It is August. Summer in the UK. It has been hot and sunny for a couple of weeks which has been wonderful. I've been EPPing in the garden - perfect summer sewing projects. But today's news is that the new issue of Fat Quarterly, Sew Britannia, is available to buy. There are loads of wonderful patterns in this issue and all for just the price of one pattern. Here are pictures of a few of the projects you can make from this issue. Brioni's Keep Calm quilt.
My Jumping Jacks Quilt.
Laura's Royal Crown pillow (and many more wonderful projects besides).

Hey Lynne! Here after a long time! Looking forward to what everybody's making... And a wonderful issue!
ReplyDeleteI like your keep calm and carry on quilt... it is super cute. Thanks as always for hosting this. I can't wait to see what everyone has been up to.
ReplyDeleteThis issue looks fantastic! Love those projects. Thanks for hosting this every month, Lynne. I always look forward to it!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great issue, as always!
ReplyDeleteLooks like some great projects in the latest issue! Loving the Keep Calm one!
ReplyDeleteI've been enjoying perusing my copy :o) I'll link up later
ReplyDeleteI love that UJ quilt and have already read the FQ issue from cover to cover.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work everyone - I wish I'd finished some projects - maybe next month
ReplyDeleteHi, Lynne - lovely projects from the latest FQ issue, particularly the Keep Calm quilt!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting the monthly Fresh Sewing Day and this is my first link-up. Looking forward to seeing what everyone has been up to. =)
Loving all the Brit Pride stuff around at the moment. I know a lot of nations hate us Brits - so it always amuses me when I see they want our flag and 'keep calm' slogan on their stuff :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting these link-ups every month! www.paperstarfish.prettyposies.com
ReplyDeleteI'm really enjoying flicking through the new issue of FQly - it's full of fabulous projects!
ReplyDeleteThis issue looks great! I especially want to make the Keep Calm mini.
ReplyDeleteHello!
ReplyDeleteI bought the FQly issue for your Jumping Jacks pattern. I've gone to the Flikr group and I have a question for you. It looks as if, on the paper pieced portions of the block, that one of the quarter inch lines is bigger than the other. Is that correct? I have printed out the paper-pieced portion of the block and it appears to be the same size (I'm talking about the lines on each side of the diagonal center line). What's up with the Flickr pics?
Thanks and cheery wave from
Bev

Bev you're a no reply comment blogger so I can't reply directly to your comment but can you email me with a link to the flickr pic that looks as though the lines are different sizes on the diagonal because it must be a trick of the image - on the Jumping Jacks quilt, they are the sam width each side.
DeleteI love finding new link ups so I can add them to the button collection on my (still small) blog.
ReplyDeleteSome great looking projects there from the magazine.....I'll get round to making my mosaic soon =D
ReplyDeleteLove the theme of the Fat Quarterly! And congrats for your entry!
ReplyDeleteyay - love the keep calm quilt - can't wait to make one of those :)
ReplyDeleteLove the jumping jacks quilt. So cute!
ReplyDeleteKeep calm and carry on, aha, that's a great quilt.
ReplyDeleteWow your England-inspired quilts are awesome - love the Jumping Jacks in particular.
ReplyDeleteWhen does the link close? I was just attempting to link up, I thought it was open all day today? Guess I missed it? haha
