Hello! I am still here! It has been a busy start to the year with many proposals and lots of lovely workshops, so I'm afraid I just kept running out of steam when it came to blogging... Things will still be a little quiet whilst I create my new website! There may be some calls for images and stories again, as my new site will have a section just for all you and your patchwork projects!... Watch this space...
But for now I just wanted to leave you with my most recent joy - the local village hall where I have started a monthly quilt group.(Images above) Here people are coming together to share their larger quilt projects, swap ideas and get some technical support when needed. Each month I write a page with a patchwork or quilt story and after the 12 sessions we will do a workshop in making a hand sewn book. With space for notes in the book, you can record your thoughts and ideas as you make, very much like Muriel Rose did as she peeped over the washing lines of houses in Wales and Durham during the 1930's, to record and find the best quilters to bring to London and exhibit in The Little Gallery.
There will be more to come on Muriel Rose and many of the artists she worked with in my new site...
