well another mad week is coming to an end! Some updates, my sister had her op, and it was a great success which after last year was a great relief to all of us. She had it done by keyhole, and the day surgery department in Winchester was very efficient, I dropped her off at […]
Thanks for all the lovely comments, I will make sure my father in law reads all the lovely things : ) I guess reading back I have managed to achieve a fair amount, it doesn’t feel like it though, I finished off four bags yesterday, and more to do today, but I thought I would […]
It doesn’t surprise me that it has been a week since I last did a new entry on here, it seems to have been non-stop here, but in the process of that, not enough has been achieved. I have made another quilt, I made this to give a better indication of the puckering effect that […]
I think my quilt making is very much in the contemporary bracket! I don’t think I have the time, the patience, or probably worst, the inclination to produce a beautiful traditional quilt. I love the idea, but I don’t think I have the stomach to make one myself! It isn’t the size, because I would […]
about my little Creative Textile course : ) This was the third week of the course, and we have had 2 weeks of making felt, and this week we worked on embellishing the felt! It has been really enjoyable, I have found it to be really interesting to be in the role of ‘teacher’, and […]
as I mentioned yesterday I tried to make some nuno felt, and the first piece was wrong, and I really knew that as soon as I had made it! Maybe it had something to do with the fact that there was only wool on one side, duh! So I tried again, using the same wool […]
well I am if you think that a soft thing that holds pins is a friend! Well in my book, and today, yes, it is! Last week I showed off the tasty combination of tweed and suede, and there it is, in all its lovely tactile loveliness! There are three of these, but the other […]
yep, more trees, I like trees, and I guess at this time of year I’m even more inspired by them, there are three of these, orange, red/brown and green, and I’m adding some patterned pieces to them as well, I’m very pleased with them so far, they are certainly a progression of some of my […]
not as kinky as it might sound : ) lets do the list first! William is starting to write more lists, and I think this can only increase the closer we get to birthday and Christmas time! However he has worked on ideas for teatime in our house, and this is what he has come […]
I guess with September here, back to school, and mornings like this, it really does feel like it! The start of Autumn also means the busiest time of the year for me, hopefully! And it started last Thursday, when I started teaching my Creative Textiles course : ) It is a six week course, the […]
