Women on the move

 

I don’t know why I only just thought to do this recently, putting my “women” on my tea cosies. 

I am quite pleased with them. Women on the move seems quite topical at the moment 

CLOTH AND CLAY

 

There is still time to catch this collaborative exhibition of my textiles 

and three ceramicists. 

I am really proud of how it has all come together

So why not take a drive down the Great Ocean Road this weekend and say Hi!

I will be there Friday, Saturday and Sunday 

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.

sign me up.

I rather feel I have lost my mojo the last few weeks.

Not sure if it is all the political turmoil or just because it's Summer.

I have enjoyed a bit of hand stitching though.

Always keeps you going doesn't it?

And I do like a good sign.

A few stitches...

January seems like on long holiday.

I have carried my little sewing kits for weeks hoping to put a few stitches in these small things.

At last I have finished a couple of things.  

Some indigo.... 

and a new tea cosy.

I have trying out a new pattern.

What do you think?

Might start putting things on my Etsy.

Holiday hand stitching

 

 

How has your Christmas been?

I have been having a nice time embellishing my tea cosies.

In the past I have done all the hand sewing and then made up the tea cosy

But this time I made them up and then added the rest.

This way I can keep adding as much as I like........

Not sure if I'm finished yet.

All packed up

Well my exhibition is all packed up now

and some things sent off to their new homes.

 

I made these 2 new tea cosies a bit late in the show

and so I am quite happy to be able to admire them a bit longer.

 

Really, I just love all this hand stitching....
