I can't honestly say when Mary and I "met" online because I'm pretty sure...it's been years ago. Mary Emmens is from Exeter in the UK and another one of the wonderful sewists who have been reviewing patterns for me this summer. She is a busy Mom with an etsy shop - selling her wares both online and locally at various events in the UK. That amazing chevron quilt up there...she has made that using vintage sheets and has a kit available in her store. Isn't it absolutely gorgeous?! I'd love one king size for my own bed!

Her blog is full of fabulous photographs of her creations which also includes, now and then, baked goods. Mmmm! But I love looking at her photos...so colorful, fun and inspiring. Such a joy to read. Fun to see what others sew for their families...love this little on the go car play station!

Mary chose to review my Hazel Hipster pattern, my all time most popular pattern (I even have a NEW e-class for the Hazel coming out VERY soon!). She made an adorable version that you'll just have to see for yourself! I love that she made the addition of making an adjustable strap for her daughter to get longer wear out of the bag. Mary also has a giveaway going on for some Two Peas patterns until Wednesday and until Sunday...you can hop in on a giveaway she is offering on that chevron quilt kit up top!

I know you'll enjoy Mary's blog as much as I do...and will enjoy her creations. Thanks so much Mary for being a part of our summer review team!
