Nina wrote a new post, Summer crafts with children – tie dyeing 7 years, 9 months ago
With the ice dyeing gaining quite a lot of interest earlier in the year (see e.g. blogs by Gill and Lynda), I was delighted to spot some tie dye kits in the ‘special buys’ at Aldi; they looked like something fun and…

Vendulka Battais wrote a new post, How one thing leads to another 7 years, 10 months ago
Do you ever wonder how do people develop a body of work for an exhibition? How they come up with the idea in the first place?? I’m now working on a series of quilts for an exhibition which will travel with G…

What lovely examples of your design process. Really great to see how designs can develop from a single idea and a common process.
-
Fabulous work and great to hear how the theme developed over time. Thanks for sharing your lovely work.
-
I’ve loved your work since I attended a short workshop at Harrogate earlier this year and will definitely look out for your exhibit in Harrogate!
-
I saw your miniature at FOQ. Astounding. I could not make out whether it was the tinyesy applique or paint, it was so small.

Stunning, wow

My blue on blue Boro inspired project is finally finished, it took longer than I anticipated with life and procrastination getting in the way. With enforced rest time, I was able me to complete…

Lovely finished Boro piece Denise. What I particularly love about Boro is the ripples you get (front and back) which adds fantastic surface design. Your photos show this beautifully.

Thank you. There was a point I was going to bin the lot as it seemed to take for ever, but I am glad I carried it through.
-
Sometimes things seem to take forever. But it’s always worth persevering and good job you did with this one!

Thank you

What is more important the quilt or the quilter?
When I was little I once pulled and pushed my arm around my neck and back as far as it would go and then, as I showed my mother what I could do, I told her it hurt…

Good piece of advice! My hubby works in H&S and I do try and position myself ‘properly’ before sewing but it’s so easy to get hunched up, especially with FMQ. But I find it goes better if you ‘shake it out’ and relax!
-
Thanks Helen. Shaking out and relaxing is definitely good for the creativity.

Very good advise Ruth.

Thank you Lyn. It is all back to basics which we do all forget about don’t we.

I totally agree with your comments Ruth, and one thing I would add is to have a drink. It only needs to be a glass of water, or G & T if that is what you would like. I frequently get so engrossed that I forget to have a drink – could go 3 or 4 hours….. It also makes you get up and walk around – so two plusses!!! x
-
Oh gosh I forgot that one Sue! I have to go down two flights for a drink so it is a really good break when I go for one (unless my husband is kind enough to bring me one up.
