Moon Gazing Hare

I have been working on upgrading the packaging on my Art Quilt Kits. The first one to get the treatment is the Moon Gazing Hare.

I am now using a brown card envelope which is much sturdier than the plastic I was using before, which means that the contents is better protected, and also means that they are now very suitable to give as gifts.

I also now provide each kit with just about everything you need to complete it (apart from thread). This means that as well as the hand painted fabric, template patterns and instructions, I also provide the iron on fusible, wadding, and backing fabric, which means that even those people who don't have a cupboard full of supplies can complete the kit.

Having done this I do hope that others can take my kits and put in their own spin, because I am all about people making things their own, and with that in mind here is one more photo for you.

Moon Gazing Hare kits now available here and here.

Away Days -teaching

Here is the proof that I have been teaching "overseas". A picture out of the car window whilst on the ferry.

I visited the lovely ladies of Vectis Quilters on the Isle of Wight, some of who you can see above.

I talked to them all about my work and the following day gave my Play With Paint workshop.

We tried out of lots of techniques for getting interesting effects on fabric using textile paint.

It was more of the same with North Somerset Quilters.

Thank you to both groups for inviting me, for making me feel so welcome, and for all your lovely messages since.

Happy St David's Day

Hand painted fabric with Bubble Jet image.

This is my interpretation of the Welsh Babe challenge I set to co-incide with St Davids Day.

Details of it's construction are on my Blue Hare blog.

This is.......

.........what I was doing yesterday.

Giving a 'Play with Paint' workshop to the lovely ladies of Swansea Quilters.

I always enjoy visiting this group as they are a happy friendly bunch.

I have never been kept so well supplied with tea and coffee!

As you can see we were a bit short on space, but everyone mucked in and we got lots done.

Thanks for inviting me ladies

Tag Along

I have been TAGGED!

Thank you to Heather whose work I love, for tagging this blog.

I was unaware of this blogging phenomenon but the rules are as follows

1. Tell who tagged you. (DONE)

2. Add a link to their blog.(DONE)

3. Award 3-5 bloggers who you think deserve this award.

My choices are Anne, whose work always makes me feel nostalgic because I used to live in Borneo too!

Sandra, who is a very well known and accomplished art quilter, but I love her work so much and I have two of her books, and her blog is so very informative.

And Marianne, because I have completely fallen in love with her "Quilt As You Go" quilts.

Inform them & post directions to your blogspot. (Will do)

The goal of this award is get more publicity to blogs that are good, but not so well known.

I can't say that the blogs I have chosen are not well known, but I like them and I hope you do too!

The pics are of the back of the work from my previous post. I think I would like to do something in black and white.
