Mothers Day

A few weeks ago I went to the newly refurbished York City Art Gallery. I was much taken by a collaborative project between ceramicist Phillip Eglin and local children who responded to the gallery's collection of Madonna and child art. here are some decidedly funky mothers for Mother's Day!

Toile de Jouy

My daughter Alice has created some lovely neon Toile de `Jouy prints for Crabtree and Evelyn. I love their products so it is great to see her designs on them.  Go buy some!
Here is a little film they made about Alice's inspiration.

Joining

This afternoon I have been cutting up quilts and rejoining to create " frames" in which to work. I love over stitching an edge to an edge and ironing it out so you can see the joining stitches. Lots of tea dyeing draped all over the place too.....

Bewick Birds space on course

Somebody has pulled out of my Bewick Birds Stitched Drawing course at The Hearth on Monday 14th March. I am running this course in my studio and for four people only so it is very exclusive! Full details can be found on my web site and you can contact me through the web site if you would like to take the place.

Card Collages

Teeny tiny card collages with just left over bits. These are sewn together by hand, no glue involved!

Some more garden birds

Two not very wonderful photographs of some more garden birds. Again these are for sale in my ETSY shop and I will be repeating them so if you go to the shop and they are not there it means they have been sold but more are in the pipeline. I say "repeat" but because of my collage technique which uses different bits of fabric every time they are in fact all slightly different.

I am also doing some personal collage work in the studio and who knows the sun might shine enough today to get some good pics of it!

Baby it's cold outside

I think I put this image on to Facebook some time ago to hint that in a few months time I will be a Grandmother! The jacket was "found". I don't know whether it was a child's jacket or one for a doll.
