Today’s the first day since last summer that I’ve braved the commute to work without a coat. At last I can (literally) see the light at the end the long, wintery tunnel. It’s amazing what a little sunshine does for the mood – everybody is so much happier in the sun and I’m feeling energised enough to tackle that mountain of WIPs that I’ve been putting off all year. To celebrate the onset of summertime I want to spread a little of that magic with projects that embrace the season. Happily this month’s issue is all kinds of sunny – bursting with colourful fabrics to brighten your day. Whatever you're working on, we hope we'll bring you a little sunshine today!

There are some colours that I just can't seem to get away from, like bright oranges and blues. These colours are constant favourites and will end up in almost anything I do What was the inspiration behind your latest collection for Robert Kaufman, Gleaned? My latest collection is a merry mix of patterns and textures gleaned from nature. When designing this line, I became very interested in patterns that already exist in the world. I was inspired to learn more about how they work, and then I felt challenged to make each one of them my own. In looking at motifs that have already been around, I loved rethinking of them in a way that felt personal but could also serve many different types of projects well. Each of your…

We’ve all got a million and one things on the go at any given time – it’s part of the joy of modern day life – but when it comes to finding time to be creative, a lot of us often struggle. Here are my top five tips for making more time in your day to be creative. 1 GET UP EARLY This is my number one life changing piece of advice – you don’t need that extra hour in bed. I used to be the worst morning person but a few years ago I couldn’t find any time in my day because of all my commitments, so I did something unthinkable and started getting up an hour earlier than my normal waking time so I could create. The first…

Quilt for the holidays! We're loving this collaboration from Lindsey Neill of Pen + Paper Patterns (@penandpaperpatterns) and Meghan Buchanan of Then Came June (@thencamejune). The two quilty superstars have put their heads together to create four patterns inspired by major holidays: Valentine's, Christmas, Halloween and 4th July (for all you folks across the pond). Each quilt is a fast-finish, with an easy, modern, block-based design to follow. They'll also be hosting a casual sew-along for each pattern, so keep an eye on their social media pages to join in!
