I've used recycled velvet for the background and am "stitching" the fabric with a soldering iron at the moment.

These are my hellebore flowers in my garden. They are magical flowers and give such pleasure at this time of the year.

These were photographed last year but are beginning to show now.

I've been looking at a design on my wall for nearly a year now, just not entirely sure of the technique I was going to use to make it. Either I discard it or just do it- so I have!

Journal Quilts based on figures 2014

This is the first of a series of line and texture pieces which I am making as part of the CQGBI Journal Quilt project. I found some pages of quick sketches that my son had discarded after Christmas. They have a lot of energy and movement so I have used them as a basis for 12 pieces. They will be completed one a month.

The background of the first piece for January is made from scraps of collaged scrim and then hand stitched on the surface with linen and silk thread. The foreground is machine stitched appliqued calico with a zig zag free machined stitch.
The background of the second piece is stitched with shirring elastic on scrim and the appliqued with a double needle.
