I’ve been tidying the workroom following the completion of ‘Moments of Peace’ and ‘Communion’ and gathered together a little crowd of strays. So I think I’ll take a break from the series to make a couple of smaller cloths that … Continue reading →

Firstly, let me explain that I did prepare this one a few days ago, lest anyone should think that I haven’t slept since yesterday’s post. This consists of 32 pieces of silk, hand pieced over paper, to make a 4.5″ … Continue reading →

Outside

Posted on 22/03/2011 by

The weather has been glorious the last two days. I’ve been outside for most of the time, tidying the garden. Plenty of sunshine, fresh air, Spring, birdsong, bees and ladybirds, and not much of this: Sometimes you just have to … Continue reading →

Pieces of Spring

Posted on 18/03/2011 by
