Gallery Visit
After my last visit to the gallery several months ago I was a bit apprehensive as to how long I would be able to walk when we set out. But, I managed to drive into town, which is a 2 hours drive. Start at the coffee shop, with a coffee and small cake. And visit three exhibitions before I ...
They will take a few weeks to make.

I have just been doing a bit of surfing and look what I found? You can get the pattern over on Little Cotton Rabbits. I have already purchased mine.

Thinking about Xmas
I was serious about that "thinking about Xmas" quote. I really do need to start on some simple projects that I can use as Xmas gifts. I normally stitch something for my ex teaching colleagues and I don't want to repeat anything that I have already done. Then I remembered that Mary Corbet had...

There hasn't been too much that I could talk about over the last few weeks. Firstly, I have good days and bad days and there seems to have been more of the latter over this time. I am back on the knitting. Front, back and two sleeves up to the armhole. Now I have started the yoke. I will get...

Buttonhole pin wheels.
At my patchwork group last week people were asked to bring some old family textiles. It is amazing what people have in their cupboards. Most of the ladies had old baby clothes and a smattering of wedding dresses dating back to the 1800's. But one lady had an embroidered linen cloth worked by ...
Thanks Rachel.

It's in the bag
There were times I didn't think I was going to finish this quilt but it is now in it's bag and stored in the guest room for my paddlers. So it is called "the paddler's quilt." I made it's storage bag from the left over fabric, which means I know what quilt it is without having to open it and...
Hope it stops those looks.

Family has taken over
My eldest son, father of my grand daughters, had a serious workplace accident . After much to do he ended up with a major operation on his spine. It has been rather tense here wondering if he would end up in a wheel chair but to date everything seems to be going well. The big problem is keepi...

I am waiting, not too patiently, for the arrival of my new book by Sue Briscoe. (Image source: Book Depository) There was reference and one project in her original book (2005) on Sashiko Emboidery to Kogin Embroidery, but this was omitted in the later editions. (Image source: Book Deposit...
