For many years, here in Australia, we could only purchase Vliesofix. It was quite good for years and years, (I think I used it for close on 15 years) occasionally it separated, but on the whole it worked well.I purchased it in 50 meter rolls and it sat in the corner of the studio….no special…

What do you do when you’re quilting?
Listen to music, Listen to the radio,Watch TV…..? I video tape special programs and watch them out here in the shed… my favorite station is BBC Knowledge and today I learned a few things about the first Emperor of China….. Qin Shi Huang,He wasn't a nice chappy really and through his brutality he he left…
Love me Tender – or tenter.?
Frances emailed me this morning with a smile in her words.Today you mentioned being on "tender hooks'"; I believe the term is actually " tenterhooks" implying a state of anxiety (and actually, in origin, is related to the manufacture of cloth!). Indeed Francis is correct Tenterhooks were used as far back as the fourteenth century…
Fancy photos…..
I I love this photo.Love the reflections. It's the bow of a boat in the water…. Using a photo imaging process I've enhanced it by changing it into a water color. I'm going to print out the photo and purchase fabrics to match on the next trip… This is the original Then again, I love…

A day of contrasts.
It's late, and I'm tired…. but I've just been reflecting on the day.The weather was warm, the breeze light and it was one of those days you don't want to end because it was so perfect. Daughter, Rachael and her friend became official "sewers" today as I waked them through the making of a small…
Portraits, finished the lilies.
I've balanced the details in the flowers with the amount of detail in the portrait. It would look rather strange if I added just pure white lilies with little definition. The shading and light source match well.I'm happy with the balance and 3D effect. Now I'm going to eat chocolate…..!!!!!
