When I took the job at the college to teach patchwork, I didn't realise how much paperwork it would generate. Not just all the form filling for the college, but the pages and pages of instructions. Normally I would just deminstrate how a block was made, or the sashings added, but because my students are compkete beginners, I need to give them fairly detailed instructions to remind them what to do when they finish their blocks at home
scribbles are all very well for me, but I think I will have to make a neater job of writing and drawing these instructions
I have been continuing to get things ready for Abbey Quilters' exhibition next month. I thought I ought to make the effort to stitch the eyes on the little birds on "Lillyanny"
I used a combination of sequins and beads
I have borrowed Stuart's Badger wallhanging for the exhibition. I like it so much, I may have to make one for myself!!
I've been toiling away on my hexies for Mrs Billings
after the fabric birdies, I have two real birdies to finish with. The first one came for a bath yesterday evening. I only managed to take one photo of him, but I think it is a young robin
then this evening Mr Blackbird arrived to do his ablutions
Malcolm is channel hopping. England's cricketers are battling to secure a draw in the Test Match, and their footballers (bunch of numpties) are trying not to lose their final game at the World Cup (having lost their first two). The Scotland footballers are much more sensible - they just don't bother to qualify, saving us the agony of defeat!!
