On my Internet Quilt - one of the first I made - a complete shot is on my website - so called because I got the idea of sewing strips onto paper and used printer paper cut into squares for the blocks. And added a bit of free motion quilting. It was made from offcuts of clothing fabric that I had used to make skirts for myself and shorts for my son. |

A Seasonal Blog
Happy Christmas USA or Happy Boxing Day England.....
Little S made this foundation pieced bookmark from his mum. Hope she liked it! |
H made this for her Dad and she then made another one for her mum, but I forgot to photo it. |
Big S made this for her mum. There are some lucky mums around this year! |
And I was lucky too, because I treated myself to this book after seeing it on a blog. |
And another little book too. |
Thanks Jackie for the quilting notebook! |
Thanks to Auntie P and Uncle G for these lovely lavender sachets. |
Thanks also to Auntie P and Uncle K for the recycled denim fabric notepaper |
Three new pairs of scissors - really cheap £2 for all three - the expensive pair that I had self destructed the other week! |
Christmas stitching |
She's helping make the Christmas wall hanging. |
Stippling with random holly leaves. |
And here it is finished - not easy to take a photo of it when I haven't put a hanging sleeve on yet. |

Team Textile and other stuff...
I have a few things to show you today.....
Team Textile is a name I suggested to another group I belong to - but sadly no one liked my idea - so I have decided to call my little quilting group Team Textile - as they are all textile apprentices and it sounds such a topical title - If you don't live in UK and watch The Apprentice, then you probably won't appreciate the link!
Georgia Mug Rug - made for Lesley to advertise in South Square Craft Shop...... |
The back... |
cute cups and jugs with matching spots - bought the fabrics at a new shop near Northampton a while ago and can't remember what it was called or where it actually was! |
Little old fashioned tea cups |
fruit and veg |
apples and cutlery - bought these fabrics in Atlanta |
the back..... |
At Embroiderers Guild, we were given a shape and asked to make a double sided decoration out of any media - so here is my crazy quilted star in white with beads |

More close ups |
H did some quilted stars using her favourite machine stitch.... |
.... and she added some sparkle to the meadow! |
