and then there were four

here's our two girls with the new additions amber the springador and pippa the baby flatcoat - ashleigh in control with her dog training skills!

new project

here's a new project almost done. i've been using my technique with the cut and melted kunin felt but instead of tiles i'm working on fossils.

get a copy of my book 'tex-tiles and other treasures' to show you how to do it.

i'm going to make some linking pieces to complete the project - watch this space!

I have been working

inspired by an article by jeanelle mccall in april/may 2011 quilting arts i've made these bright new cushions for the sofa in our new house

got a toy boy

don't worry just my son at tom and lou's wedding - i think copious amounts of wine were involved!

a new friend

still in palmerston north and here i am with erilyn our hostess who is also a very talented quilter. we were made most welcome in her lovely home. here is one of erilyn's sheep and a piece of her work.

a great time at palmerston north

here are some of the ladies at tote and gloat in palmerston north - they were very kind to me when rain literally stopped play, if you haven't heard rain on a tin roof before you will have to try it - you can't even hear yourself think!

its all gone green

i haven't been able to upload photos to the blog for a while just had a frustrating glitch with my pictures but now i'm back and its so exciting to have a green garden - just got to keep it watered now.
