MILLYPENNY: An Grianan
http://millypenny.blogspot.com/2014/09/an-grianan.html
Tuesday, September 30, 2014. A few weeks ago, I spent the weekend at An Grianan with a group of like-minded friends. We had great fun over the weekend, either sewing or messing around with dyes and paints. It was lovely to have a venue where you could keep working and have your meals served up to you, so no time wasted in cooking etc. I forgot to take many photographs as I was messing around around with gloves, dyes and paints. A photo from our Show and Tell meeting on the Saturday night. Dawnput your ha...

MILLYPENNY: Gender Stereotypes
http://millypenny.blogspot.com/2015/02/gender-stereotypes.html
Monday, February 2, 2015. I made this quilt "Gender Stereotype" for the Cork Textile Network "In Unison" exhibition that was held in December. Most of the fabric in this piece was jelly-printed. Not printed with the gelli-plates but with a block of real jelly (Chivers Jelly) which works surprisingly well for printing. I have a number of quilts in progress at the moment, but most of them can't be shown yet (round robin projects, exhibition quilts etc.). Monday, February 02, 2015. View my complete profile.

MILLYPENNY: July 2014
http://millypenny.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 1, 2014. Using up left-over fabrics. My scraps are are building up (scrap box is filled to capacity) so decided last week that I'd better do something to use them up. Found my Scrap Republic booklet by Emily Cier and came across this Volume quilt project in it. It's a great way to use up scraps, arrange them all by colour. I'm nearly there, just have to make the purple and black strips. Tuesday, July 01, 2014. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Ennis, Co. Clare, Ireland. View my complete profile.

Pie in the Sky Crochet: June 2010
http://pie-in-the-sky-crochetcreation.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Pie in the Sky Crochet. Thursday, June 17, 2010. Easy chain lace scarf. In 2004 I designed this chain lace scarf for a beginners crochet class. Around that time fantasy yarn, all hairy and fuzzy, came into fashion in Ireland. Everyone loved the yarn but found it difficult to crochet with because it's not easy to see the stitches. This pattern is based on the chain lace filling from traditional Irish crochet lace. I used 1 ball (200g) Marble Chunky by James C. Brett, colour Jeweltones and 5mm hook. If the...
