Onto Gypsy Wife but the brain is not working
at full capacity so I've begun with a few
square in square blocks
the ones above will be 3" finished when they're all trimmed and sewn, the three below
will be 4".
My colours seem to be off on the last three, such a dreary, dull and wet day here
and usually my lighting is pretty much spot on but
seems not today!
I need a clear head and un-interrupted sewing time for the next block -
Nurses Cross - I don't intend working out the fabrics
with my off-sider in the room with me, I shall attack that tomorrow.
Did I ever show you a photo of three small works
by
Mandy Pattullo
a wonderful collage artist?
I bought these pieces from her about a year ago and they're now
framed and settled in a corner above my cutting table and the miniature
set of drawers which hold my threads.
If the light is good tomorrow
I'll take photos of each individual piece, they really are beautiful.
Apparently she will have a book out, I think in September, and that's
got to be added to my book shelves!
Time to go and make a huge pan of chicken soup for our evening meal,
lots of chicken, leek, cauliflower, kumara, carrot, sweet peppers, sweet corn
and lima beans - yummy!! Lots left over for the freezer too.
Enjoy the week!
