Received a textile postcard today

It was like christmas had come early today when I saw my post. Amongst the bills was the most beautiful textile postcard produced by Lorna. Hope she likes the postcard I made and sent her.

The Open studio is coming to a close

This open studio may be coming to a close , but I am still busy getting ready for an exhibition in Northamptonshire. I have been looking through my box of uncompleted work, one of which is a quilt which I must consider finishing.

Little Bouquet Quilt Along

While cruising through the Quilting Gallery blogs recently and was stopped in my tracks by this beauty, a scrappy wall hanging that looks like oodles of fun to make. Well, it turns out I'm not the only one who feels this way. Due to many requests, Cherry House Quilts is hosting a Quilt Along so we can learn how she made this. I'm so excited!

The supplies list will likely be publicized this weekend. Go to… Continue

progress - at last

Monday, July 13 – sunny and not too hot

I finished warping the baby blanket on Saturday. I plan the start weaving in the morning.

17 days until I leave on vacation and I want to have this done, fulled and to Lina by then.

I’d like to say more, but the phones are going crazy.

Ribbon Embroidery Classes online.

I like the classes that Barbara at Joggles.com offers, and Shanon Boggon is one of my favourite tutors. So when I read that Sharon was doing Silk Embroidery, I just couldn't say no.

Lesson one was easy, thank heavens, as it's getting busy in this household now, preparing to go home, nice and simple detatched chain stitches, stem stitch and leaf stitch. The colours recommended (as they are daisy's) was yellow, but I have only maves, so here is my piece. I like it, delicate spray of… Continue

TAST

Taking the plunge and have joined TAST [Take a Stitch Tuesday] I have been thinking about creating a personal stitch dictionary for some time and I thought this would be a good way to get started.

2009. The year of focus

I have a starting problem. I start too many projects. I was hoping this would be the year that I began to focus on finishing up more of what I have started. Most years, in the past 10 which I actually kept track, I have ended the year with a net increase of 20 to 25 projects a year. The math is dismaying and my project crates are groaning.

The focus plan started in January last until May. In May I tried a shorter list. June added 4 new starts to the list.

July is brand… Continue
