My name is Kendra and I am a good starter. There I have admitted it. I am a good starter but not a good finisher.

Creating this blog is my attempt to finish up all of those projects that I have started and not finished. I also want to keep track of new projects that are currently no more than ideas, and get them finished.

It seems such a shame that projects that I had such passion for are stuffed in zip lock bags and taking up space when they could be completed and brightening up my home or gifted to family and friends.

So there it is, I will be pulling together lists of what I have and what I want to achieve and sharing them here. I knit, sew, and quilt so plenty to keep me busy in the coming year.

Clementine Quilt Along: February Month 2 – Broken Berries

From January 2018 to July 2018 I am joining in the Clementine Quilt Along benefiting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

The exclusive charity quilt along pattern results in this gorgeous quilt that measures 70.5″ x 90.5″. 





To take part simply donate $5 to St. Judes for each pattern. Patterns are released on the 25th of each month from January 2018 to July 2018.





February's block is Broken Berries. Each month there are two sizes of the block to make, 12.5" and 20.5" unfinished.





There are a lot of pieces to organise but I've found cutting and prepping the block to be a lot of fun - especially as I was provided with the fabulous Clementine Quilt Along Quilt Kit and Backing Kit featuring Mama's Cottage by Moda Fabrics to take part in the quilt along.




Fat Quarter Shop kits are a wonderful way to join in a quilt along as everything is there ready for you. I have a box just for this quilt that I can pull out and make blocks from each month, no getting sidetracked while di…

Cotton + Steel Divided Basket

Today I have my very first guest blog. The Noodlehead Divided Basket sewalong I am co-hosting over on Instagram starts today and my co-host Peta is here to show you her gorgeous Cotton & Steel basket and share a tutorial on a handle detail she came up with which looks fantastic.

Thanks Kendra for letting me hang out on your blog today. Excited? Well yessiree I am!
How great is Instagram! I love checking through my feed each day to see what the wonderfully talented quilters and sewers have been up to around the globe. Instagram is such an inspirational and generous community and, of course, it’s how I met Kendra and how the Divided Basket Sew Along came about. I don’t have a blog (and really admire people like Kendra who do) but I’d love it if you came and said hi on Instagram, my user name is @shequiltsalot.
Now… onto the Sew Along. I love Anna Graham’s style and patterns. I’ve sewn a couple of items from her tutorials and have found the pattern instructions reall…

Noodlehead Divided Basket Sewalong

I have recently discovered Instagram (I know, I know I'm late) and that hasn't helped with my plan to blog more often but it has led to something quite wonderful.Reading the always wonderful Noodlehead blog on Saturday night I spotted Crafterhours were having a Friday Fiver offer on the Divided Basket pattern. I've longed to make a Divided Basket for quite a while now but I had a self imposed pattern buying ban as I have a million other patterns (at least) to make first. But $5 was too good to miss (craft economics at play here as the pattern is very reasonable even without the discount). So now we come back to the IG connection, I happened to mention I had bought the pattern and asked if anyone had any tips for me before I started or wanted to have a sew along. Well a few messages later my brand new IG friend Peta (we are in a birthday swap together too) suggested we open the sewalong to anyone who wanted to join us and check with Anna Graham if it was ok to use her pat…
