Sorry if we missed you!

It was lovely to catch up with some of you at the Festival of Quilts, but it was a very quiet show this year.  I’ve blogged a little about it here.

The above picture isn’t a quilt, I thought I’d show you the latest in the one a day collage series.  If you have missed any you can catch up with them here.  Most of them are made using the conservation tissue and some feature a hand-carved stamp.  I’ll be publishing some more tutorials for the tissue in the next while.  I’ll let you know when the next one is there.

The Final Countdown

Today is day 10 in the mini collage series.  You can see them all here, with links to the original post by clicking the picture.

Some of them will be on view at the Festival of Quilts.  We’ll be there on stand H22, so come along and see what we have to offer, and talk about any of the online courses or other workshops that may interest you.  Time is running out for preparation.  We leave early tomorrow.  Hope to see you there.  I’ll be demonstrating scrinchies from time to time, don’t miss it!

Paper Fabric Tutorial

I love working with paper.  Recently I’ve embarked upon a ‘collage a day‘ exercise, but there are other ways in which I use paper.  One of the things I love to do is to convert flimsy tissue into a substantial surface that will work like a fabric.  It isn’t ‘fabric paper’, this is different, and is a technique I’ve been using for nearly 20 years.  Do let me know if you give it a go.  Lovely effects are possible and you can find all the details here.
