Crochet fabric bag





I have been staying home a bit and spending time with my dear mum. This is what she has been doing, I have been trying to sort stuff from the warehouse and finding lost keys.
We lined it with an old silk scarf . The handles are just pinned ready to sew.

Effie's embroidery




Effie has been on holidays (welcome back) and has been busy embroidering her baby blanket that her mum had kept for her. Isn't it beautiful. It is so nice I had to show and tell.
The design is from the promotion books for Liberty of London's new summer seasonals due in Jan11. This design is by Lucy Boden. Effie's favourite childhood story was the owl and the pussycat so this was perfect.
Liberty has commissioned artist/illustrators for many designs in this coming crop.

Les Olivades




Here are some of the beautiful fabric from Les Olivades that have just arrived. I am thinking of using the large floral in the centre for my new quilt. Yes I know they are expensive but isn't everything good!
Sorry about the lack of fabrics on my website at the moment this will be rectified soon. Narelle has been a bit busy getting my figures done for the end of financial year. I will keep you posted.

Liberty Love


Well I will be very glad when this month is finished and the massive job of clearing out the warehouse is finished.
Thanks again to anyone who came and bought again today. It was a bit crazy this morning with all the usual dealers swarming in after it was advertised in the Age.
This made me realize how lovely my normal customers are who came along to the warehouse sale last week and this week are. Thanks again.
I am loving looking at at the new Seasonal Liberty fabrics that came in last week planning a new quilt. To make it even more tempting for you all, a new shipment of the covetable French fabrics from Les Olivades arrived yesterday. They certainly know how to get it right.
I will take a photo when I work tomorrow.

New Week





Welcome to the new week, even though it is Tuesday. I am still wading through the stuff in the warehouse even though i have cleared quite a bit. At least my house smells gorgeous now as the Place des Lices cosmetics have a new home in my proposed studio space, which has been put on hold.
It has been very enjoyable working in Patchwork for the last few weeks while Effie has a well deserved holiday. She will be back next week, leaving me more time to continue clearing and shifting.
There is another Sale on Saturday 17th and I will be making deals! the more I sell the less I will need to move. Only the few things that I will be taking home and putting in scarlet will be exempt. So come along.
Meanwhile I have finished dying the scarves Mum I were making here are the results. Also here is my Mum's latest crochet fabric rug. Have a good week.
