Cushion-making workshop coming up...

If you'd like to learn how to make an envelope backed cushion from your own material, then come along to the workshop I'll be running in June! (see the workshop page for details...)

And to whet your appetite, here are a few cushions that were produced for a commission. They show use of blanket stitch, straight stitch and my hand-printed imagery.



Reverse Applique Piccies

Here are is an image of some reverse applique I've recently produced - hope you like it!

I will be running a workshop soon, so if you're interested do get in touch and let me know!

West Norwood's Feast!

Today has been fabulous - amy aardvark has been soaking up the sun in the heart of West Norwood where a new, monthly event has been unveiled.

West Norwood's Feast, http://westnorwood.spacemakers.org.uk/, will be held on the first Sunday of every month and kicked off with a great fanfare, plenty of bunting and pre-ordered sunshine. The rain stayed away and the West Norwoodians came out in their hundreds to find the treasures on display in the Retro Village, Gardeners Corner, Artisans' Market and the Food Fair.

amy aardvark could be found in the fArtisans' Market, promoting her next bout of courses, the first of which will be the 'Dark Art of Applique' on Saturday 9th April. She was also to be found with the prints by rather talented Amy Hutchings http://www.etsy.com/shop/amyhutchings

I will post up piccies later, but for now, it's time to play with the baby (I've missed her today)!
