the awesome quilt!


So the quilt I had been working on was finished a while ago and I for some reason had been preciously guarding it. Its my first ever proper quilt. Its roughly a bit more than 2m x 2m.
It had taken me about 6 weeks just to quilt it and a few extra days do dye the fabrics, colour co-ordinate threads etc. The surface fabric is pure wool, back is silk dyed in yellow and violetish-grey and the wadding (batting) is cotton, all hand-stitched together with cotton threads. Finally, I have taken it out of the closet for some photos and here they are...








Busy May



The first market stall for Entanglewood was a learning experience as the firsts tend to be. And now I have got two more events to look forward to and keep me busy.

I will be at The Old Spitalfields market once again on the 19th May 11am till 5 pm. I am looking forward to this one as I feel better prepared now!





And you can also find Entanglewood at the Made in Clerkenwell open studios from 24th - 27th May! This will be the first event for Entanglewood of this kind and scale so I am really excited for it! 90 Designers across 2 building showing and selling unique handmade products. I would be on the 5th floor of St John street building. Do come along!
Admission is £2.50 (inc. both buildings and all 4 days)
