Rosehips Mini Quilt
The Holly, The Ivy and the Hares
This design was inspired by my autumnal and winter country walks, and the quietness and resting of these seasons. It is a time to see the beautiful architecture of seed heads that are in abundance, and the deep redness of the Rosehips against the paleness of the cooler skies. The paper piecing was inspired by the Jane Austen coverlet.
Finished size 19.5 x 20 inches.
The Holly, The Ivy and the Hares
The Holly, The Ivy and the Hares

Four Seasons In A Day Pincushion
Four Seasons In A Day Pincushion
This whimsical and folksy pincushion design mimics a hare running on top of a hill pincushion, with each side representing a season.
The seasonal designs on each for the four sides are taken from a selection of my collections: ‘Rosehips’, ‘The Holly, The Ivy and The Hare’, ‘In the Meadow’.

The Crow & The Hare in The Pumpkin Patch
Pincushion, Scissor Fob and Needle Minder.
The Crow sits proudly on the generous pumpkin pincushion holding his acorn, whilst the Hare runs around the spool through the Pumpkin Patch. The mini spell book scissor fob will mind your needles.
The pattern will include all elements to this design, and if you do not have an old spool the Hare running through the Pumpkin Patch can be used as a mat on which to sit your Crow and Pumpkin. There are many creative opportunities to incorporate all elements of this design.
The design includes applique, embroidery and English paper piecing, and full instructions.
The pattern will be released the beginning of October 2025.
