Tilly’s Craft video for you.
Tilly's crafting day. Tilly has been a crafter since her Mum gave her a roll of sticky tape aged 1. Before she could walk she was out in my studio, pulling the fabric out of the drawers. With her beloved sticky tape, she stuck everything to everything… on the TV, on the table on me……..

The true spirit of giving.

English: Signature of American Revolutionary War general John Glover (Photo credit: Wikipedia) At 13 I was able to go to the city on my own on the bus. I remember vividly the first time I saw this painting at the Adelaide Art Gallery. The House and Garden by John Glover. Glover is best known now…
My little piece of history.
Its highly likely this piece of crazy quilt I found at the farmers market this morning is English. The guy I bought it from tells me it was part of a quilt… but as you can see its just a top… I think he may have cut it up to sell. Anyway, I have a…
