Large Swatch Quilt

I finished a quilt made out of swatches from Spoonflower all of which are my designs.
You can find all the fabrics here.
I'm afraid none of the photos are particularly good though.

Geneva


I came back from Geneva yesterday where I've spent a few lovely days.
We had lovely weather most of the time but you can see the clouds coming in on the photo and it was very wet yesterday.
This was a metal sheet sculpture with a cut out of a singer, behind I've captured the lake, mountains and sky which looks like her dress. This was taken at Montreux at the top of Lake Geneva/Lake Leman.

Wee Folk

I bought myself a new book by Salley Mavor maker of wee folk. My friend and I had a go at making one following the instructions in the book. Mine is dressed in yellow and Helen's is in green. I made rather a mess of her face and some of the wrapped thread is untidy and she has very long arms - we didn't have the right size pipe cleaners. I stood her next to the large doll so you could get an idea of scale.

New Sketchbooks


I couldn't resist a good offer for a pile of sketchbooks. They'll keep me going for a while, eh?

The last Pages of Sketchbook 47







I've made this into a repeating pattern for fabric, it needs a little tweaking because it does not join up quite right.

More Sketchbook 47 pages [107-113]

The top part of the flower was cut on my Zing on paper I'd printed one of my designs on. The cut pattern was designed on my tablet.



The lower cut is very delicate and I've cut it twice and ripped it twice. I shall have to try it on card to see if stays together better.
All the circular type cuts were designed on my tablet.

I altered this doodle to make a repeating fabric.
