Like buses

Squeezing another one in - this makes 10 finishes for the year which just leaves me with 6 to bind and 25 tops to quilt.

Squeezing in one last finish (spot the frog)

This was a workshop with Mary Mayne at Lutterworth Piecemakers absolutely ages ago. I quilted it earlier in the year but only put the binding on yesterday while sobbing through Toy Story 3. Mark had left the room before the sad bit, he said he was checking on an ebay auction that was about to finish...... did he just not want to watch me blub or did he not want to blub himself? I think the latter..... Good job I didn't watch Dumbo.....

More chickens.....

An I-spy chicken and a spiderman chicken for Edward (grandson of Jill at work) and two chickens made from a workshop technique at Lutterworth Piecemakers. The workshop was on mosaics with Janet Cook and I enjoyed it - I just didn't want to make a bag out of the stars I had made.

Halloween

Mark asked who this one was for and I replied "me".....

I quilted a spiderweb panto on it which I love and would do on everything although it probably wouldn't be appropriate on some.....

Busy, busy, busy

More chickens - on a large scale. These have gone to Davina at work in exchange for bottles for the upcoming Rugby Pawprints dog show. They were called Henrietta and Precious (Murray's chicken is called Mavis).

And then today, I went to the Big Textile show in Leicester and attended a 2 hour workshop with Zoe Potter on block printing. Great fun. £10 for the two hours and we got to bring home what we made...... even the aprons were provided (although I had taken my own with me as I only have to walk into a room with paint in it and I get covered). I have orange fingers at the moment.....

On a roll

Finished and I am going to give it to Rugby Pawprints so they can use it as a prize in an upcoming raffle. Fred and Wilma recently lost Max in Daventry for an hour and a half - he turned up safe and sound - he took himself off to Pets at Home. He had his fifteen minutes of fame as Rugby Pawprints featured him on faceback and helped to get him reunited.

Finished - in the "nick" of time

This is going off to America (via a suitcase) next week.....
