Showtime

I haven't been blogging but I have been busy doing other things .

The crochet is a blanket for cold nights to come . lots of pretty colours .

I think being as we have had such dire weather over the last couple of months I have compensated by using colour in my sewing . I made this bag using a product called Texture Magic . Fabric is sewn on then you use a steam iron hovering over the work and the whole thing shrivels up creating a very crinkled surface , A bit of fancy decoration on the seams gives it another dimension . I put a zip across the top . It really is a fun piece . I don't know when it will be used , perhaps at the next quilt show I visit . The picture below is the other side of the bag .

This picture is another little bit of colour It measures 9and 3/4 x 14 and 1/2 inches . Just a small wall hanging . I'm a big fan of  http://exhuberant colour . Wanda put a tutorial on her blog last week explaing how she makes these small hangings . They are raw edge and a fun way to use those bits in your stash bag not wide enough for a seam but too pretty to throw out .

I joined pinterest , it's a great place to look at the beautiful things other people create

Bye for now , I'll try to not be away so long in the future .
