    Hi Emma, Thank you SO much for taking us along on this lovely tour of Beatrix Potter’s house - especially for someone who lives in the states & will probably never get a chance to see it for myself. 💕

    A lovely visit to Hill Top and a cute block for your quilt, thank you. A cheaper alternative to individual acrylic templates is to buy sheets of clear template plastic from which you can cut lots of your own templates and are excellent for fussy cutting. I find this very useful.

    Beatrix Potter is one of my very favorites, and I loved the opportunity to visit her house via your video. Have you ever watched the movie “Miss Potter”? I absolutely love it and I have watched it so many times. Your addition of Peter Rabbit to your Memories Quilt is such a wonderful idea, I love it and I look forward to seeing it added to your other pieces. Thanks for sharing your adventure to the Lake District - it must be so fabulous to get to go there in person. ❤

I stayed in Bowness, traveled by the ferry, and then walked, got a little lost, and eventually found my way to Hilltop Farm. Thank you for making it! I am working on a much different, but also inspired by my visit , quilt. 😊 Will try to share when done. Take care!!

    I loved everything in this video you’ve made, including the drive. (The entry into the freeway was scary at first for this American).
    The flowers, the garden, Hilltop itself and the furnishings were just stunning, but the reproduction of her parents’ wedding quilt was amazing! Beatrix Potter was a favorite author and illustrator of mine which brings back so many wonderful memories of reading to my children and grandchildren. I look so forward to seeing your memory quilt as you add lovely hexies!

    Greetings from Canada Emma. What a beautiful video. Thanks for taking us along on your road trip to Beatrix Potter's cottage.It was very interesting and beautiful. I can see why you called it your happy place. In the second half of the video as I watched you mark, cut and sew the pieces together, and I noticed that your diamonds weren't made of cardboard. What were they and do you leave them in as opposed to removing the cardboard pieces? I've never seen those before. Thanks again for sharing this wonderful experience .💙

    Emma, what did you use as the paper backing on each diamond? Love your videos and your artistry. The visit to Beatrix Potter’s home was the best! I am starting several BP quilts this year for future great-grandchildren. My son, who made me a happy grandma through adoption, died in 2021. He loved Peter Rabbit. His children are in their twenties now, and it will be a labor of love to make this for their children. You always inspire. Thank you.🥕
