Tuesday, 26 February 2008. Blue and green should never be seen? That's the theme of this weeks challenge over on the Papertake. Blog I often use blue and green together, I think it's a lovely colour combination! The patterned paper is from the K&Co 'Small Wonders Boy' range and the main image is a Magnolia stamp. I cut down the Magnolia stack of gifts to make a smaller stack and mounted them on foam pads - the stamped definition is on foam pads too. I think green and blue look pretty cool together! Gosh,...

tillymint's desk: worn and washed quilt
http://tillymintsplace.blogspot.com/2012/05/worn-and-washed-quilt.html
Wednesday, 23 May 2012. Worn and washed quilt. It all started with this. I was at Quilts UK at Malvern last week and had stood and gazed in awe at the fabulous quilts on display. Absolutely stunning they were, so much work had gone into them all. They were all worthy of first prize ribbons. But. they were so perfect that I just couldn't visualise them on a bed in my own home. They were just too lovely to be used. know what I mean? If you had told me last week that I'd be hand quilting a quilt I'd have ho...

Purple - Jacob's Ladder. No sewing to show you this time. though in the evenings I have been busy working on the Worn and Washed quilt.

tillymint's desk: Two finishes!
http://tillymintsplace.blogspot.com/2012/06/two-finishes.html
Friday, 15 June 2012. After the gorgeous weather at the end of last month, it turned cooler and much, much wetter. very windy too. Definitely not gardening weather. so what better excuse to settle down in my sewing room and sew, sew, sew! I have finished my Worn and Washed quilt! It took hours and hours and hours to do all the hand quilting, but I am so pleased with it and am determine to do more hand quilting in the future. All that rhythmic stitching really is very addictive :). Have a great weekend,.

Tuesday, 24 April 2012. Garden Journal top is done! Hope everyone is having a good week. Thursday, 19 April 2012. A parcel and a pincushion. I've just been to the Post Office to send this swap parcel on it's way. the clerk said it would take about 5 days to arrive. If you signed up for Heidi's Quilters Day Swap. then this might be for you! I must be strong. I must not start anything else just now. sound familiar? But I confess I had a little break to make this sweet Cathedral Window pincushion. I might j...

Monday, 28 January 2008. The challenge over at the Scrummy Stash Cafe. This week is to use ribbons. I've got a huge box of ribbons but isn't it always the way that I never have exactly the right shade I need. so I go and buy more! I just can't resist them. a metre of this, a metre of that.and I must have some of that one. it's like buying pick and mix sweeties! I tried to make it a bit more interesting by twirling the tails on the bow :-) ). Sunday, 27 January 2008. Daring Cardmakers - foiled! One of the...
