Back home.

I've been home for a couple of weeks from my trip to Birmingham and The Festival of Quilts.
Every day I think, I'll write a post today, but life takes over and I haven't got round to sorting myself out.

So here I am at last..... with a lovely quilt from the show that I loved. The colours are really me....

 
Another favourite was this gorgeous bag with it's exquisite embroidery.
 
 
 
and I was delighted to see that a group quilt entered by Cowslip Workshops was given a third prize.
 
 
love those colours.. I'm inspired.
 
I,ve made a couple of purchases today a childs wooden rocking cradle and a fabulous 1930's eiderdown.  I'll show you those next time.
 
Have a great week.
xox Angela.

Glad to hear all is well. That first little quilt is so pretty and the bag is gorgeous. My days are busy since going back to work. Kids started school yesterday so there's always something to do. Almost the weekend -- hopefully I can find time to crochet again. Best wishes, Tammy

Hello Angela, I love the sweet colors of the grandmother's flowergarden quilt but as well the neutrals and the design of the other one. The bag is an awesome creation too.
Have a lovely evening :-)!
Hugs to you,

Progress on the Christmas quilt.

Image
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
