SEW LITTLE TIME
I’m Emily, I run Step by Step Patchwork Centre in South Molton, with my Mum, Julia and our little Border Terrier, Molly.
I love EPP and FPP – one day I hope to produce my own designs/patterns using these techniques.
This blog will be a record of my adventures – or misadventures – in the world of Patchwork and Quilting.
Happy Stitching!
The Last Post
ETA - I'm not leaving the shop. You're stuck with me for a while to come yet! Some of you have voiced concerns that I'm hanging up my rotary cutter and moving onto pastures new - I'm not, so please don't panic! I'm just putting this blog to bed (or so I thought!). It...
The Penultimate One
I’ve been having a real think of late, about which social media channels I need to concentrate on with the shop, and unfortunately, I will be bringing my blog to a close after the May edition – because I will have something fun to share with you all hopefully! I’ve...
The One Where Easter Came and Went
Oops, this one should’ve been written and posted last week, but I lost track of time. Then we were away for the Easter weekend, and now I’m a day behind. It is Tuesday, right? Anyhoo… These are the latest set of my Colour Me Monday blocks… And the colours… I’m...
The One that Came Round a Little Too Quick
How are we in March already? February sped by at 75mph in a 30mph zone! Bonkers. I did get a lot done though. But I am going to start off by saying thank you to everyone who voted for us in ByAnnie’s annual Local Quilt Shop Contest, we finished 3rd in the UK! To say...
The One That’s a Little Later Than Planned
Oh dear. This post is almost a week late…in my defence I have been busy making things and playing shops. I’m going to start with a continuation of my 2025 Year in Review as I did some scary maths at the start of the year… I’m not 100% sure that it’s 100% accurate on...
The One with the Last Post of 2025
Yup, you read that title right. This will be my last post for this year. I’ve held off posting in November because of this. December is marching on apace, and before we know it, we’ll be at the festive showdown. So, without further ado… I’ve completed another five...
The One where I Started Something New
I’m getting in before the end of the month this time, so you’re getting two posts in one month! Why? I’m going on holiday on Friday (31st) and won’t be back in the shop until next week. Mum and Molly will do a sterling job holding the fort. I will tell all in next...
The One with a Plethora of Finishes
I’ve been stitching up a storm over the past month and a bit. I’ve even managed to finish some things as well, which makes a nice change, as I’m usually just continuing on with other projects.
The One Where it was Suddenly September
Umm, how did we get to September? It was July five minutes ago…Oohh dear.
The One That Went By in a Flash
Can we please put the brakes on 2025? How is it nearly my birthday already (it’s next Wednesday)? There’s so much to do! Anyone know where I can buy some time?
