Kandinsky and a Bracelet
Well I have been feeling very under the weather and very unsociable but, I have been working quietly away in the background. I am now looking forward to catching up with reading the blogs I love and posting a little of my work.This little 5ins quiltie was made for the April swap on Unlimited Textiles. The theme was the artist Kandinsky.I love the freedom o his work and the colour combinations heWings!
June Cross (who doesn't have a blog - yet!) and I decided to do a little trade. We chose a 5 ins square mini quilt with the theme "Wings"Well it turned out to be dragonflies at dawn! Independently and without the other knowing we both created dragonfly quilties.I used a hand painted cotton for the background and did a flowing kind of quilting going with the painted shapes. The dragonfly body isNew bag - Unfinished
This bag is unfinished as yet as I am waiting for pay day for the fabric I want and is for the Textiles for Two project with Jan.It represents the Incan Empire.You can read more about it over at Textiles for Two.Sanctuary

I do have a little to show though and will start by showing off the wonderful work my friends ~ with some help from me of course ~ did in my garden.Sitting here you really feel you are protected with all the plants around.You can hear the buzzing of the bees and the hoverflies.I'm really lookingLazy Sunday
Roger's leave is coming to an end and I have to wave him off to work tomorrow.Well, I won't as he goes out too early but you know what I mean.So back to work for both of us as I start to catch up in the studio and get back on track with my projects.The weather has been kind to us and, with the help of friends, we have rearranged the garden, seen family and generally had a relaxing time.Today weAlis Clair

Little Bird is going to a new home. He was hanging at a local coffee shop and someone has bought him.
I created him on a sunny fall day in the garden.
