On the beach

Sundays are generally spent in my sewing room. This weekend however has been spent with the DHs grandchildren. We have had two days on the beach building sandcastles and eating cream cheese sandwiches! Its been great fun. I'll just have to catch up on sewing tomorrow.

Silk Cockerel

I made this little silk cockerel picture for Faye when she returned to University in January. I love working with silk there is something luxurious about it!

Cliff top walk

I took this photograph this morning while walking the dog along the cliff top. You can just about see the Isle of Wight in the background. I really like the photo in black and white, it makes the cloud formation look really good.

My dog hates it when the paragliders go overhead!

Country Angels

Having only lived in this house for 3 months, and now having a downstairs loo with a low ceiling, I felt this area was calling out for bunting! In January I went to the Maltings fabric sale in Farnham and bought this lovely little angle pattern (along with the odd piece of fabric!).

Country House Quilt

Here's one I finished the binding on last weekend. Ive never used checks before or so much black, but I loved every minute of it. Its very simple quilting but felt it didn't need alot. The pin wheels around the edge would look good in a small cot sized quilt - but thats for another day!

Snow!

Those who live in the UK will know we've had a huge amount of snow over the last 36 hours. I should be in London today but it's like an ice rink on the roads so we turned round and headed home. Which means we have an enforced holiday in the warmth of home, watching the snow fall and hopefully doing some quilting - sounds ok to me! What better time to start a blog, so here goes.
