Inspired by Miss Sandy.

I am always inspired by Miss Sandy at Quill Cottage and when I saw her enchanting little paper shoes I decided that I needed to design some for myself. I cheated and found this pair of baby shoes in a Charity shop.

                                                       They are pretty and pink, just right.
                                          I played about and cut and glued and stitched,
                                          aged them a little and finally covered a box.

                                               I'm so happy with how they turned out.

                                      I hope Miss Sandy will approve of my' Little Steps'.

They are so sweet. Also I like the way you have adorned them with scrunchy ribbons. The matching box is a lovely touch...do you wonder who they had belonged to before you found them??

Progress on the Christmas quilt.

Progress on my Christmas quilt is slow, I keep being distracted by other things. (see my other blog )                                         The angel is aloft, surrounded by stars. I added a little 'Love' 'Joy' and 'Peace'. I have no plan in mind just stitching and seeing how it turns out. I'm off to pick up my needle. xox Angela.

Using every last scrap.

With each collection of fabrics I am aiming to use "Every Last Scrap". There is so much waste created by the textile industry. I love fabric but I don't feel the need to hoard it or build a stash. After owning a Patchwork and Quilting shop in the late 1990s and with a partner who was a representative  for Moda fabrics, I managed to gather lots of fabrics. In 2014 I started a BA Hons in Textile Design (printed fabrics) which led to more fabrics being accumulated. I realise that having so much fabric inhibits, rather than encourages productivity. Sitting looking at huge amounts of fabric is overwhelming for me. Gradually I have donated, sold or given away most of my accumulation. I now work with a small collection and aim to use every little piece. This encourages my creativity and encourages a large body of work from even a small collection. I also avoid taking part in dozens workshops. I have attended so many and each producing lots of samples. I'm working back over m
