A New Term!


No, not back to school for me (although I'm thinking that I might need a quick lesson on how to get Blogger back to how it was - it's gone all big and I don't know why), but for my DDs, so I'm hoping to have more sewing and crafting time again.  I think that I need a major time 'spend' on scrapbooking.  It has been pointed out to me (by the aforementioned DDs) that I am a long way behind, and that I should catch up.  I agree.  I should catch up, and I think that means staying away from machine sewing for a while so that I can do that.  Obviously small hand sewing projects (in front of the TV in the evenings when my hands are up to it) won't be affected!

In the meantime, I can now show you this

a book cover made for Alex from the scraps of the fabrics left over after block trimming from her camp blanket.  I couldn't show it before as it was one of her birthday presents,and I didn't want to spoil the surprise.  Many thanks to SweetiePie50 who I think made something similar and showed it....although I can't find the post that I was looking for. I do know that she made a lovely bag using fabric strips recently!

I've also done some more work on my C&G module and have produced this non-textile piece.  So many things that I'd change if I was doing again!


Finally, in case you can make it to South West London next Monday evening, Sara Impey will be giving a talk called " Quilts, Texture and Talk" . Starts at 7.30pm, in St Winefride's Church, Kew. Visitors £6
Why not start your autumn with this? I'm really looking forward to it.

  1. I will see you on Monday! Can I come to you again? Is that OK? What time suits you? The book cover is great! Hope the girls are happy with their new teachers.

  3. Your daughters look very cute! It is nice to have the time again with the kids at school, but I am finding the house awfully quiet :(
