I'm involved in the International Quilt Challenge Group . Approximately every 2 months we have to complete an A3-sized piece for the group. For this challenge the theme was "Time". The deadline was the 24th April, so I spent last night watching a football match and sewing my binding on. For the background fabric I had an image of clock-tower from Graz, Austria. The piece was an experiment on transferring a photocopy using oil paints and gum arabic which I made about 3-4 years ago, and has been left bundled up in a scrap bin every since. It just shows that you should never throw any samples or textile experiments, they'll come in handy some day!! I then tried to find some clock or time-rel;ated fabric in my stash. Turned out that I nothing that I could use, so instead I gathered some watches from around the house (had to take some of people's wrists) and then just copied them onto fabric.

But because it's taken me so long to make one bag front, I'm think I'm just going to put a plain back on it and applique on a few left-over hexagons.    Burren project I'm currently working a panel as part of a group project with the Genesis Quilting Group . The panels will be based on the theme of the Burren. I've just finished basting my panel, so will have to crack on and get the quilting completed by 13th May, which is the next time the group is meeting. Can't show a photo of the panel at the moment, until the re...

I haven't had much time for crafting lately. About the only thing I've managed to finish in the past few months is this bag. I purchased the bag pattern from this website . The bag is a very handy size, I'm planning on making another one in blue fabric when I get a chance. Hopefully this weekend I can get around to finishing another project...
