What have you been doing?



This week Rachel has:




* finished a wall hanging by Gloria Loughman from her book Quilted Symphony
* finished a little landscape picture in long and short stitch to go on the front of a felt embellished book

* found some backing fabric for a wall hanging applique- and decided to quilt it by hand and add really cute teeny weeny buttons!

P1000946









* painted all the pages of a pink pig sketchbook with dye- this is as a trick to myself- The Page is not Blank therefore I can easily think what to sketch!! - will this work?


P1000947




* printed out a flower onto fabric- just need find some more pink batik fabric - why does it happen that you find something in your stash that is just the right colour but --
there is just not enough of it.
No problem I am going to Craft For Crafters at Westpoint in Exeter this weekend so will be able to stock up with supplies.http://http://www.craft4crafters.co.uk/
Have just found out about the L'aiguille-en-fete in France that is on from the 9th -12 Feb - looks really good- Note to self to put it in diary for next year.http://http://www.aiguille-en-fete.com/Au-fil-de-l-actu_r204.html
