This is my first page for a quilted book. I decided on small (6 x 4 inch) as I don't have much time, but want to get creatively moving again!
Theme will be about my childhood... thats me in the photo!!

I was lucky enough to attend a workshop last weekend, a real fun play day. We made fabric beads, wrapped with gold thread and seed beads. The "quilt" in the middle if made from polyshrink - you draw you design on the polyshrink plastic and then heat it with a heat gun until it shrinks - so much fun!

This month was my "turn" for our quilt friendship meeting. I asked all the girls to make me a block using 3 1/2 inch squares of all different fabrics to make a scrap quilt. Here are a few but there is enough to make a single size quilt. I have my stash to raid yet so I hope to make a double size quilt... eventually!

I was show by a friend in the weekend how to make felted balls - (they are about 2 cm diameter) I think they are meant to be used as beads - but I just like them to look at, although I have to hide them from my cats as they love the wool!!
