If only I had had time to plan, practise, and ensure I had all the supplies. It was a safe option and I knew I wouldn’t run out of thread, and I knew I could do it fast! But you know, I could have done so much more.

But fear or running out of both got the better of me, so what did I do? Just a boring all over free motion meander. In my head, at the time, I was wondering if I had enough time and thread to do an all over english rose pattern. I didn’t even know if I had enough thread. I literally had about 3 hours to quilt the quilt! I really hadn’t planned properly. Did I mention only one of them was fully finished at that point! Of the other three, one was pieced ( Glitter Ball BOM quilt ), one was part pieced (Jubilee quilt) and one was simply a figment of my imagination (Kaleidobloom BOM quilt )! Crazy, right?! By the time I had finished the Glitter Ball and Kaleidobloom quilts, I had just 4 days left to finish piecing, basting, quilting and binding the British Sew-a-row Jubilee quilt. Now, let me tell you a funny story about that quilt…Įarlier this year I thought it would be a good idea to enter four quilts into the Festival of Quilts competition. I got to know Amy earlier this year whilst I was using her fabulous Notting Hill range of fabrics to stitch up my British Sew-a-Row Jubilee quilt.
I particularly love helping people get to grips with free motion quilting so they can finish their quilts themselves.
I also have an online learning membership (Quilt Hive) for quilters where I teach a whole host of different patchwork & quilting techniques. I love helping quilters learn new skills and improve their current ones so they see improved results and get more satisfaction from their hobby! I teach online courses on free motion quilting, foundation paper piecing, block of the month programmes. I’m a quilter, pattern designer and teacher. Hey there, I’m Jo Westfoot from The Crafty Nomad. It might be my most favorite quilt made with Notting Hill fabric. (Also, you know that I love this first quilt that she shares.

At the end of each section she includes a question and answer section with helpful hints to improve your quilting. Her instructions are clear, well illustrated, and very encouraging.
