lucie and I are launching a new project creative textile workshops in the turkeyshed - well you can that the turkeys vacated the shed a long time ago! its now been transformed into a wonderful studio just waiting for you to come along and join us for some creative fun. have a look at the website - courses start in September.

panic mode again!


well here I am again just a week away from the festival of quilts and trying to get stuff ready for my stand - why do I always leave it to the last minute to get organised!!!!!!!!!!!!!
here's a sneak preview of some of the book covers I've been making for little notebooks. come and see me in the quilting in action area stand number QIA7

trip to Ryedale

last weekend I went up to Ryedale to speak at the afternoon meeting of Ryedale embroiderers guild, lovely to meet such a great group of stitchers in such a wonderful area. I have to thank my hosts Imelda and jim for looking after me so well and I fell in love with their cavalier spaniels who would do just about anything for a biscuit!

fabric dyeing at Sew Much To Do



lots of fun and creativity at a dyeing day in ely- you can see that it was all under control and no mess left in the work room. a good job it was a hot day and we could get our fabrics dry quickly in the courtyard. can't wait to see what the girls make with their newly coloured cottons.
