Mid winter stitching

 

It’s midwinter here in Australia.

Heading to the shortest day of the year but there is still a bit 

of sunshine

so I’m taking every opportunity to sit by the window and stitch.

Quick stitching

 

I seem to have a lot going on but not much to post.

Several friends sent me a pictures of this cute little bag and I just had to try it. 

Unfortunately it doesn’t show up well because it is so dark in colour but

I do like it.

Big news coming soon though 

Exhibition over

My little exhibition has been over for more than a week

and I am trying to get back to my routine.

I have unpacked. Sort of.

I also found time to continue this series.

Skipping.

Girl on a bike.

Girl with a suitcase.

Girl with a pram.

Girls walking the dog.

They are about the size of a postcard and you can find them on my Etsy.

Indigo Remade

 It's on!

After months of planning and finishing I am showing INDIGO REMADE.

Hope to see you there!
Or... on Instagram

Distracted

Are you easily distracted.

I have been happily going along

dealing with the mission at hand

when I thought :

"Maybe I'll try this in white?"

Oh yes, what fun. Why stop there?

 

I feel a series coming on....

Latest tea cosy

This would have to be my favourite so far.

 

 

I am really enjoying making my tea cosies again. Why?

They allow me to work in a series (people give materclasses on that).

I work freehand making decisions as I go.

I love needle turn appliqué.

I am testing out various threads for quilting.

They are portable.

While not that quick they don't take that long and who doesn't like a finished project?

And it allows me to venture into Etsy in a small way.

Name suggestion?

I have to say that I am quite pleased with my latest completion.

It has taken quite few years.

I love it when people say:

"and how long did it take you?"

Well they won't be disappointed this time.

Why does a quilt need a name anyway?

Like children?

So you can keep track of them?

Any suggestion?

And the back story of course.

snapshots

I like to think of these as snaps shots taken out the car window while driving in the country. 

They are about the size of photos when I was a child,

or like trading cards.

But I want to sell them not trade them.

boro

Boro is a term much used these days.

In Japanese it refers to cloth that is in rags, tattered and mended.

I am reluctant to call what I do boro

but it is mending.

Stitching

In case you were wondering about me..

Mostly I have been working on this.

Slow stitching.

Hand stitching....

Stitching

stitching

everyday

 

 

and then it's done.
