and then...




As light relief I have started on the next candy wrapper item - or crisp packets actually - as they seem to work best - and I like the silver better than the multi coloured for this one.

 a candy wrapper purse - the prototype worked out pretty well - it's very tactile and surprisingly soft and squashy

Attic windows


I started a new project after the big clean. My inspiration was Attic windows from this book




I think the orange border really sets it off nicely –


eeek !

Quilting and Stuff


I'm just starting this blog as others have inspired me with their works. So if you find anything that makes you move on to that next piece - please share....

This quilt is a work in progress - I am at the DECISION stage -is it finished? or what/where to quilt? - I'm thinking of quilting patterns in each of the white squares - but i sort of like it plain. I think i will leave it for a day or 2 and leave it laid out - maybe that will help?
