Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday

I did make cards, but I've put them down somewhere, and can't find them.. I have been working hard on this quilt (Tiger In The Morning) for me trip to Holland with Oakshott Fabrics for the OEQC
Pattern soon..
And a finished image.
And the next one, which is a Trees Quilt with Oakshott White Marble fabrics
And lots of other stuff
And more cards..
Sleep tight

Monday's Crumbs and Tuesdays Card, too

Top, Crumbs 3; Bottom, Dressmaking
Teaching all day, tired and eyes are hurting...
And here's the quilt that the crumbs fell from..
Which in turn is the crumbs from another.. Obsessive-compulsive? Me? No!

Sunday 22nd April, More Crumbs

Crumbs 2
Japanese, batik, Oakshott, linen, leftover instructions, all from the edge of the table while I was working on a bigger piece.
Of which more later..

Saturday 21st April, Crumbs

Crumbs 1
Sorry, not a brilliant photo.. Too tired.. I drove almost 1000 miles in the last 8 days, and I'm totally wiped out.

Wednesday Postcard

 Volcanic.  Block print and commercial batik; black printed words on white, distorted to unreadability; prairie points with and without inset lines; hand and machine stitch

And the first of two pieces (seen here in progress) made by cutting and re-assembling a black-on-white and a whitish-on-black screen print pair, with insets of this delicious strawberry red with white spots.
More of these later, when quilted

Tuesday, a bit late to the bits..

Cow Parsley
and the work that inspired it, also called Cow Parsley at present (this is a detail, as it's not bound yet..) Sometimes the titles stick, sometimes not..
£8 including postage worldwide

It's gloriously sunny and freezing cold out.  Tomorrow I drive to the Isle of Wight, to teach and talk.. A sea voyage!  Good for the constitution...

Monday's Card, front and back

I've been experimenting with the Sparkle Punch Quilt pattern, (see the Oh Fransson link on the right), adding my own take on scrappiness and colours - the originals are mostly one-colour/one fabric stars.. Mine have 9 in each colour.. Good for using-up scraps..
Monday's postcard is smaller versions of the blocks (these finish at 2 inches square) and I found this selvedge (I don't usually "do" selvedges) to add to the back, from the last piece I cut for the quilt I'm making..
£11 including postage, or see link on the right for exchanges
Not a great photo of the quilt, sorry, but this is it so far - the columns have been stitched but not the rows.. Looking at it led me to think that an oblong starting block would be interesting.
I'm not sure if this is the middle of a practical quilt or a wall piece.. As it's not my pattern, it's not saleable, of course..
Ah, well, back to the ironing..

Blue skies and rain

It's raining.  The garden drinks and is happy.  I'm indoors and busy. This image from a few days ago in the Spring sunshine
