Afternoon tea

Here is a link to a recently completed project which combines my love for afternoon tea and my passion for all things hand made. I call this my Penny Rug Tea Cosy. http://www.flickr.com/photos/7700628@N03/?saved=1

Quilt therapy


Meant to spend the whole of Good Friday studying but found my bottom-drawer quilt stash calling me, so I spent a happy couple of hours cutting up fabric for my next quilt. Did I say next quilt? I actually have two more quilts in the pipeline before I get to that one. And the one which is currently on the frame being quilted. So eventually, after I've finished quilting my current quilt (a hand-pieced Grandmother's Flower Garden which I thought was going to be a quick and easy project but turned out to be a long term project after all), and then made the next one (a hand appliqued quilt using antique style fabrics bought at The Stone Store, Russell), and the one after that (Cotton Leaf [Bear Paw variation] using recycled shirts), phew, then I'll get to the next quilt.
