Look at what arrived in the post today from Mimu in America.
Thought you would like to see the detail of Pat's layering. 
This one of Pat's mixed media cards which she has made for a friend's birthday.
Pat's Mixed Media Angel. A sample to see how the pieces go together and colours.
Pat, working hard on her multi media background for her Angel. 
Look at how far Carol has come in one month!
As promised a picture of Carol piecing her final strips together for her Quillo.
This is Carol's first ever Quilt. She chose some Japanese Brocade Silks which really pushed the cutting and sewing machine skills to the maximum for a beginner but wow! look at what she has achieved.
Carol has come every Tuesday for the last month either in a morning or afternoon session and has worked hard at home cutting and piecing when she could.
Check out The Gallery for the other artists available,
Look what was in the post when I got home! a Cream on Cream ATC from Diana in New Zealand. 
Spent Monday morning making some more Craft Tidy's, so I can take them to the Gallery. In the end I hope each place will have there own. This will cut down the trips to the bin, hopefully and be really nifty!
The pattern for the Scissor Case looks very Japanese, I just had to photograph them in a fan shape.
All they need now are their buttons to secure the tab and keep the scissors and Rotary Cutter in place. I love the triple pockets!
Thank you again Pat! and everyone who made our workshop day such a success.
I am so pleased with my Tidy and Case it's already in use. 
These are our finished Sewing Tidy's and Scissor Cases.
It made us all feel very happy seeing all of them lined up. They are all so different!
Thank you Pat for being such a wonderful teacher.
Today we had a wonderful Alveva workshop day with Pat and were joined by some of Rainbow Quilters too! We made a sewing tidy in the morning and in the afternoon we made a scissor case.
This is looking through the archway, from what I call my 'Monks Secret Garden' to the top of the vegetable garden. Secret because it is enclosed and there is a seat in a rose arbour where I like to hide and read! Monks because it is full of herbs, a wooden lecturn and a pew seat. I based it on the herb and vegetable gardens on the terraces of St Mount Michelle in France.
This is near the top of Quilters Cottage garden. The greenhouse, polytunnel and working area is beyond this. Today we weeded and prepared the soil for late potatoes and red onions. The long bed is asphagus and will be starting to come up soon. I just love asphagus! there is also a raspberry bed, trimmed and tied up in hopeful expectation!
