I do get things finished...

Hello all.

Hope you're enjoying this continued fab weather. We British really are obsessed with it aren't we.

So - here's my evidence that I do get things finished. Here's my Olympic postcard for the Embroiders offering to the Olympiad. One of the countries our group has is Cuba and I decided to represent the cultural side of things and illustrate ballet. So here we are:

I used soluble fabric as a base for the ballet shoes. And just so there was no confusion beaded the word 'ballet'.

I've also finished another altered book page - but won't be able to show you these until the end of the project.

So now - just one more altered book page and then I can look at my Angie Hughes UFO. Oh it never ends does it. LOL.

Take care all.

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...

Hi - you can now find me at: sarahtextileart.blogspot.com

At long last ......

At long last it's finished. My first large (96 x 78 inches) quilt. I'm really pleased with the pieced binding. It took a while to finish off - but I really like it. I've still got a bit of tidying up and I need to add a label - but the hard slog is finished. So I feel a bit lost now without a huge quilt to sit and stitch when I fancy. You can see from below I've already got the fabric for my next project from Strawberry Fayre. And yet again it was great service - really fast. I've washed the fabric and now it needs a good press. I also need to make sure I think about how the cut the fabric so I don't end up with lots of bits. The larger pieces I'll piece to make the back.
