one inch

I was rearranging my scraps the other day

and decided to make some 1" strips

and then do something with them.

So satisfying.

And then one tiny pin cushion,

then two...

 I just can't help myself.

Making these little pictures is so addictive.

the two above are not quite completed as I think I need to add some detail.

 I have the scraps are spread out on my sewing table and I start fiddling on yet another one.

And two does not make a series. 

So here is a third one.

These are about the size of your old panorama printed photos.

Remember them?

Artist Talk

Today I gave a talk about my quilts.

Very challenging....

A first for me.

Sneak Peek

I was hoping to show you 

a whole lot of really good photos taken

by the mountain climber

but

the technology has defeated me.

For the time being these are my photos.

Any way tomorrow is the BIG opening

(it is already open to the public).

Maybe there will be a few bloggers unmasked.

  

having fun

While I am still hard at work finishing things 

and doing the paperwork

for my exhibition

I have been having a  bit of fun making these

little jewely rolls.

 I love to travel and try not to take too much.

Don't we all?

But I always take something to dress up...

 So the plan is...

I wrap my special piece in this roll and put it in a shoe for protection!

In case you want to ask

these little darlings measure approximately

7 3/4" x 4"   or   19.5 x 10cm

Quiet days

 Now that the rush is over,

I have had a few quiet days.....

 stitching....

and paper piecing

And putting the last stitches in this quilt.

Now where was I?

Oh Yes.

I have been unpicking kimonos

to make a new quilt!

very plain

I know 

but this is just 2 woollen kimonos.

I am loving it.

That's it!

I can't wait until  "finish it Friday"

and I went to Annie's today

and so it was hardly a "wordless Wednesday"

but this is on the wall

 

It could hang a bit straighter

but it already looks

antique

So now I am tidying up the 

tidying up.

Making some blocks with 

the left overs

so

stay tuned.

quilting is finished

The quilting is done!

Now for the binding

In the meantime my friend Annie visited.

These selvedge blocks are hers.

What are these daisies called Annie?

I enjoy this sewing too!

Anticipation

The fabric is all washed and ironed 

and now

I am working on these blocks

I can't wait to put it together
