Dream in colour, create in fabric, thread, yarn, words, whatever you have to hand
My regular readers are probably fed up of seeing this quilt because I only made it about a week ago and I blogged about it last week. If I’d thought about it, I should have waited for a few days before posting but I’ve decided to enter my Magical Midwinter Quilt into the Blogger’s Quilt […]

Today is the 25th of the month so it’s time to link up with Fiona for New to me in 2013. Last month I thought I hadn’t tried anything new (although afterwards I remembered the fusible wadding!) so I’ve been keeping a mental note, this month, of things that are new to me. I began […]
