Starting again

My beloved partner/husband died in May and it has been a sad and difficult time.  But I am getting back behind the sewing machine, picking up needle and thread and starting to enjoy the comfort of textile art again.

Just now I'm making dimensional flowers to adorn wall hangings or simply to make little corsages.  No photos yet, sorry.  Soon I'll make enough to put images on here.

I've been making children's quilts and am half way through several of those.  So therapeutic even though I haven't got grandchildren small enough to give them to, but they're not to part with at the moment, only to enjoy until somebody provides me with a great grandchild.

I hope to return to regular blogging now and I look forward to finding out if anyone out there is following along.

 And another thing .................  the hard drive on my laptop gave up and so I lost all the photos easily to hand.  but I do have plenty saved on USB memory sticks and will find them and reload.

Promises, promises and not much to look at today but this is just to say hello again and an effort to win back some readers.

So work in progress includes small wall art quilts with applique and hand embroidery, quilts for children, dimensional flowers for inclusion in wall hangings and purely for decoration.

Hope to be back soon.
