Busy, Busy.

For the last few weeks I have been busy helping my friend Jilly as she opened her new shop

                                                  "JILLY TILLY AND BOO"
as a lady who is passionate about Annie Sloan Chalk Paint she is delighted to have the chance to work with them full time and sell them in her premises.

I'm proud to be able to have some of my stitched textiles for sale too.

                                         here's Polly Pumkin with a selection of cushions....
  
                           who wouldn't 'SleepTight'  with this cosy hot water bottle cover
                                              and a pretty nightdress case complete with
                                              lavender bag to softly scent your nightie.


 
                              or just sit on the rocker lean against a pretty cushion and
                                                       cuddle a' Lost and Found' bear.

 It's that busy time of year when I'm getting ready for Christmas fairs, my house is in chaos and I'm stitching full time. I've so many ideas and not enough time.

Ah well back to the sewing machine... I'll keep you posted with my progress.

Have a peaceful 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.

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
