Thread Paintings...

Hello,

A bit of fabric and acrylic inks all sewn on watercolour paper using my trusty sewing machine.

Bye for now.

Quilt Cover and Pillows

Hello,

This week I've been very busy making our quilt cover for our bed. I ordered the fabric from a London based fabric store, Ray-Stitch. The store carries lots of great items for the sewing enthusiasts. The printed fabrics I used were from Anna Maria Horner's line and Joel Dewberry's line. Both are American designers, so I was glad I was able to order them from a store in the UK. I got the quilt pattern from Anna Maria's website- The Log Mansion Quilt.  I also made pillow cases for the accent pillows. It was the biggest sewing project I've ever done and I'm quite happy with how it's all turned out.

 Now I can sleep soundly knowing it's all done.

Bye for now.

A quick post before I call it a night...

Hello,

I decided to take the day off yesterday from blogging and just relax with my family.

Here's a photo of me at the Swindon Arts Centre Craft Fair with my lovely artwork.

On either side of me were two very lovely and talented jewellery designers.

Quilt Cover Update: 

The fabric arrived a couple of days ago; I was very excited. I started sewing the pieces together today. I'll take some photos tomorrow and post them to let you know how I'm doing.
