ALQS7 - Time to Rest

This it the 2nd Another Little Quilt Swap I have participated in and both times I have been absolutely thrilled with the quilt I was given in the swap.  This piece is named 'Time to Rest' (hence the chair in the right hand corner!) and was made by Diana Furguson from the USA (you can see her blog at www.difergi.blogspot.com).  The face is silk and was made for another piece of artwork but didn't quite make the grade, rather than discard her totally, Diana put her into 'Time to Rest' and I was lucky enough to give her a new home!  Below are a couple of close up pictures to show the work and detail that went into the piece. 

You can see more of the little 12" x 12" quilts on Kate's blog at www.katesquilting.blogspot.com

Taj Mahal

It has been mad here!  Getting back from holiday so close to Christmas in principle is fantastic but.....in reality there has been a huge amount to do.  I think I can safely say that I am now organised.  Just have to pick the children up from the station this afternoon (thats providing the trains are running, as we've had lots of flooding in the New Forest area and that has affected the trains).  Hopefully that means I can relax a bit and get down to sorting some of my photographs out and also I must blog my wonderful mini quilt that I recieved in the ALQS7 back in November.

In the mean time here is a picture taken at dawn of the wonderful Taj Mahal - just to prove I really have been to India and YES it is as beautiful and magical as they say!!  More pictures will follow.

I'm back

It seems like its been an age since I last blogged - well I guess it has.  We've just arrived back from 3 weeks in North India and it has been amazing.  I will regale you with some photo's but first I need to get over the jet lag!!!
