Not everything happening around here involves fabric and thread! I've been trying to make a few things around the barn look a little better, and this cupboard is currently a work in progress. As you can see, I'm very much at the halfway painting the inside stage! 😄 It did get me thinking though — sometimes it's quite satisfying to stop sewing for a while and tackle one of those jobs you've been meaning to do forever. So that's a little glimpse of what's happening here today. So I'm curious — are you a one-project-at-a-time person, or do you have several things on the go at once?

This morning we had an amazing frost and I thought it was time for a photo of a quilt, the sun was shining, so out I went and took this photo (even my shoes had frost on them!) and then I took a second photo and discovered this amazing dark cloud above! Things can be deceptive!

What's one quilting tool you couldn't be without? Is there something that you use regularly and would feel lost without? Like a rotary cutter? Sewing machine? specific scissors? or....? Do let us know. Fo me I think it might be the rotary cutter - I have been quilting for a long time and can remember the days before the rotary cutter, it made such a difference to cutting out quilt pieces.

Hello everyone! I thought it was time for a little bit of fun. 😊 Our GourmetQuilter Studio Corner family is growing so nicely (welcome to all our new members!), so here's a question that I think every quilter can answer... Cast your vote, then tell us a little more in the comments. I'd love to hear your quilting story... and don't worry, this is a judgement-free zone. I suspect quite a few of us may have more than one project on the go! Happy stitching, SusanClaire 🧵 ...because quilting is delicious! Which one sounds most like you?

I do actually have a couple of pieces of antique fabric, but I also have lots of older fabrics that I have been reluctant to use as I wouldn't have them any more! Do you older fabrics, we would love to hear about them.
