Here is a photo of my angel wallhanging that I have just finished. I’m also making a bed quilt to match but I haven’t started quilting that yet! This one was nice as it’s small enough to handle easily. I had major stressing over the faces and hair, as I just couldn’t get anything to look right. But here it is finally finished!
I’ve just finished this month’s block of the month. It seemed much harder this month, but I think that was more to do with me being so worn out rather than the block being hard. I really like this one, I love big bold flowers. It just seems amazing that I have already got 2 done, how fast this year is going by!
I’m feeling really hyped up today as I’ve just booked tickets to see Tori Amos (my favourite singer/songwriter) in concert in July. I always seem to get myself into such a state about booking seats for concerts and big theatre shows. I can never decide where I want to be and am convinced that they will sell out before I can buy any tickets. Anyway I’ve got fairly good seats that I am happy with, so roll on July!
Here’s my latest project. I’ve always loved braided rugs but have never had the courage to have a go or a place that really needed one. I’m planning on putting down a water resistant laminate in the kitchen and I figured a rug would be nice there. I went to a big fabric sale on saturday and fell for some beautiful batiks in red/pinks, yellows and browns and decided to have a go at making a braided rug. Unfortunately I have run out of fabric! It’s currently 18" across and I want it at least 36". I’m hoping that I can buy some more of the fabrics, otherwise the outer half will have to be a contrast colour. It’s actually alot brighter coloured in real life, but hopefully the photo gives an idea as to what it looks like.
I’m finally back online again and blogging again after suffering from a really horrible ‘flu. I don’t think I’ve ever had ‘flu before, just bad colds, so it came as a nasty suprise. I’m still not 100%. I’ve still got a cough and keep getting headaches but I’m feeling much much better.
