Hello!

Hello, I'm Cathy and I'm a writer, proofreader, editor and all-round word botherer but this blog is a collection of all sorts of stuff and there'll probably be stuff about cats and sewing as well as writing. Please believe me when I say my vocabulary does sometimes extend to words other than 'stuff'.

Happy birthday to @notforhumans_petboutique! To ce Happy birthday to @notforhumans_petboutique! To celebrate this wonderful pet boutique’s first birthday, Debbie is donating 10% of her profits from sales this weekend to Folkestone & Hythe @catsprotection. Hooray for cats!😻 Even if you haven’t got a pet, you should make a visit anyway, as there’s gorgeous items for the home too, mostly made by local makers 😀 . . #notforhumans #petshop #petboutique #handmade #shoplocal #oldhighstreetfolkestone #localmakers #supportsmallbusiness #folkestone #folkestonecreativequarter #folkestonekent

I spent six hours making this cow. There weren’t I spent six hours making this cow. There weren’t any instructions with the pattern and I’m a complete novice at foundation paper piecing - do I take the paper off before sewing the pieces together? Or leave them until the end? This still has the paper on the back and it’ll be staying on as I’ve only basted them together. I took a couple of bits off and took the paper off and put them back together with normal stitches but it went wrong and that’s why it’s got a wonky ear. So I’ve left the rest of it as it was, still with the paper attached. 🐮 . . #foundationpaperpiecing #fpp #quiltblock #cowpattern #quilting #sewing #sewistofinstagram #sewist #quiltersofinstagram #cows #cowquiltblock #sewersgonnasew

After enjoying the foundation paper piecing so muc After enjoying the foundation paper piecing so much this morning, I went into @_miss_gingers to buy some ‘proper’ fabric. I couldn’t wait until tomorrow to make another block 😂 I was going to make enough of these blocks to make a cushion cover but now I’m wondering if it’ll be too bright and busy although I do love this one block 🤔 . . #foundationpaperpiecing #foundationpaperpieced #quiltblock #patchwork #sewing #sewingproject #sewistofinstagram #sewist #sewistsofinstagram
