Well I am back and ready to begin.....

I have some good news first my baby passed 5 A levels and is going to St Marys University in Twickenham to become a primary school teacher. She starts in a few weeks when Pope Benedict XVI is visiting at the same time, how good is that?

Here's my baby - 17 years ago!


Also before I left I entered a competition at the William Morris Gallery and when I got home there was a letter waiting for me announcing that they've accepted my piece as part of their Inspired by William Morris exhibition.

I am so pleased so if you are around please pop into William Morris gallery.

Here are a few pics with details.....


Also at long last I have finished my quilt - after just a little mishap in the in the middle of making it, accidentally loosing it and then finding it in the boot of my car underneath some material! But here it is in all its colourful glory!

Maisie's quilt.....

Well I have finally finished this play quilt for Maisie. It is a sample quilt, when I started to make it we didn’t know whether the baby was a girl or a boy so I picked more neutral colours.

I was born in 1955 (yes I know I don’t look it ha ha) so I went for these 1950's style prints. The colours really remind me of the 50's as well as my mum loved wearing green because she had auburn hair.

It's really special as it is our first family heirloom for our first granddaughter. We have already had some good times playing on it and i've even had to wash it as she has already christened it!!








Here she is on her first Christmas card that Kirsten made looking as cute as ever....
