Post from summer 2022 pattern available from @and_sew_i 🌈Yay the time has come we can now share this awesome quilt what a honour it was to be asked to test another pattern for Helen @and_sew_i a very talented designer friend we think she’s a inspirational lady with a talented mind. Called Unique-orn When we seen it we fell in love and thought this will be a challenge and the biggest full FPP pattern to attempt 🦄 because of our visual impairment we went with the large one 60”x80” and started the planning right away then bought our fabrics at Malvern quilts uk then over two weeks every day sewn each section it’s super accessible with amazing introductions, diagrams, fabric Key and large fonts and numbers. Pieced and will be quilted with @aurifilthread 🌈🦄🌈🦄 and we couldn’t have done it without our amazing Pfaff Machines IDT and FPP is a million times easier then other machines! 🌈🦄 Pattern Out on 1st July Two sizes and options for horse 🐴 and Unique-corn 🦄  thanks to all the ...

  This little diva is our gorgeous dog Tessie we can’t believe she is ten this year she is our first dog of our family and so very loved. She has had double leg surgery from early in her life as she was born with a dodgy knees bless her but we all nursed her through the surgery’s and she does well on her short walks and uses her dog pram when she gets tired.  She loves sleeping a lot and hanging out with us in the sewing room she’s occasionally cheeky when she stands by the draw where her favourite treats are and pokes her nose through the space where you pull open. But she gets us out for a daily walk gives us confidence and keeps us safe. 🥰🥰💕 On holiday she’s been all over the uk 🇬🇧 France 🇫🇷 Ireland 🇮🇪 met other dogs on holiday and many people.  Sewing room buddy Sewing room sofa 

  We enjoyed creating this poster for our local quilt sewing group we help run we have 35 active members and creating this post on Procreate and advertising it we have gained more.  There’s nothing like sharing a hobby with others and being with like minded friends.  🥰🥰🧵🧵 

  ⭐️ ⭐️Positive Changes for the future… back in October 2022 we met up with our long time friend we all had so much to catch up on @stephstar87 We Went to @wagamama_uk together for lunch to sample there new large print menus it was a wonderful experience to be looked after by the manger Chris he was so kind and friendly we feel so proud to have been able to work alongside this brand and change for future generations. Whilst visiting back in February there was new menu it was inaccessible not only to us but to our other friend who had forgotten her glasses so we went with something we already had ordered without having to look but it got us thinking how accessibility is met but sight loss isn’t or thought about. So we dropped an email to the head office. Waited for reply and it wasn’t long they where so nice and so sorry that we couldn’t use there new menus and wanted us for a phone chat to address and make changes in there brand so we spoke with Max and he was so nice and accommoda...

Hip hip hooray we have a completed sewing room dad said this will be his first and last garage conversation he’s all self taught and utterly amazing!! As it was hard going for a whole year but hasn’t he done a fantastic job with our help of course we don’t miss hovering the dust 🤣🤣 and it’s already been our one year anniversary and it’s used every day sewing, folding washing, chilling, typing cutting our next projects, teaching friends,our pfaff kit is so much better in here everything is on hand and more accessible.  There’s more light with all the led spot lights on a dimmer switch. The rainbow 🌈 wall is a firm favourite with everyone the best recycling project ever saving a whopping two grand and it was made with teamwork of us all.  Tessie our dog loves the sewing room as much as us dad says because it’s warm with the stacks of insulation he added and big radiator. Thank you mum and dad for our dream space. We love it 🥰🥰 xxx  It’s a lot more fuller than...

  Accessibility is close to our heart,  When you live with disabilities and have friends with disabilities, you no some things or places aren’t accessible but everything, and all places should be accessible. It’s definitely improving in this modern world but we all need to reach out and educate. Education is the best gift when it comes to changes many people we see on social media platforms expect to be paid to educate which we think is wrong if you educate your not only doing it for yourself your also doing it for other people like yourself and for future lives. Exclusion happens if they don’t no or think of certain needs so no changes need to be made.  Being positive and reaching out in a positive way makes it all so much easier and makes you feel like you helped make positive changes.  Recently we visited a few restaurants over a few weeks and all of them had menus with tiny writing to read we was with friends who could read to us and one friend had forgotten her ...
