sneak preview

 four new small quilts based on vivaldi's four seasons ready for a new exhibition at the knitting and stitching shows - not quite finished yet but i'm really pleased with them. i don't think the photos will show all the detail, mostly machine work but there is quite a lot of surface stitchery.

something interesting

I've been playing with this T-shirt transfer stuff, printed off some of the bristol tiles photos and then torn up the plasticy stuff, made a collage and ironed it on to a fabric base

et voila! a mosaic to cut up and use as you wish - fantastic!

big freeze

Well it snowed

and snowed



then the temperature dropped to -14'




so now we have

these amazing ice scuptures



fantastic source material for projects

I haven't been blogging for a while - not sure why - but I have a  load of stuff to show you so will try to catch up.

panic mode

 the bristol tile project started so well with my early completion of the triptych piece
then it all went a bit pear shaped and now i'm in panic mode trying to get 3 quilts finished and posted to usa by the end of the month!!!!!!!!!!!

perhaps i work better with a bit of stress.

 

Electric Forest

 

last night we went into thetford forest to see the light effects at high lodge, quite amazing and what inspiration for some magical pieces of work

another helmet and a house



hoo's spirit II

 well i enjoyed playing with the lutrador helmet so thought i'd have another go just for me as the commission will be going next week


the view from here

 the second house is finished (just about) the drive and turf have been done and its all looking very smart, just need someone to fall in love with it now - any buyers out there?

mission accomplished

at last i've got hoo's spirit finished, yes there is a lot of work in it but i keep getting waylaid by other projects-bit of a butterfly brain i think!
