Welcome to Jo’s Attic. Here you will find all my quilts, handmade in my sewing attic in rural France.

A beautiful view out the back garden this afternoon.
It’s been glorious all day.
I’ve just spent a little time moving and clearing the strawberries to their new home. We’ve made proper contained beds for them so they should be happier next year. And they are slightly raised so will be easier for me to manage them.
But this view keeps distracting me 😍

A true up cycling project ⭐
I hunted down and collected these IKEA frames. They are actually mirrors originally, but I got in touch with all the sellers and asked them to remove the glass so they could be posted more easily.
We used some old plywood to make the backing boards (left over from our builder - we knew it would come in useful at some point 😉)
I then found some vintage looking wallpaper, and using some fabric scraps, made up these frames.
I’m so pleased with them. They hang behind my sofa on the big white wall that’s there. It needed something to break up all the white, and we didn’t have the budget, or desire, to wallpaper the entire wall, so the frames were a great solution 😊

Always nice when something works and surprises you!!

A bit of weekend baking ❤️

These star blocks have sat patiently, waiting to be put together and today was the day ❤️
These fabrics were collected from various places, but mostly new, sold on Vinted.
There are many fabric suppliers out there, but the curated, pre cut bundles are so very expensive. And I don’t always like all the fabrics in the bundle.
This way, I get to choose all the prints and colours I love 🥰
The palette for this one was vintage French style. Soft florals, pinks, browns and creams, with a splash of blue.
I can’t wait to start quilting this one.

Rare treat for me… NEW fabric (not thrifted/second hand or Vinted). All chosen for no specific purpose other than quilt making ❤️

I never buy for a pattern.

I just like to collect lots of fabric until I have enough to put in a semi coordinated bundle and then I start chopping 😊.

I’ve been tempted to buy curated matching bundle sets, but they are so expensive and I don’t always like all of the prints in the bundle.

But with this selection, I love every single one.
From my favourite online shop Wool Warehouse .(they deliver to France no problem, but remember you will have to pay douane import charges)

They never disappoint 😊 it’s a delight to get a package from them.

(Featuring Liberty and Lewis and Irene fabrics - firm favs in my attic ❤️)

Just a pretty picture in the pretty light this evening.

The allotment has been such a lovely journey 🤩
Cutting down those oversized pines was nerve wracking and costly, but it freed up a lovely little corner that we always had quiet plans for.
Due to my illness, we started super small, and kept it that way for a couple of years.
But this year, 2026, with a lot of support from my wonderful Mr T ❤️ , we upped to 4 raised beds, and it’s been great. Despite the heatwaves scuppering some of my plans, we’ve managed to grow quite a lot, and as such, have eaten so much from the garden. It’s such a joy.
I don’t want to wish my life away, but I feel next year will be even better as I’ve learnt so much this year. Hurrah for having an allotment. If you talked to Jo of 20 years ago, I don’t think she would ever have imagined all this gardening (and quilt making)😊
As we enter our third heatwave, and I’m loosing my sweetcorn 😢 and some of the beans are drying up (but others are doing fine!) it’s good to look back on the progress and successes 💪🏼
How’s your garden doing???

Despite the crazy weather, complete dryness and heatwave after heatwave, it’s still very pleasing to be able to eat from the garden.
This was a super simple, all in one, pot dinner. Plenty for the both of us for a couple of days, plus more to share 🩷
It’s such a joy to cook from the garden. I don’t think I’ll ever tire of it.
