Warwickshire Open Studios and Lynda Monk

Yes. It's that time of year again. Warwickshire Open Studios
If you're able to visit any of the artists please do, I'm sure you'll have as great a time as I did today.
My first visit was to Sew Arty. A great shop, with lots of classes and lots of things to buy too. I managed to limit myself to 4 reels of thread.
And then off to see Jo Roberts.
I know when I go to visit I will see something 'mappy and lifey', but I'm never sure quite how she'll bring the elements together.

This project was Jo's record of 70 days.  It's really interesting and funny. 
The next photo is her current project with David Southwell.  Do look at her blog to see how each of them interpret a word. Another beautiful project.
Jo was very welcoming and made a great cup of tea in a beautiful china cup and saucer.
I then popped over to Charkha Yarns.
And here are my purchases - rather restrained I thought.
 I should also let you all know I attended a talk by Lynda Monk last week at the Lutterworth Embroiderers Guild. 
She produces some amazing work - and I could hardly keep up with her description of techniques.  Here are a few photos.

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.
