a Sizzix Spring Inervention

I'm over on the Sizzix blog today, talking about my Spring intervention, with a little inspiration from my recent Stitches trade Show Visit


This is the Broach I made with Angela, and below is a taster of what I've made to brighten up my studio for Spring!


You've still got time to make one of your own, for spring or for Easter!

its a finish!

A birthday present for my Bestie!



Sorry about the bad lighting, but as you can imagine, being the queen of last minute, it was the night before the birthday!


Which I was very lucky enough to share in the celebrations, in style


And the birthday girl had made everyone a party bag!

Thank you so much Di for inviting me to share in your special birthday celebrations

making progress

I've not been slacking,  
I have been chipping away at one of my wips


Borders were added


Backing fabric chosen from stash


and then there were several days (read as evenings after work) of quilting


Binding is attached and I just need to find the time to stitch it down, you know, in those quiet evenings in front of the tv,  (when I'm not in my studio working on deadline stuff)

It feels good to be able to share some of my own creativity with you. 
I'll try to keep it up!  At least the finish is in sight :)

moving on at a pace and a half ...

February already!

So January came and went in a flash!
(was it just me?)

My one finish I can show you


Was the Sizzix table runner, which sits proudly on the table

There were other finishes, but I just cant show you them,
What I can say is, even I was a little stunned I made that!

There have been customer quilts too

and it was truly a pleasure to quilt this one for Victoria


I was so sorry to send this one home


There were 6 other customer quilts, some I'll be able to show you later this month, 
others, well, you know how it goes, waiting for them to be published.
