Working steadily - my own projects.

Sorry to report that I have nothing new to show you. I have been working steadily on two projects, but neither is yet complete.



The first of these is a box I have been making for the "Think outside the take-out box" series of lessons by Debbie Babin. This has been great fun since I have been busy getting messy and playing with beads and thread as well as paint and fabric dyes. The series of lessons is one from Joggles. It is certainly well worth doing. I have a learnt a lot in the process.

This will be the outside of the box. Lots of dye inks used here.

A complete contrast - this is the inside lining of the box. It looks hand-dyed, but is actually a printed fabric I found and loved.

The next is the Green Quilt. I cannot even show you my progress here, since Liz and Simon have not yet seen it. This will take a while since it is rather fiddly, but I hope it will work out all right.

Encrusted Crazy Quilting 2.

I have fallen way behind with Sharon Boggon's Encrusted Crazy Quilting course - just finished "week two", and the course has already ended! No matter, I am enjoying myself and the beautifully written instructions mean that I am able to carry on at my own (snail-like) pace until both my pieces are finished. Thanks Sharon. It really is nice to find such well-written instructions and feel fully confident that you can finish no matter how long it might take.

I have been very lucky to be able to start this course with Sharon B.

As part of this I've had great fun playing with colour.


Its really interesting, looking at things in a very different way. Thanks Sharon.
