Dream in colour, create in fabric, thread, yarn, words, whatever you have to hand
I love Really Random Thursdays and all week I seem to notice things that strike me as perfect for a RRT post but then, somehow, on Thursdays my mind goes blank and I forget whatever I was going to write about. So, today, I thought I’d share part of a post from a blog I […]

This week I’ve finished a Bee Block – Winged Square for Jess using a tutorial by Amy at During Quiet Time and Jess’ colour choices. I adore this block! And I added the sea bed, bottom layer to this for Jan. I also finished a small wall hanging – Eat, Sleep, Sew! And this is what […]

For my second entry in the Bloggers Quilt Festival, I really wanted to enter my Tradewinds Quilt, which I made around Christmas as a gift for my eldest daughter. But, unfortunately, I only had inside, Winter photos, which really didn’t do justice to the beautiful fabrics. 1. Trade Winds Finished Rolled, 2. Trade Winds Finished, 3. […]

I was wondering about what to enter into the Quilt Festival at Amy’s Creative Side and I suddenly remembered my ‘old man and the sea’ wall hanging. Unfortunately, I only have dull Winter photos because I made it in December and gave it to my son, who lives by the sea in Portsmouth. I’ve decided […]

I was too tired to concentrate on another bee block, though, and I noticed my box of solid scraps was looking very blue so I […]
Read More…If you’ve been following my blog lately, you might not be surprised to see my design-wall-piano is still going with the Bee theme. Today I finished the mug block, above for Sana in the Star of Africa Bee. She is making a wall hanging with the theme ‘Home is where the heart is’. I made […]
Read More…An oak tree for Brinda… A scrappy squares star and strippy heart for Dena…and some hst blocks for Nicky. I resolved to sew nothing but bee blocks until I got up to date so I have nothing to show except bee blocks! But they’re finished and it’s Friday so these are my Friday Finishes for […]
Read More…I’ve just realised it’s Thursday and I’d nearly forgotten about randomness! So two random things this week… 1. I’ve been meaning to ask someone/everyone about this email from blogger… Is this a good idea or is this how people inadvertently become noreplybloggers? 2. I had a quick look through my photos to see if I could find anything interesting […]
