Sewing…..

It’s strange sometimes when you look at fabric and it almost tells you what it wants to be when it’s not longer flat wrapped around a carboard bolt. That’s the kind of relationship I have with this Barefoot Roses It’s a beautiful old fashioned, blousy rose print and to me it always says ‘Grandma’ – [...]

At the bottom of the garden is a tree, a very old tree .. So who’s going to pick this lot up? Behind the tree is a wall. A much older wall… Over the wall is a field, an ancient field.. That field marks time… The Romans must have walked this way down to settle [...]

The last of the slightly wind battered echinacea flowers. There isn’t a special reason, well not really. I haven’t made a 100 posts or even 50 yet (but I’m working on it). There’s nothing exciting going on …. unless you count the fact that my son had his brace changed this week and opted for [...]

This has been a week with poorly people. Colds again! Haven’t we done this already? It’s only October. Didn’t we have our colds quota in September.

Thanks for the lovely comments about the tutorial. I thought I’d show you the bag that the lining eventually got sewn into.
