Well, I guess it's sort of finished. It's rather boring looking really. BUT. I am happy with the way the pencil worked on the fabric. It's waxy and resists the water when you spray it to get rid of the blue liner pen. I did re-apply a light coating of the pencil on part of…

Almost finished.
I've almost finished the little AgaPamthus No1. I'll show you the finished article tomorrow.. Did you wonder if I was able to completely get the blue pen out? Well, I'll share more tomorrow. I have been photographing all day and just arrived home… and it's almost bed time, so tomorrow will have to do. But…
Quilting pattern
This is the preparation for the quilting. I folded a piece of paper in half and lightly sketched the existing image on the paper… I'll finish it… then draw it in pen and trace the image onto my quilt with a wash out pen. It looks busy, but it will be the same color as…
Fanciful Aggy No 2.
The picture is complete… now I'm going to prepare it for quilting. The background quilting will be a totally different pattern. These are the pencils used… prisma. The design is my own and I know the leaves are not the right shape for an aggy, but… I like them.

It's been a hectic couple of days, but as promised… here's the quilting video.
Pajamas Day
I stayed in my pajamas until 12.00 today. I came out to the shed at 7.00, time went by so fast and I didn't realize how late it was until I looked down and still had the jamas on. I hadn't even spoken to Keith all morning…. that's terrible. I was creating a couple of…
