So if you’d like to see all of the projects and quilts from my new book Big Stitch Quilting @searchpress then I’ll be on @createandcrafttv tomorrow (Sunday) chatting about the book and the quilts 😃.
And if you’re free on Saturday 5th June we’re doing an in person book launch with @pincushion_pantiles , more on that later! #bigstitch #bigstitchquilting #utilityquilting #handquilted #handquilting #runningstitch #quilting #patchwork #patchworkquilt #carolynforsterquilts #carolynforster #makersgonnamake #enjoytheprocess #quiltsofinstagram #quiltersofinstagram

Kicking off #favouritefabricfriday with this one 😍. It’s actually an old top (from @whitestuff ) that when I brought it, I sort of knew I would end up putting it in a quilt 🤷‍♀️.
There have been lots of great chats on Instagram about sewing sustainably. Check out @sherrilynnwood , @zakfoster.quilts , @heidi.parkes and @amandanadigart and @create.and.sustain for lots to think about!
I know we all have stories like mine , be great to hear them and show the fabric. Use the # and we can all have a look 🤓. #reuse #reusereducerecycle #suatainablesewing #favouritefabricfriday #favouritefabric #carolynforster #carolynforsterquilts #makersgonnamake #enjoytheprocess

Look out for the new edition, 75, of @todaysquilter . As well as all of the usual quilt goodness, my scrappy string quilt is on the cover, with full instructions inside. Can’t wait to see you all getting started on your own versions 🤓. #scrapquilt #stringquilt #usewhatyouhave #patchworkquilt #patchwork #todaysquilter #quilt #quiltsofinstagram #makersgonnamake #enjoytheprocess #carolynforster #carolynforsterquilts

Very proud of my pressing here, so swipe if you’d like to see the front 🤪.
And I’ve been mulling over ideas for classes to ease us back into some social sewing again at my local quilt shop.
As much as I might have ideas of my own, do any of you want to suggest what you might like me to offer, techniques, projects, quilts, bindings..... I’m not promising anything, but felt like picking some brains 🧐. #handpiecing #handstitched #handstitching #patchwork #quiltblock #slowstitch #runningstitch #pressingmatters #makersgonnamake #enjoytheprocess #carolynforster #carolynforsterquilts #tunbridgewellslife

When you put your phone down and wonder why you can’t find it. Current projects shown , binding a quilt (secret sewing 😉),whole cloth Kawandi (yes that is more of my favourite fabric from @catheholden 🤷‍♀️), and new knitting in my project pouch (from @carollesleyquilts 😍). It’s all keeping me busy in the evenings! #handwork #slowstitch #makersgonnamake #enjoytheprocess #stitchtopiauk

And the days get closer for my book to be out there in your hands🥳. @searchpress have a free project using my favourite things, Big Stitch Quilting and Japanese Knot Bags! Hop over to their site to download 👍. This bag is great for keeping all those lovely threads in that you’ll be using on the book projects and quilts! #bigstitchquilting #bigstitch #handquilting #handstitched #gandstitching #freeproject #searchpress #bag #japaneseknotbag #makersgonnamake #enjoytheprocess #carolynforster #carolynforsterquilts #tunbridgewellslife

There is so much happening in the next few weeks and so much to tell you 😁.
Today I’ll start by saying how excited I am about classes starting next week at @madeandmaking 🤓. We will be exploring Manx Logcabin Patchwork, and I’m getting more samples prepped, as after making my first quilt, I have so many more ideas for stitching these blocks. (I’ll even be looking at sewing them on the machine, if hand sewing isn’t your thing!) It’s a great technique for portable stitching, so if you’re planning a Staycation , this is the perfect hand stitching to take. Sarah has a lovely classroom, and for those of us lucky enough to have been there before, it’s a very safe and friendly, with good SD practices. So if you’re looking to ease yourself in to getting out then this would be a lovely one to start you off ! #manxlogcabin #handstitched #handstitching #madeandmaking #makersgonnamake #patchwork #quiltinprogress #logcabinpatchwork #shortquilt #sustainablesewing #quiltersofinstagram #enjoytheprocess #usewhatyouhave #sewyourstash #scrapquilt #reusereducerecycle #carolynforster #carolynforsterquilts

Joining @charmaboutyou Lucy and #saturdaynightcraftalong 🥳🥳. Finishing up on the Big Stitch Quilting on this scrap quilt. I honestly thought the quilting would get lost in this busy print on the border, but no, there it is, standing proud.😍. One more good reason to get going on Big Stitch! If I’m good,I’ll be taking the tacking out later tonight, party , party 🤣🤣. #bigstitch #bigstitchquilting #searchpress #carolynforster #carolynforsterquilts #handquilting #handquilted #makersgonnamake #enjoytheprocess #runningstitch #quilting #quilted

At odd times this week I thought about what my #favouritefabricfriday share would be today. I even took a picture of a hot contender. But this morning it seemed obvious that it had to be this Flea Market Moxie print by @catheholden for @modafabrics . I’ve been stitching it into projects on and off since I brought it, but this week it’s been a feature fabric in my current quilt making, and I’m even going Big by stitching a panel into a Kawandi style whole cloth mini quilt. So those are my plans with this favourite fabric, what are your plans for yours ? #catheholden #showmethemoda #favouritefabric #carolynforsterquilts #makersgonnamake #sewyourstash

I know it’s not stitched together yet, but it’s always worth testing it in the early stages for ‘lay ability’ 🐶. #quiltinprogress #spanishwaterdogsofinstagram #quilttester #scrapquilt #designfloor #carolynforsterquilts

One of my favourite unfinished quilts from a favourite class I teach! Sorting through my bags of teaching and all the samples and felt this deserved an airing. This Perkiomen Valley quilt is in a classic layout for the split ninepatch block that it incorporates. Many of you know that the history behind the patchwork fascinates me and this niche of patchwork is no exception 🤓. Google or look in books if you’re interested! #scrapquilt #stashbuster #sewyourstash #splitninepatch #perkiomenvalleyquilt #patchwork #quiltinprogress #quiltsofinstagram #makersgonnamake #enjoytheprocess #carolynforster #carolynforsterquilts

Does your head feel like this? So many ideas and things to juggle to fit in a day, a week or this month 🤪. Make your Monday a good one ! #patchwork #quiltblock #scrapquilt #makersgonnamake #enjoytheprocess #usewhatyouhave #sewyourstash #carolynforster #carolynforsterquilts

Joining Lucy @charmaboutyou for #saturdaynightcraftalong and everyone else out there! There’s a lot of hand quilting going on, and it might look chaotic, but I know what I’m doing 🤣🤣 #doingwhatilove #handquilting #bigstitchquilting

I’ve been toying with the idea of a #monthlymarker for a while now, and honestly thought that this month I would have made the alphabet block for May. But seemingly not, so I’m using the block from a quilt I made last year (but haven’t quilted yet 🤷‍♀️). I’ve even, rather pessimistically photographed the J for Next month incase I still haven’t got my act together 🤔. #may #patchwork #alphabet #quiltinprogress #carolynforster #carolynforsterquilts #makersgonnamake #enjoytheprocess #quiltersofinstagram

Today on #favouritefabricfriday I’m choosing this print by @karenlewistextiles 😍. I treasure this price printed by her on a cotton linen mix, but I’ve used the same print in a neutral in lots of wonderful sewing projects from @robertkaufman . This print was from the Bloomsbury range, and it’s so happy isn’t it? Which fabrics are making you happy today? Share using the # and we can all enjoy! #karenlewistextiles #fabric #favouritefabric #patchworkpotential
