It’s that time of year when it takes parcels far too long to arrive….. my parcel was only an hours drive away at 04.04am this morning.  Maybe they’ll get it booked in sometime soon?  Amazing they can know its arrived, but its waiting a booking in date – isn’t that the same thing?  Or are they deciding when to put it onto the van and drive north?

Harrogate, Part 2– I have been trying to write this but have given up for two reasons – 1. I realised that I couldn’t, because of copyright issues, post pictures of other peoples work that I liked and 2. I find as I get older that I’m less easily impressed and only really, really liked three pieces of work.  The days where everything excited me are long, long gone.    

Back in the studio I’m working on two very different projects.

Firstly a hanging for DS – he saw Frieda’s circle quilt and asked for one like it.  Having taken a class with Frieda on piecing circles I was well armed with knowledge, if not patience…. piecing is not my favourite task.  Not by hand, not at all really.  Each to their own and I know it makes some people’s bells tinkle, that’s wonderful, it just doesn’t tinkle my sleigh bells.

I wonder what Frieda thinks of the colour scheme!  Very different from hers.
(Sure she’ll tell me! Hello Frieda!)

Mostly chosen by DS himself and with a fern pattern to remind him of our trip to NZ (they are all fossil fern fabrics).

Guess what I’m stitching this evening – once he’s off to bed…

The second project involves using the inspiration of Bamburgh Beach and “Coast”, not a cut seam in sight (oh the freedom of ripping silk).
