WELCOME TO THE WORLD SOCK BUNNY

A fun afternoon at the Craft Society that involved making these gorgeous little sock rabbits. They are so simple to make and look adorable, I have invested in some patterned socks to turn into bunnies so watch this space. We also made a stuffed dragon, who needs stuffing as he is a bit flat at the moment (he will be appearing later in the week hopefully). For now, just enjoy the sock bunny!

A PRODUCTIVE WEEK

Hello again, this week has been my reading week at uni, so I have enjoyed a week without lectures and therefore plenty of time for art (rather than reading which is what I should have been doing!). These are some small comissioned pieces that I completed for a teacher/friend, rather than reading Homer (which is way less interesting than sewing!). She was really pleased with them, which is always good, and I really enjoyed making them. As you can see from my posts (or absence of) I aven't had much time for sewing recently and it was great to get everything out and get sewing! I love that feeling of accoumplishment when I've finished. A good week all in all, even if I didn't actually get that much reading done!

COMPLETED QUILTS

Hello, this is my first post for a while- I am now away at Uni and am an Art History student rather than an art student, so I spend a lot of my time reading. These images, however, are from over the summer when I completed the quilt from my workshop at St Aidan's school in Preesall (see post July 7th). This is the finished product! All those squares on the floor have become two quilts that can be hung in the school. I think they look brilliant (even of I do say so myself!). I also turned my demo-pieces into a cushion that my sister has or should have taken to university. Here then are the photos,enjoy! Hopefully more posts will be coming soon, how that I am settled in and will hopefully have more time to sew.
