A Village Quilter

Hi all, I've been busy finishing off some bits and bobs, you know projects not far off being finished after a class, zips in cushions that were bursting etc.  I have some more photos to show you from the show that I really liked. I hope you like them too. Still some more to follow...

Hello all. So - I went to the FoQ yesterday and had a really good time.  As usual I've taken loads of phtotos and will blog them bit by bit.  So here are the first lot. Art Textiles: Made in Britain are exhibiting at FoQ with the theme of Identity. As part of this they decided to make mood boards, which I think really sum up each of the artists. And I love this piece by Hilary Beatti e.  More to follow...

Yes - we were there. Were you? It was amazing. So here are some photos of the two stages we saw in Harrogate and Knaresborough.   Yes -that's knitted jumper bunting      Yes - Yorkshire Tea Yes - that's a polka dot Miffy.  There were also green, yellow and white jersey wearing Miffys.  Does anyone know where you can find a bottle of wine that big?

Just to show I've been making something.  On of the girls at work is due to give birth very soon and I'm making  a few things - so here is a ball. Please note the fussy cut fabric... very pleased it worked out OK. And here are some cards that will be for sale at the Lutterworth Embroiderers Guild Feast Week Exhibition in August - more details to follow. Also thought you might like to see some of the scarecrows that are part of the scarecrow trail in our village this weekend.   

Hi, it's me the rubbish blog posting lady!  I have been busy - no really I have. I had a great time last week at The Bramble Patch with a couple of lovely ladies at an Angie Hughes class. The Bramble Patch has had some building work done so if you haven't been for a while have a look as it means it has lots more fabric and some new lines of thread.  You can sign up for their weekly news letter or follow them on Facebook. I've had a few classes with Angie and really enjoy them.  She's very generous sharing her skills and she always brings lots of kit for you to try out. We attended the Tantalising Tag Book class.  And here is mine and some others work.  I'll post my completed tags very soon:
