A Village Quilter

Hi, I've just not been getting much sewing or anything else much done. Very disappointing. But I did manage to get to Compton Verney to see the Alfred Wallis and Ben Nicholson Exhibition . It was well worth the trip - great work and well displayed. I really like his naive style and seeing the work (rather than reproductions) you can see all the texture and appreciate the use of material - cardboard, ply wood, paper - and you could see how he made use of their properties. But this week I intend to crack on and actually make some progress. So I'm struggling to add an image this week - so I've 'borrowed' one of Alfred Wallis' work. I hope you like it.

Hello all. Hope you're well and that your gardens are appreciating the rain - mine has perked up no end. I had a great class yesterday with Linda Miller - what a lovely lady. And I hope to be able to show you the items I'll complete over the next few weeks. And I've also been walking a few times recently and thought you might like to see the photos I took en route. And in a few weeks time its the  Embroiderers Guild Day in Lutterworth - 21st May 2011 . It would be great if you could come along - sounds like it'll be a great day. See you all soon.

Hello all. Another Bank Holiday weekend YAY. Well I'm going to start off with a Royal link that I'm sure, if you haven't seen it already, it'll make you laugh. It makes me laugh every time. Another I'm very pleased to say I've made progress with a UFO. It was the Mystery Quilt we started on one of the last classes with Bren last year. And here we are with the top made. I'm still thinking about what borders to add - or not. I also wanted to let you know about an article in the latest issue of Embroidery. It features an article on Michala Gyetvai who's a member of the Leamington Emboierers' Guild. She has a great blog too that you might want to have a look at. So - I'll leave you to enjoy the rest of thye Bank Holiday weekend and yet more glorious weather.
