Dream in colour, create in fabric, thread, yarn, words, whatever you have to hand
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 […]

needle case sole space for thimble etc pincushion stuffing in toe I think I’ve lost my mojo :( I didn’t have the heart to post my Friday Finishes when everything was the same as my WIP and all I’ve accomplished since Wednesday is this slipper pincushion. One of my Bee friends loves shoes and I […]
