Loventwined Quilt is fat quarter and charm square friendly if you want to make a scrap version like mine, Scrappy Fizz, or you could go for the Be My Valentine or Over the Rainbow palettes or make your own! The pattern will have yardage calculations for 3 sizes and 3 colourways.

Have you seen Gretchen Rubin’s yearly lists? Rather than making New Year’s resolutions, which, let’s all agree we often don’t stick to… Gretchen creates a list of aims for the year. So 2022 is a list of 22 items. Items she’d like to do by the end of the year. Everything from easy one-off items through to bigger ambitious items. Gretchen also chooses a word for the year.

I've listed my current tool box kit below, it can change over time, but these are pretty much my go-to tools.
