Two more books for Quilters.

I was delighted to sell the book from my last post. Here it is carefully wrapped in a piece of vintage linen and already on it's way.
The last couple of days I have been finishing two more books ready to go in my Etsy shop this evening.

 I love this fabric, such soft and feminine colours. The ribbon and some of the lace have been dyed to match.
                          The second book is my favourite, these colours just appeal to me.

                                You can see the inside pages if you look on my Etsy.
Meanwhile I'm left with a mess, I wish I could keep tidy while I work instead of having a creative muddle.

          It just gets worse the more I do.



One day, I mean it , one day, I will be organised and know where everything is, I will be neat and tidy and organised. I won't lose things at the back of a cupboard, all my fabric will be neatly stacked , all my lace and ribbons will be in tidily wound.
I really won't be hunting for things and waste so much time. Will I?

No I don't think so, but a girl can dream!!!!

Thanks to everyone who left a comment on my lasy post. I did read them all before they disappeared into the depths of Blogger.

Have a great week.

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.

Image
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
