New project and a garden

Well this is what I am up to, always looks like a child has done it at this stage :) but once I have finished off and start the free motion work then it looks better. I hope :)



Every white part will be filled with hearts, I have cut out all sorts of size heart so that they fill these gaps. I am feeling good about it :)


My garden :) a watermelon!!

Spinach and corn mmmmmm :)



Sunflower about to bloom, so cool.....



How do I stop basil from seeding?? And it has gone all light yellow, diseased :(



I am reading an old book out of my bookshelf called Alias the Saint, which is about the saint remember that show on tv with Roger Moore as the saint? The book is very fun and quite intelligently written.
What about you? what have you been reading?

Feels Great!!!

Well over the past week I have sold two of my art quilts!! And that makes me so excited that someone likes what I do so much that they will pay me money :) It hurts to post each piece but I cant fit them all on my wall so they might as well go to another wall. It just feels so great!.

I have finished the 'get rid of fabric' quilt. It has been stuck under my sewing machine for a couple of weeks now that I have forgotten what it looks like, so when I took it off today and threw it on the floor, I got such a great feeling :) wohooo. So now it just needs a border and then I can put that on etsy.

So my new piece will be, well actually I have a few idea's which is a relief since I had nothing there for a while. So now I am doing something with hearts and then a pure thread green one with many different shades of green through it. Wish I could do two things at once :)

Trying, trying, trying to lose weight. I think I lose about 200gm a week, so sad. But at least I am losing weight I guess.

And I know that The Help came out a while ago but I just got to it and wow what a powerful book. Could not stop reading it. My family had to come and find me as I hid away just reading it. The only bad part was that it ended :).








So there the work, now off to bind it and cut out more hearts for my next project. What are you up to? Send me a picture and I can post it here.

New Video

Well I have finally gotten round to doing another video. Here is the link 

I have also found The Piano Guys and they are incredible. Their music is just beautiful.

I have been working on my 'getting rid of fabric' quilt, see what you think.....




I have just started working on the feathers, and now will do the filler with white, much more forgiving :) I have completed this quicker than I thought so that was a good feeling :).
