Sail Boats in Knit Wits Window

Every two weeks the window display in Knit Wits

gets a complete revamp and new ideas and purchases

are put in the window.

This next weeks theme is Nautical and all things Seaside.

So as you can see my Sailboats quilt is in the window,

advertising the new fabric department and the

quilting lessons that start in September.

I will be doing two days in August in the shop.

The 4th and 11th to meet people and demonstrate

my work.

OOOh how lovely to be surrounded by all that

fabric!!!

Card Making Wednesday

On Wednesday it was card making class with Kim.

We were given the choice of a quote

and had to make a card from that as our starting point.

This quote resinated with me from my

creative point of view.

The butterfly has been stamped on vellum and

the bottom picture is inside the card flap.

I have also put a detail on the back and signed it.

Wool Batts have arrived

When I got home from teaching @The Gallery,

my neighbour came round and handed me a parcel.

I was so pleased, as it was the Wool Batts I had ordered from

World of Wool late Friday afternoon.

They are so beautiful and ready to use for felting.

You can also get synthetic wools for using on the embellisher.

This stash is for my wet felting demo at the weekend.

I would recommend World of Wool for their service

and prices.

Barbara and Crazy Patchwork

Barbara was inspired by a crazy patchwork quilt she saw in

a book and wanted to make it in a heart shape

for a gift for her Aunt and Uncle's 60th

wedding Anniversary.

I took in my crazy patchwork throw for

stitch and beading inspiration.

Books are great and a fantastic starting point

but if you have the article in front of you to

see and handle it makes creating far easier.

Gallery Tuesday 27th July 2011

part of Textile Tuesday @ The Gallery is finishing work and

sharing the achievement.

Brenda can only do her textile work @ The Gallery

due to her busy life schedule.

As some of you may know she has finished many articles

which have been very beautiful and

this week she finished a Knitting Needle Case Roll and

a Needle Case to match in strip patchwork.

As they are a gift she made them in all shades of purple,

her friends favourite colour.

She gave her Grand Daughter her Pink Crazy Patchwork

cushion at the weekend as it was her Birthday and she was

thrilled. Brenda is now making her daughter a cushion

in browns. This is the start and the embellishments

are to be added.

Well done Brenda. It is so good to be able to share

our creations.

Blessing for friendship!
