from me to you
or a giveaway!
For the creative textile course I ran in September I had to make some example mini art/craft quilts, and one of them was this one,
I really like this one a great deal, it was the first one I made, but I also would like someone else to enjoy it as well.
I did think about selling it, but there is one place on the back where the bias binding is not quite as I would like, and I only sell items that I think are perfect, so would you like to what is a ‘second’ I guess!
Ha ha, no really it isn’t awful, one bit didn’t get caught under as it should have done, but the piece is completely held together.
It measures 10″ x 12″ and has a hanging system on the back.
So are you interested? If you would like to enter the lucky dip, please leave a comment, this will be open until this Thursday (30th) at midnight (GMT)!!

Oh wow! I used to have a jewellery box in that backing fabric. I love the mini quilt and now I am tempted to try my own.

This is really lovely! I’m so glad I spotted your work in the Handmade UK pool on flickr : )
I really like the colours and fabrics you have used in this piece and the sense of movement you have created with the stitching. I’m away to look at some more of your creations now. Thanks, Aileen.
28th October 2008 @ 2:07 pm
I saw this on Flickr too and think it’s lovely! I just finished my first quilt and the corners of the binding turned out a bit wonky, so I know what you mean about feeling everything needs to be perfect.
Throw my name in the hat while I wander around your site and look at pretty things!
28th October 2008 @ 2:07 pm
oh, i think it’s lovely. i love the trees.
28th October 2008 @ 2:14 pm
That piece is just wonderful!! Your talent is awesome. Have you thought of doing patterns for your designs?????????
28th October 2008 @ 2:19 pm
Oh my gracious. I have admired this from afar! I love the peaceful colours. I know just where I would hang it!
28th October 2008 @ 3:02 pm
If you are willing to ship to the USA I would be happy to give it a new home!
28th October 2008 @ 3:03 pm
Having come along to your wonderful textiles course, and having made my own (shabby)attempt at quilting, I have begun to truly appreciate the skills involved in creating such a beautiful piece of art. Your eye for colour and design shines through; I look upon your creations with envy eyes! Please add my name to the list : )
28th October 2008 @ 3:37 pm
I love your work and all ready been a proud owner of one of your bags, I feel the quilt will feel quite at home here!

Oooooh! I love this! When I first saw it, it made me think of my family. There are four of us, and – for some reason – these trees just automatically made me think of the four of us standing together. Consider my name tossed in the hat as well – this is gorgeous!
28th October 2008 @ 4:15 pm
This beautiful artwork inspired me when I attended your textile course. And I’m still inspired – I have just completed a second mini-quilt! If I was fortunate enough to be picked out of the hat, I could be inspired for life!

This is a very cleverly constructed piece of work. I love the subject, the wonderful movement in the skies and the feeling of deep perspective. The variety of colours and textures make it a really super work of art. All your pieces are wonderful works of art!

Neat little quilt. I especially like your perspective, the use of bird and apple fabrics. And the method for hanging. I’ve often struggled to figure a good way to hang a small quilt. Kudos.

Hi raspberry
Your work is really so inspiring and it has encouraged me to get out my machine and fabric box out, but nothing I do could possibly leave the house. . . ive been reading your posts for a while but not contributed to the community here much so I wont be cheeky and ask to be added to the draw, but I would love details on when you run your next textiles course though.
