Hanging out to dry…
Luckily I have a cellar where this saturated fabric can drip dry. It takes absolutely ages but there is no rush when I allow plenty of time.

Dabbing on the paint…
I’ve layered several pieces of threadbare cotton sheeting which I’ve sprayed with water. The paint I’m dabbing on will go through all the layers giving me plenty of backgrounds for future projects.

Cheery flowers…
for a very sad situation!!! I am making blue and yellow chiffon brooches with 100% of the proceeds going directly to the relief charities in Ukraine. From contemporary circles to crinkly edged petals there is something for everyone.

Pretty cards…
for endless occasions. My stash of vintage tray cloths are turning into an almost never ending mountain of cards.

And still more Mother’s Day cards…
Having so many tray cloths with floral designs in a variety of colours makes it a pleasure to create individual cards with a nostalgic feel.

Mother’s Day…
and I know it’s a month away but it will soon be here! So, I’ve given some vintage tray cloths that have seen better days a new lease of life as little cards that can be given for any occasion – not just Mother’s Day…

Fond memories…
I’ve been asked to turn some shirts into four cushion covers for a mum who has recently lost her son to cancer. It’s an emotional request to fulfill and quite daunting to make something that will be treasured.

Two swans a swimming…
It’s finally finished!! The Windsor Castle wallhanging is complete and the little swans finish it off nicely. The castle fabric and bugle beads catch the light beautifully and I really hope my friends will like this memento I’ve created for them.

Nearly there…
I’ve added bugle bead windows that will catch the light, a hessian pathway and some French knot flowers. The swimming swans are being machine stitched in place so now there’s only the Union Jack to add.
