About Me
- Hen
- London/Somerset, United Kingdom
- Hello, Thank you so much for visiting the HenHouse. I am a 30-something stay-at-home mum sharing my life with my lovely partner, Andy/Mr HenHouse, the Munchkin, aged 10, and three naughty cats: Charlie-Boy, Jacky-Ginge and Vorey-Puss! I love sewing, crafting, quilting and mooching for vintage finds. We currently split our time between the city in London and our cosy cottage bolthole in the West Country. Here we seek out eiderdowns, Lloyd Loom, china, flowery pictures, embroidered tablecloths and of course, cider and cream teas! I sell my handmade items at craft fairs, on Etsy and in my blogshop and am so thrilled they have found welcoming homes all over the world.

Such a beautiful quilt, can't wait to see it done. The machine quilting part is always the scary part for me!!!
Have a wonderful week quilting!

That is going to be BEAUTIFUL!! Can't wait to see it all done. :-) Teresa in Oregon USA
Looking forward to seeing the end result :) x
Why didn't I think of that before? Doing a test run is so, so sensible. Thank you for your wise example - I will learn from you for the next time!

Looking forward to seeing the final result!
Wow!
Machine quilting...always get nervous working on something large...never seem to get the 'sandwich' of quilt wadding and lining as smooth and accurately pinned as I wish..that looks really stunning,so impressed with your patience,calm and accuracy in the face of extreme quilting....
oh lovely cant wait to see the finished quilt! fliss xxx
I hope I can quilt like you one day. Your work is amazing.
