10 Favourite Crafty Things with Jenny Kingwell
Ever wondered what a really crafty gal loves about craft and being creative? Well no need. Jenny Kingwell from amitie gives us an insight into what she REALLY loves about being crafty.
Jenny’s ten favourite crafty things...

1 Champagne – There’s nothing better than
a glass of
champagne with my stitching group; it’s like a therapy
session!
2 Hand quilting with perle thread – Not only does
it look fantastic, it makes the quilts softer and far
more snugly [and it’s quick!]
3 Japan and all things Japanese – I’m just
in love
with Japanese culture, not to mention their
stunning patchwork industry.
4 Aunt Bec’s Nine Patch – I’m a little obsessed with
this pattern. You can make it in a day
and, depending
on the colours, each quilt
looks different.
5 Go hand in hand… My Rotary Cutter
& and Sewing Machine – Working to a deadline,
6 these two tools allow me to get something
out in
under a day.
7 Bright Fabrics – I stock the bright designs of
Amy Butler and Kaffe Fassett, along with many
bolts I’ve hand picked. I hope these give my
customers the same feeling they give me.
8 Giving Gifts – I love nothing better than giving
something handmade. The way a person responds
when they unwrap a gift makes for
a very special moment.
9 My Recliner – For the naps in between stitches.
10 Online Friends – The friendships I’ve made through
blogging absolutely astounds me.
