Flower power

I was inspired to use some bits of indigo 19th cent. quilt that are so wrecked it had to be something small to use them. I love these prints and the quilts so much every piece is precious to me.
I was thinking about fabric mattress buttons which I am about to make from ticking when I got this idea and this is the result, what do you think?

Driftwood fun

As a result of the lovely afternoon beachcombing with a couple of friends I was able to complete my first Dritwood Christmas tree. I had a little construction help with my resident " engineer " who did not want to be left out.
I bought this gorgeous rustic snowman in Oslo and he looks well at home on my tree , there a few finishing touches to do but I could not resist showing you a sneak preview.
I hope it will decorate my stall at the various Christmas events we are doing this year.
The wind was so wild last night I think another visit to the cove is called for

Napoleonic living History at Dorchester

Lizzie had excelled herself in setting up the stall

Well done Sheila !

The Chagford Rag Mkt was the talk of the town ! and a lovely place it is too.
Sheila had excelled herself and we were packed out all day with happy shoppers. When I went down to the shops they were all raving about it so can't wait for the next one.
It was such fun too with lots of enthusiastic, interesting customers . The little group of card tables where you could sit and have a cup of tea was lovely and people stayed for ages .
Thank you Sheila
