Purple Sketchbook Cover

This sketchbook cover started as a piece of

strip patchwork which I had quilted all over with stitches.

I then stamped leaves on the green contrasting squares

with 'Staz On' Ink and ironed to fix the ink.

These were then over sewed these to the front and back.

I added a lot more darker purple stitches to add more detail

and definition.

Purple Striped Needlecase

I am teaching Patchwork and Quilting Class

at Knit Wits in Dereham,

starting on the 8th of September with

a beginners class.

I will be running through the basics of P and Q

each week and this week we started with "Strips".

This case is one of the starter projects so students

will have something to put their needles, pins and

small scissors in it.

It is now in the window advertising the classes.

Purple Textile Items

On Wednesday 7th of September I had a

studio day and made several pieces to add to

the items I needed to show at the new classes.

I made a needlecase, sketchbook cover, folded bag

and a sample of striped textile for another case.

I have really enjoyed having a 'Makey Day', with

these colour combination.

Textile Tuesday

It was so busy @The Gallery I only managed to

take a couple of photos of the work done.

Pat has finished the mixed media textile at

the top. It really is a stunning piece.

Barbara has made a charity quilt in the

last couple of weeks, for

LIfeline 4 Chernobyl.

It is lovely and contains lots of hidden treasures

such as a square which has a pocket and

another with embroidery.

Busy Gallery Tuesday

On the 6th of September it was the first day back

for the Autumn Season @The Gallery.

It was a very busy day and lots of the students

wanted to start new projects and had lots of ideas.

Sara who you can just see above is going to study

textiles so is learning all the different types of

techniques and how to develop an art

sketchbook.

She likes purple too!

Car Tagged

On Monday 5th of September I took the

car into Downham Market to

'HE Signs Ltd', to have my website put on the

back tyre cover.

The cover has had a car sales logo on it for years

and I thought,

it was about time I advertised my work.

Ollie, did a great job and it looks cool!

A bit of free advertising as I travel around.

The amount of time you are stuck behind traffic

and start reading whats on the van in front.

So I thought it was about time I did the same.

Subtle though, just the wording,

A tip: I haven't put my name or

telephone number on it as it is the family car!!!!
