Broadband

-
Finally got mobile broadband yesterday! Yay..... I've been stuck in the dark ages up till now using a dial-up connection all along which was getting slower and slower.
Hopefully, this should mean that this blog will get a lot more attention from me i.e. more photos and posts.

    Hi Thank you for your comment on my blog.
    I am doing the draw later this evening.
    Its nice to meet a blogger from Ireland. Where are you? I've been to Ireland quite a few times, Galway, Clare, Cork and Dublin. I went to Ballyvaughn about 15 years ago and found a fabulous textile studio belonging to Seamus McGuiness. Its not there now but it was amazing to stumble across lines of newly dyed scrim hanging outside.
    I love your Doaurnenez boat piece.

    Did you get the second comment? It seemed to disappear.I was just explaining how you can edit your profile so you are not a no reply blogger. At the moment its hard to find you.
    I love Ennis. Went about 5 years when we stayed in Kilrush.

    Congratulation on your broadband, Claire. It gives me hope that one day it might also reach the Scottish Borders!

Haven't got much sewing over the past few days - just finishing up the Spring Issue of the Irish Patchwork Society Newsletter for the printers. Did manage to get a few ATC's done though - they're made using fabric scraps (some from my as yet unfinished "Branching Out" quilt)! Have got a few more postcards done for the "Branching Out" exhibition as well, which I'll be putting in the post next week. Photographs to follow next week.

My brother & sister-in-law are expecting a baby the 1st week in May so I decided yesterday that I'd get started on making a baby quilt. It's a bit bright but luckily babies like bright colours! I've got most of the blocks made at this stage, so a few more evenings & the quilt top should be done..

Dislocation quilt, just finished

I have just submitted my online entry to the Dislocation Challenge. Dislocation is the theme for this year's Contemporary Quilt Group Challenge. Here's a detail shot of the quilt, will holding off showing the whole quilt for a while. I called my piece "In the Street Where I was Lost". When I was researching items on the theme of "Dislocation" I came across an article by Samuel Beckett in which he mentioned cultural dislocation, and being lost in the street of places that he used to know. So I was inspired by that idea when coming up with my quilt idea. Still have to add a sleeve and label, but that won't take too long. Now I have to go and make the sample of the quilt to send off as part of the jurying process.
