Cardiff Quilters Exhibition. - going into production...

I'm struggling to find things to show on here right now...

...as most of what is going on in the background is to do with a couple of books that will be published either at the end of 2017 or into 2018.

However....

...my quilting group Cardiff Quilters is celebrating it's 25th birthday this year...

...and we are holding an exhibition at Ararat Baptist Church on the 29th July.

Here's the Quilters' Guild notice if anyone is interested.

There's going to be a Tombola, Raffle and a Sales Table along with some traders.....

...so I'm in production with some handmade notebooks/sketchbooks for the event.

Each one will have a machine-stitched Sashiko square on the front cover...

...which will be made of some of my special "leather paper" dyed specially in a shade of pale blue.

I'll make the pages out of fairly heavy paper so that they'll stand up to collage etc.

I'm hoping to get quite a few done...

...plus a few other bits and pieces too.

Once these are all finished I'll get onto some Tombola gifts...

Try to call by if you can...

...it'll be a great day. :-)

Happy New Year!!

 I wanted to make sure that I did a blog-post on the very first day of 2016.....

.......and will try to post a bit more regularly than I did in 2015!! :-o


As I said back in December, I have had to make some decisions and choices....

...and, that being done, I can now look forward to the rest of the year without the stress that I would otherwise have had.

I have received some very supportive emails from some very dear friends both in the UK and further afield.You know who you are and I love you all!! X

I have made some plans too...

(for 2017)

...a new body of (exhibition) work to be accompanied by a book.

The subject area (very close to my heart) is, of course, OLD ....... and WEIRD!!

I will give snippets when I can....

Nuff said....

...here are the piccies I promised.

My latest finished tri-fold book....

...Laurel Burch Embracing Horses...

I have had these fabric panels in my stash for quite some time and it feels really good to have used them at last!

...and the colours make my heart glad :-)))))

Love to you all.....
