Busy busy busy


So here is the finished item I was teasing you wit on one of my previous posts. It was a cushion I made for a friend for her birthday. She was really please with it.
I've also spent the last 2 days at the Bramble Patch with Sheena Norquay - and here are the results from the end of day one:
We started by using an array of items to print with on my dyed fabric. We used lids, corks, screws, cotton reels and cotton buds. I promise to post the results when I've finished it. I've also managed to  master the use of metallic thread - I had a bit of an issue with it and have been rather nervous about using it.  But I can only say I can free motion quilt with metallic thread. Yay.
And I'll be off to Bramble Patch again on Saturday for another lovely day with Bren.
Hope you're all enjoying the sunshine.

Really interesting circles. The cushion is gorgeous.
Lovely gift for your friend Sarah. I'd be interested in knowing which courses you would recommend at The Bramble Patch - they all sound intriguing - I can never decide which interests me the most.

Dennis...

...well unfortunately Dennis died last month. Although we were very upset at the time we realise he had a very happy long life (18 years) and he spent his last day in the garden sunning himself . Everyone who came to the house met him - whether they wanted to or not; he was very friendly . So here are a last few photos of him looking like the fat happy orange cat that he was...

How exciting

Hello all. I had a very nice e-mail yesterday telling me I was in October's British Patchwork & Quilting magazine as their featured blog of the month. And yes I'm there on page 68. A very nice surprise as I had no idea my little old blog would make a national publication. So if any of you are looking at my blog for the first time please do leave a comment - I'd love to hear from you.
