Crafting...

An embellished angel, of course!...
...some bonded...
... up close and personal...
...team photo!
Some Christmas cards.

...the usual close up photos, sorry about the shadows. I really need to work on these photos!
They're destined for Abernethy. Hope they go down well!

That's all for now,

Byee.

Hi there!

Still here! I've been playing with my embellisher again. This time trying to put together a few little pieces for a craft fair in Abernethy, Scotland of course and no it's not the biscuits! It's on the 27th October. Running out of time again as usual.
These are to go on A5 mountboard as unframed pieces. I got carried away and took rather a lot of pictures. I should probably put them on flickr... I may just do that later on.

...some close up shots...
...embellished with wool tops (at last!)...
...and some hand stitching...
...some embellishing on the reverse gave some areas a fuzzy look...

...think I'll call it a misty look!...
..the mist rolls in from the sea...mmm, heard that before, somewhere!...
...I then had a weird notion to photograph some of my pieces laid on a catalogue...
...certainly a different result...
...mmm...
...no idea where I was going with this idea...
...maybe back to plain backgrounds from now on...
...no, this one was just a fuzzy picture, sorry... maybe some of the other ones were as well. Don't know what I was doing.
That's it folks,
Bye for now.
P.S. Just thought I'd have lots of dots on this post!... ... ... ...

Quilt Fair...

went to the Edinburgh Quilt Fair on Friday saw lots of lovely quilts. As usual I spent far too much on fabric and books. Not that I really needed the fabric or the books.... No I did need the books!!

The Painted Quilt by Linda & Laura Kemshall (ISBN-10:0-7153-2449-7) an absolute must!!

Sew Pretty Homestyle ( ISBN-10:0-7153-2749-6) a Tilda book seriously yummy eye candy.

I would have posted a picture of the front cover but I'm not sure about copyright.
Did you know that there was a Tilda Addict blog?

I'm thinking, maybe I need a craft blog as well...I love to do so many varied things. A bit of a drawback sometime.

Found some images of a piece of fabric making I'd done a wee while ago. Thought I'd share it with you...






Some of the highlight machining on the brown flowers have gone a bit wonky...
Bye for now.
