Well here we are at last, the long long long overdue City and Guilds course work. (teacher is still waiting for the artwork but thats another matter)

On the left is my wall hanging its very small yet perfectly formed. In desperation to get it done, I used a combination of a greetings card which was a reproduction of a silk painting of Ingleborough and a flyer which showed the 3 peaks Ingleborough, Whernside and Penyghent, which are near my house. I drafted the 3 peaks on the flyer into the style of the silk painting and diddled it up using Cathedral windows. I've got to admit I was pleasantly surprised by the result. I may even give it houseroom!!!

This beauty is making its second appearance on my blog tho probably looked better the first time with the freezer paper still on. Using reverse trapunto I have written 'for the journey' and 'serendipity' I also drew footprints on the bag. Stuff the picky the pockets inside are well good and just right for my extensive collection of rulers!

(all hand dyed fabric)

Proof of my commitment to seeing things through (don't know when I aquired that skill or where I've stored it since i got it) but get a load of the clam shells... yes all sewn by hand the cushion and the fish with it's loose flippy flappy fins. Oh and I forgot to mention it's all dyed by my own fair hand.

This is my box with its lovely plush red interior and below is the foundation pieced lid... impressed? I was very impressed, I designed, drafted and turned my lovely rounded picture into a foundation piecing pattern. Again all hand dyed fabric (all of it) It was going to become a stable for a nativity scene but I didn't have the time so now its a box for keeping something in. Whats the something? I have no idea.

Finally here is the famous kite quilt, all hand dyed, designed and created by me
and now being snuggled into everynight by the lovely Leon. The quilt is being displayed by the lovely Natalie who will no doubt have something very unpleasant to say about my flashing her preety mug on my bloggy
