About Me

Hi, I'm Jen. I live near Preston in Lancashire.

I am so pleased to be a part of this SAL. This will be my first big Quaker. I did the pin-cube from stitch- creations and really enjoyed it. Yesterday I spent ages trying to decide what fabric and floss colour to use. In the end I opted for the 32 count lambswool and blueberry wildflowers from the Caron Collection. These are now on order from Sew and So.

My main blog is at http://speedystitcher.blogspot.com if you fancy looking at some of the other stuff I have done/am doing.
