Where did the name Down Grapevine Lane come from? Our first house in Australia was on a street called Grapevine Lane in McLaren Vale, the picturesque wine region in South Australia. We had stunning views of miles of vineyards stretching towards the hills in the distance, and that was the house where my sewing journey began. I decided to start a hobby blog when I was pregnant with my daughter and a friend suggested the name for it. We have since moved to a much bigger property with acreage in the same town (still with beautiful vineyard views) but the name has stuck as it’s so widely recognised in the sewing community. When I was pregnant with my daughter, the nesting urge set in big time! I wanted to decorate…

Spring’s well and truly here, and we couldn’t think of a better way to enjoy the lighter evenings than with a dreamy getaway in a lovely log cabin. As it happens, we’re also pretty content sat at our sewing machines and whipping up some pretty Log Cabin blocks as a happy compromise – anyone with us?

If you’ve been wondering whether all these curated bundles each month have equated to a larger WIP pile, well, yes, you would be correct. And if, by chance, you’ve been pondering whether I had a massive WIP pile to begin with, again yes, you nosy Nellie you. I must confess. I have a pile of unfinished sewing projects so grand I felt it deserved a name, and so it was christened ‘The Vault of Shame’ about two years ago. Though its name suggests shame and, let’s face it, negligence, I don’t truly feel guilty about my languishing projects. Most were abandoned, even if just temporarily, for the sake of creativity. I lost interest in those projects because I felt inspired by another, and if I’ve learned anything throughout my years…

Don't be square! Roses are red, violets are blue, triangles are irresistible for us and for you. Let’s face it, who can look at Lindsey of Pen + Paper Patterns’ new Mod Triangles quilt and not want to piece up their own version immediately?! Believe it or not, the pattern includes zero Half-rectangle Triangles, being entirely traditionally pieced, with only those pesky dog ears to trim at the end… yes, really! Mod Triangles is also half yard, fat quarter and stash friendly, making it a double win in our books. Grab your copy from penandpaperpatterns.etsy.com OH SO OMBRÉ Contrary to popular belief, we don’t buy the idea that there’s a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Instead, we think these Ombr é Confetti Metallic beauties by V&Co…

Piecing a Log Cabin block Log Cabin blocks are made up of a centre square, with “logs” added around the centre, one at a time. The logs are traditionally added in a circular order. A set of four logs around the centre is called a “round”. Finished sizes The Log Cabin Trim Tool will make blocks with three rounds, with a finished size of either 3½in square or 7in square (4in and 7½in unfinished). These two sizes will work together. So two 3½in blocks can be sewn together against one 7in block. 1 Choose which size block you want to make and cut strips of fabric to size. For the smaller 3½in finished block, you need strips at least 1in wide. For the larger 7in finished block, you will need…
