For all those 'Tilda' fanatics; here are some inspiration photos from her new book...released in the UK, but not available here yet...just to get the juices going.....hope you enjoy... I have just ordered some off the fabrics featured in these photos...when they arrive, which I can't wait I will take a photo of them and post them so you can all see them...should be beautiful and I am so excited....

Vintage Blooms...

I have recently started attending a class...once a month...on a Saturday morning...a class just for me to indulge in something that I love and don't get a lot of time to do...stitching and applique.

The quilt I am working on a block at a time is actually called "Funky Flowers" by Michelle McKillop. The original quilt is made in very bright colours, but I have decided to do it in more muted shades, reproduction fabrics and therefore I am calling it 'Vintage Blooms'.

I have finished the first block...

Summer Is For The Birds....

Summer and daylights savings seem to have an odd effect on the birds of our neighbourhood...they decide it is time to wake earlier than all of the rest of nature...including us humans!

But the sound reminds me that summer is fast approaching....

So I decided to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon making some little birds to put in my new birdcage...aren't they cute...and these ones don't chirp and sing in the morning..they just look cute...
