    I started this quilt before moving and finished it just after we bought our new house. It was a fitting ‘house warming’ present for our new home. One small problem… as good as I like to think my maths is, something went awry in converting this pattern from a small lap quilt to one that…

    This is my contribution to Piper’s alphabet hop. In case you’re wondering Piper, from One Sydney Road has put together an alphabet hop and today is my turn as the proud owner of the letter M. The idea is you take your letter and go and photograph things that show your interpretation of that letter.…

    I love brown… all shades. It’s such a rich warm colour and it actually suits me. My Etsy colour search didn’t really work for me and neither did a keyword search for ‘sienna’. I guess it’s more associated with a name than a colour these days (wow I sound old). So my ‘brown’ search yielded…

    This is a little out of character for me but I feel the need to rant today. Read on if you dare. I want to say there are some beautiful blogs out there, some of which I happily follow and they hold my interest because they showcase creativity both visual and written. I have to…

    As you know I recently did a screen printing on fabric course with the lovely Kate Ward. During the workshop (actually right from the beginning) she recommended I go and have a look at Prints Charming. She must have seen a similarity between styles that attract me and this store. I just love their fabric,…

    I know I know, technically black is not a colour as the Jolly Monkey pointed out to me the other day and I couldn’t help but smile and think ‘that’s my boy’. So you will have to grant me a little blog artistic license today. Not surprisingly the colour search on Etsy doesn’t do black…
