My Activities

I am a textile artist living in Somerset, South West England. I love everything to do with fabric, threads, yarn and mixed media. I'm a member of the newly formed TextileSet, a group of enthusiastic stitchers from Dorset & Somerset, the online group Near & Far, West Country Embroiderers and Quirky Quilters.
I love the county of Somerset and enjoy walking my dog, Indie. I travel with her around England and France at every opportunity and we both have fun in our 'cottage garden'

Scrap Bag Challenge Bags

I've been going through my fabric scraps and have come up with these bags for the next craft fair. I am NOT a quilter and I am aware that I've probably not used the right technique but these are fun, vintage style, sturdy shoppers.

My other activity has been completing the bunting for my eldest son's wedding in two weeks - draped around the house so that I can make sure I have enough length.

    ohhhh for someone who is not a quilter, they are lovely, very nice. And I just love the bunting. I tried to make some once and getting each little flag exactly the same size is a lot harder than it looks.

      My idea was to make a cardboard template (I made two sizes) and then I drew round the card and cut out with pinking shears - I needed a fast way as there was a total of 54 feet to make!!!

    From one non-quilter to another, I think you have done a marvellous job !
