I'm still here....

I've been here...looking at blogs but not blogging..very slack I know

these are a few journal covers I have made for upcoming markets in the warmer months
(boy it's been cold!)

and some nice bright ones...

and a sneaky peek at something else I'm working on.....

I used the beautiful Cottage Garden Threads on this one...the colour combinations are wonderful! Gives a really lovely finish and it was exactly what this design needed.

(now that blogger and my computer are finally co operating this post is done!)

finished this too

forgot to show you this ...
finished on the weekend too...
my version of Leanne Beasleys Remember noticeboard from Vignette 1

my frame was a little bigger so the pattern was used as a guide and I popped my own touches to it...hand quilted in perle 8 cotton...
very happy with it!

long weekend gone!

well the weekend is gone again...time sure is flying!
most of my plans for the weekend went west....
but all was not lost totally...
managed to spend a bit of time doing what I like...
I made 2 of these journal covers, the pink one and the green/black one...

helped my girls do the other two for their school diaries....

I think they turned out quite well!

also managed to do a bit more on my next new pattern...
most of the instructions are written,
the hand quilted is almost done...
binding next.
photograhy and then printing....

have a wonderful week..
