My creative space...

...is still all about chopped vegetables.  I have got four cushions to make and the grey linen is the common fabric to them all, to which I am adding an assortment of other prints including these mustard, grey and brown ones, and these ones that I started earlier in the week.

The third cushion will feature these fabrics and the fourth one, a combination of them all.

Has, at last, been all about the garden.  I have been planting bulbs in the hope that come the spring I am blessed with glorious colour again.

I have spent many hours scouring catalogues and websites and put together three schemes for some tulip beds.  I bought all my bulbs from here, for the first time and it comes highly recommended.

No2 did the digging (and copious amounts of moaning about it, I might add) and so, for the first time, I have planted my tulips in trenches.

If my garden looked anywhere near as beautiful as this one, I will be in green-fingered heaven next year.


I had some very enthusiastic helpers as well as the more begrudging one too.  Ignore the tin can, if you don't mind.  I have unearthed all manner of debris from party of the year outside...

Right, I'm off for a soak in the bath.  My fingernails are disgusting and my shoulders are aching from the bending and digging.

Finally, I have embraced plain fabrics in my quilts.  I think I've avoided them purely because I love fabrics with designs on; I love the colour combinations within each fabric and I love mixing them up.

I am working on some quilts that will be gifts this Christmas.  One of them has some zingy Kona bright pink as sashing (another new thing for me).

One of them has the most delicious pile of deep Kona solids as the borders to each block.

I'm being deliberately coy here as I really don't want any surprises spoilt!

My creative space...

...is all about the ripple.




I have set myself what I consider to be a realistic challenge and that is to do just two rows a day.

Two rows is about an inch, therefore in a month's time, it should have grown thirty one inches.  See?  I'm a maths genius!

...is all about curtain-making this week.  Which requires some modifications to my kitchen table in order to save my back!

I have finally joined in this game, you can see more over here.
