Love



It was barely what you would call love at first sight. In fact the relationship was a little rocky to start with. Were we even on speaking terms?

Perhaps back then we simply didn't understand one another. You seemed complicated and unforgiving. I treated you with some contempt. Progress was stilted.

But now we are a team. Others could see it long before me. They said we were meant to be together. That it would be a natural progression.

At first I scoffed. It could never work, I told myself. Yet here I am: finding I just couldn't be without you. It all seems so simple. Now.

Maybe I am biased.

My favourite gadget - a bias tape maker - and 10 metres of 25mm/1" bias binding created from Robert Kaufman's "Cute To Boot" cotton print.

    Watch out, it becomes addictive! I still burn my fingers, though. Beautiful fabric, too. I'm making some to make your shower cap!

    Perfect for use with the adjustible binding foot you're thinking about getting. And as for the bias tape makers - a definite can't live without!
