The quilt is finished! And the back. I’ve enjoyed it. Taken my time quilting it. Decided I didn’t like the orange half way through. Thought it would take forever about two thirds through. Got fed up quilting it. Felt sad when it was all over as now I have nothing to quilt. Decided perhaps the […]

Good Grief
Just when I thought I was safe. Just when I was going to buckle down and finish Hope’s quilt. I had to go and watch this. (here) Man! Well fortunately I’m just an evening quilter so once I get the back done and sandwiched I’ll be able to get back out to the jewelry studio. […]
This is today.
I finished sewing the flowers on the quilt last week, but then I just had to have a jewelry moment. Also, a housecleaning moment! Who knew that would happen. Have to take advantage of that when I can. I changed my studio rooms around a couple of weeks ago, and am really enjoying not being so cramped. […]
And what exactly happened here?
You went into the quilt shop for white background fabric, and? So you’re trying to tell me that tangerine is the new white? O.K. I’ll buy that. – Amazingly tidy quilt table. Look at it now, because it won’t last long. – First cup of tea. (Actually my third. I’d already had two before I […]
The line up – revealed.
But first. Today’s cup of tea. Well, one of them. I’m usually a four cup a day girl. So, Here are the five great, Hope’s Quilt, bonanza flowers that have made the final cut. Except maybe this green one. Which might need a little something more. See, compared to the others, it’s a little too […]
So if you promise not to tell anyone …
I cheat when it comes to making my quilts. BUT, Really, what’s cheating anyway? It’s not like I’m taking an exam or anything. My problem is, I’ve too many quilt designs inside of me, and not enough years in my life to get them all out. I’ve made loads the conventional way, and now I […]
Now we get to the part of the programme called, Tell me again. How exactly do you work like that?
(Or, Don’t worry E, I’ve started it now). – Since May I had decided to make Hope, my 5-year-old niece, a quilt, and, although I had started doodling ideas I never really got any further with it. Well, as E pointed out, it needs to seriously get started if it’s going to get to Hope […]
Everything going at once.
New quilt design for Hope. My 5 year old niece. It’s getting there. – Paintings. Could they be more different from each other? – Jewelry. Charms. All of which created in a complete mess. But I fixed it. Now it’s boring. Fortunately it won’t take me a nano second to get it back to […]
I’ve been away.
And it’s been great. Refreshed, revamped, and re everything else that I can’t think of right now. O.K. perhaps not exactly revamped, but I’m working on it. I’ve been thinking of going caveman again, except this time with a tiny amendment. Only a tiny one though. Otherwise everything goes to pot and I’m not a […]
Sick and Sorrowful.
This is what happens when you’re sick. But, because you still want to play you gouge yourself with one of these. Things then go from bad to worse until you give it up and go lay down on the sofa to feel super sorry for yourself yet thankful you haven’t cut your fingers off completely. […]
Just some doodles today.
This one cracks me up. He looks so frightened. – I made this one into a rubber stamp. He also looks a little worried. He’s friends with the banner bird in my title. It’s safe to say, we have overload again. So much fun to make all of these things, and so little time to […]
Modigliani, James Bond, and, giant apes.
Modigliani is one of my favourite artists. I have quite a lot of favourite artists, but, his work gets me every time. I have a huge poster of one of his paintings in my quilt room, and, now this is my phone wallpaper. Makes me want to use my phone all of the time. Do […]
