Views

I'm always on the look out for a good view.
This one is at Calke Abbey just above the top car park. You have to
stand in a certain spot.

 This is at the Elvaston Castle Old English Walled Garden.

I don't make textiles like this but images like this do influence
what I do.

New addition

We have a new addition to our garden. This bird table was made by my
grandpa a very long time ago and was never used. My other half added
a leg and I added the roofing felt. It was abit parky out there this
morning. We just have to give the birds time to find it. There is
another bird feeder about two yards away.

Quilt show at a racecourse

Went to Uttoxeter Racecourse yesterday with some friends and

bought a few bits. I didn't really want anything  but there were

some things that were irrisistable! We had a good day. I saw

people I usually see at this show or the FOQ. We got home

with empty purses and weary but happy.

Dead wood

I was out for a walk with a friend at one of my favourite places and

came across these very large pieces of felled dead trees. The markings

and colour are inspiring.

I'm not sure what will happen to these huge lumps of wood. I believe they
could be destined to be used as fuel for a biomass wood burner.

New blog

I've started a new blog just for textiles - Textile Elementals
I'll still keep this one going for some textiles and other stuff!

Cash4Quilts

Made these for http://www.quilt.org.uk/page-83-Cash4Quilts.html

Had to use the heritage quilts as inspiration. This one was inspired

by a piece made from woollen flannels used for miners shirts and

the one below was inspired by the hexagon quilts.
