I'm very pleased to see my collection on the front page of Guildery today. You can also see me on the Guildery blog talking about my work and studio. So to answer the question that keeps popping up from the USA - Yes you can buy my fabric by the yard and yards and yards! Plus cushions, drapes, footstools, lampshades and more, yey!

Home Day

I've been doing a few customer orders at home today and took a few pics plus some funny 'combinations' as my boy would say.

 Product placement or what!

 Action man hanging out with the cats... Sally Nencini's knitted love and Jane foster's printed meow!

I've also been meaning to post about the fabirc buckets I've been milling around with for a while.  This is the best one so far!  I just put up this new clock too, bought from a cute, new shop in my neighbourhood.

I also got a gorgeous new cushion from my friend Becky Baur.... will post pics when it arrives.

New Cushions

I had a frantic make before the weekend as I was seeing the family and have promised my sister in law some cushions. So here they are and off they went!
I'm listing as 'made to order' in my Etsy shop for now.
The Wonki Hugs character came from one of the Of Cabbages and Kings Markets last year. I'll dig around to find the name.

Just Made!

Yesterday's Makes.

Square Day

I had a great time today chopping up some of my printed panels. I have a romantic vision of making a big quilt for our bedroom, but whether I'll ever get round to it is another matter. I'd like to think that someone else might want to buy some of my fabrics and show me how it can be done!!!! I'm not quite sure how I'm going to market that one though, I may offer small groups of nine like the one below or a discount mix pack of the 4 piece panels to cut up yourself. It's easy to spend hours enjoyable messing around with the juxtaposition, I'd probably go mad.
I did get round to making some more lavender squares and a mini patchwork cushion, but the light was so rubbish by the time I'd finished, I'll leave that until tomorrow.
More fabrics are being listed in my Etsy shop as I write, I'm just waiting for the photos to load up. There's a neat little trick on Etsyhacks if you download Greasemonkey you can load up all your photos in one go! It takes a while to load, but at least you're not sitting and waiting to do them one by one.
look out for the new prints in my shop and here's a peek of the squares I chose for my little cushion.....
Pebble, Petal and Cirlces

Cut Flower in Buttercup Yellow

Circles in Zingy Lime Green

Circles in Light Mushroom

ABC Cushion

ABC in turquoise, just trying a few photos with my new camera. The wooden blocks were the initial inspiration for this design.
