This quilt is called Grace's Farmyard Friends and contains all sorts of farm yard animals. Grace is a new born baby and she will have lots of fun rolling around on the floor on the quilt!

These are books that I made following the Hands On afternoon that the Guild had with Coral Singleton and her teaching us to experiment with Markel Oil paint Sticks. This blue book is the one I began on the afternoon and took home to finish off - I 'markeled' - (is there such a word?) - iron-on vilene which I love for dying as it takes dyes so easliy and readily. I then embellished it with machine stitching and buttons and beads which I had to hand!

The orange one, in fact, was one I made with Coral later using tissue paper - amazing isn't it?Again I used the machine to embellish it a little!

I say that I do not do anything complicated which is true, but looking at this, it does look more complicated than it is!

The quilt is called Edward's Bears and is a floor quilt designed to be robustly crawled over in due course. Some of the bears are my design others taken from
published patterns, and appliqued on before being randomly quilted. Everything is done on the machine and the fabrics I used are silks, cottons and linens.
My machine will never be the same again but I could get to like quilting!

This is the Beaded Fish pendant I began at the Day School with Ann Mockford, but finished off at home. I did eventually enjoy doing it, but certainly very different to my usual form of embroidery!


The doll is made using a pattern from Stitch magazine and was the trial one for a series of three fairy dolls sent to my great nieces in USA for Christmas presents 2007.
