First Quilt Finished

I don't suppose anyone remembers this post about a quilt I was working on nearly three years ago? Well believe it or not, it finally got finished and now adorns the bed in my guest room. These lovely sunny pictures were taken on a beautiful summer's day, back in July 2011...

I've not started another one, until recently... but more on that soon.

Oil Colour Inspiration

You know when you see a random painting, or other thing of beauty, that just makes you want to crack out the oil paints, dust off that sewing machine or sharpen your scissors. Today that thing was this painting, by Christina Renfer Vogel. I love the colours and light, it made me smile, but more importantly it made me want to paint again.

Long time coming...

It's been too long. A lot has happened since I last posted. I bought a house and got a promotion at work, all of which has contributed towards having absolutely no spare time for crafts and blogging. But anyway, enough of the excuses, I am now ready to start posting again about everything that's happened over the past two years and everything that will be happening in future! Stay tuned...
