Blue Moon Postcards
The postcards for 'The Blue Moon' collection is now available to buy atI have 60 available at the moment and I am able to despatch large orders at cost price plus postage for the amount required.
Made Embellished Felt
After making a stew for tea I settled down to embellish!! This felt was made the layered and wet method during the Summer last year. I make a batch of different colour backgrounds. I embellished this one with twisted wool tops with the Embellisher and then embroidered and beaded. I love the feel of stitching made felt.I think I will continue to embellish further at another time.
Seaweed Stitching
This morning Stewart and I went and cleared a section of the woods, near where we live. The trees had come down across the walkway. We loaded up the trailer and spent most of the morning chopping and adding to the wood pile. So this afternoon I needed to sit and sew. I added some more ribbon stitches to 'Seaweed' burnt round the edges of the open weave fabric (when doing this be careful of smoke and have water near by!). I then added a base of made fibre paper.Thursday, 4 February 2010
Lexi's Quilt
Lexi's Quilt cut out. 3 inch squares cut with the rotary cutter, trim borders and the bias binding.Fabric for Baby Lexi
My friend Michelle who I went to College with is having a baby girl due on the 18th of Feb but as we all know they choose their own time to come into the world.Michelle has just brought her carrycot/pushchair and of course it needs some nice bedding to go with it. The pushchair/carrycot is one of those new fangle things that opens and closes needing a science degree but looks very modern with a hot pink go faster stripe down the middle!
This is Michelle's first girl and Cori her son is 15,
Ooooo, Michelle is in for some fun!!!!!!
Fabric washed and ready so I am busy making a quilt today and Michelle is having back niggles!!.

WOOSP'S,At The Gallery Tuesday 2nd Feb
Ladies embellishing at The Gallery Dereham. We made up a new word " WOOSPS", for the wool tops that were used to lay on top and embellish in. This was often followed by a giggle and then laughter. I had another lovely day and my postcards went on sale! they will be for sale on my website shortly.http://www.art2nspire.co.uk/
In March I will be leading workshops on different techniques.
Visit http://www.thegallerydereham.co.uk/ shortly for siging up details.
Labeling The Pieces
The quilt is nearly finished but theres the edges to do! not easy because you have to turn a hexagon edge into a straight edge. So half lozenges and quarter lozenges needed. We labelled them to colour co-ordinate them and then sew them in.Jane was wonderful she threaded her needle and started immediately!
We had such a lovely evening and Barbara had made apple cake and flapjack's, yum!
Thank you dear friends for sharing!
Nearly A Hexagon Quilt
The quilt was revealed just afterChristmas. Barbara B had taken it away and seemed to have had a sew in marathon!
