of which I completed. All of the things I started but didn't finish. I had to remind myself that it was a tough year personally in many ways, my health wasn't at it's best. But hopefully I am through the worst of that now and I can move forward. When I looked back on what I did make, I was pleasantly surprised that I did work on some nice projects last year! I also taught some lovely workshops at the festival of quilts and the knitting and stitching show, meeting so many lovely people at both. So overall last year ended up being better than I initially thought!  A major highlight of the past year was the quilt as you go community project. I started a quilt as you go quilt and after sharing it on Youtube, I asked others to join in and to send info and photos of their projects in so I could share on the channel. The response was fantastic and I really enjoyed seeing what everyone was making. If you'd like to see too, I will leave the video below so you can watch, it's so inspiring I know you'll enjoy it too. In 2022 I launched my Stitch School and I am really proud of it. So far there are two workshops on there, one that is an add on to the Hexagon Sewing Case pattern and one that is a stand alone mini workshop for the Flower Power Pincushion. I have lots in the works for more workshops in 2023 and I am looking forward to sharing that with you in due course.  Thank you so much for all of the support you have shown me over the past 12 months. Whether that is through following on Instagram or Youtube, buying my patterns and workshops, or purchasing items from my shop, it all means so much to me and I have a lot to be grateful for. Wishing you a wonderful 2023 full of lots of creativity.

Hi Maria, Happy new year! Thank you so much for buying my patterns and kit, I really hope you making them x 22/1/2023 05:02:15 pm
I really enjoy your videos, and you have inspired me to try hexiform EPP. I have only used papers in the past. I am making a liberty tana lawn hexagon cushion, but have also sent for some of the tiny shapes to use up tiny scrap. I'm very excited to see how these turn out.

I've just discovered you and have become a HUGE fan! I live in the US...Indianapolis, Indiana. While working on machine quilting a National Parks quilt for my daughter's birthday, I watched ALL the videos you have posted. I think you are such a warm, caring, lovely person and if I lived in the UK, I would go anywhere to meet you and take a class! You mentioned Lori Holt and if I could I would exchange you some material of hers for some Hexiform!!! I bought 2 packages of Liberty from your shop before I saw your videos on Hexiform, so those didn't get added to my order. I cannot find a US source for Liberty or Hexiform! Not complaining at all but the shipping cost almost as much as my fabric order. I am hoping to get your hexi box kit and some hexiform for Christmas...putting a bug in my family's ear for this! I love that you talk about your son, and your love of nature, and books! You mentioned an author that you really like and I went back to try to find it, but could you write me back with her name...it was fiction, but had quilting in it. I do text and email, but I'm a dinosaur when it come to tech (age 67) so I am not on social media.
