Welcome to my blog. Come on in. Take a look around and delve into the archives.
Hope you will enjoy it and come back to visit occasionally.
I am a 50 something novice quilter living in the Dordogne département of South West France with my husband, daughter and 2 cats.
I try to sew in a straight line!
When I am not quilting and sewing, I may be walking, sight seeing, or reading, or gardening or just generally chilling out. After 9 years in the Dordogne we still haven’t seen everything and there is a lot to see.
I love walking round Brantome and Périgueux, looking at, and taking photos of, the gorgeous Renaissance architecture.
Hi,
I just found your blog from a link. I love your pictures and all the quilts that you are making. I am a quilter who never finishes much but has a fab collection of fabrics. Now I have the knitting bug and it has taken over.
Just wanted to say hello.
Hi Clare,
Hope DH recovers quickly. That way *you’ll* recover too!
Do you know how I can make the Q4L badge smaller on my blog? It seems huge!
Enjoyed your blog, you might like http://www.frenchness.com
Greetings from Springfield Missouri,
I came across your blog when I was looking for information about Dordogne area. My husband and I have done a considerable amount of traveling and will be coming that way around September 18th. We will be returning October 11th to Springfield. Since we will be close to Spain we plan to drive to Barcelona sometime during our adventures. We are flying into Marseille were we will be picking up a car. When this date arrives we will both be in our sixties. Jim is an artist and I am a nurse case managers.
Any advice? We are not inclined to do all tourist type things. We are explorers. Don’t take me wrong we do some of the tourist things but enjoy our back door experiences far better at times. We are not into luxury when it comes to putting our head down for the night. Just someplace thats clean and safe.
Au revoir for now

Your blog is such an enjoyable read and your photgraphs are the icing on an already delicious cake.
Thank you so much for including my quilted purse on your blog.
This is a first for me.
and I am speechless.

I am visiting my sister next week in Montemboeuf and as an avid quilter was looking for fabric shops or quilting groups I could visit, and by chance came upon your web site. Any chance you could help me with my quest. Fantastic site, will certainly keep in touch. Kath
Hi Clare…………
What a lovely blog………..
You asked for groups in the Middle East. Well I’ve just moved to Dubai from fantastic Muscat in Oman and they have got a really popular quilt group there. http://www.muscatquilters.com.
I know there is one in Abu Dhabi, Qatar and Bahrain but I don’t know the addresses. Maybe a google seach might help………
Best of luck with your charity blocks. I take it are 12″
