Filling a different gap!
Quilting my new piece is progressing slowly because this week has been a bit of a box ticking week. I’ve been working through the list of ‘stuff’ that I decided to get done before I teach again on the 17th. The most time consuming, and the most fun, has been working through my pile of demo / sample fabrics and making up some new fabric packs for the website. Have a look at the fabric section of my shop. I’ve added a few more Wonky Print Inspiration Packs, this time in Cotton Poplin rather than Plain Cotton, and a few Absolutely Darling Hand Dyed Packs. I’ve also added two new types of pack. My new Cool Coordinating Colour Families contain fifteen different coloured pieces of hand dyed fabric. I love working with colour families - using dark, medium and light values of two starting colours you get fifteen pieces of fabric that will always ‘work’ together. And I have introduced a new pack called One of a Kind. These packs contain larger pieces of breakdown printed fabric that are just too good to chop up and use in my Wonky Print packs. Some of the pieces are samples from my Breakdown Your Palette book and some are demo pieces from my Breakdown Your Palette workshops. These new packs are priced individually based on the amount of fabric in each pack. I hope you like them!
I have also added a new gallery page to my website featuring my Print series. OK, so this should have been added 18 months ago but I got distracted! I’m not sure if these pieces will ever get an outing again but at least now they are ‘out there’ in the virtual world!
And I got around to adding three new Thermofax designs to my shop. I designed these for my online version of Breakdown Your Palette and rather love them. I’ve also asked my silk screen manufacturer to make me some square screens (which should have been done a year ago!). They will be 16 inches x 16 inches and I’ll add them to the shop as soon as they are in stock.
Other boxes ticked …. I fixed the toilet seat in the Bog Shed (it’s a glamorous life!). Thanks to the lovely Sue I’ve managed to find an electrician to check the lighting circuit in the studio which is playing up. He can’t visit until early June but at least he answered his phone. I guess electricians are in demand. I brought some plants for the garden which are sheltering in the studio porch because the weather is awful. And I’ve ordered a coat stand for the studio porch. Its turquoise. I’m very excited!
Now back to my quilting …
