    D&DD - That looks amazing! I've never heard of a quillow before, but seeing that I'd love to have a go at making one - where did you get the info on how to make it from?

    Wow those are great, I want to be more creative :( might treat myself to a sewing machine after Christmas, and then try to remember from 10 years ago(hmm ok maybe a little more) when I last had a go at school.
