Teaser

    I am afraid that mine will not be ready in time. Earlier in the year I made a sample, a tiny portion of which is in the photo, and wanted to develop it further. The original worked, but for this quilt I made a few changes and it has been nothing but trouble. I had to cut part of it out, and cobble together the background from the remains plus the scraps that were left. I took it on holiday with me, intending to do the quilting, but found another major problem, which had to wait until I returned home to sort out. I am now quilting and hope to finish it maybe next week... unless it has any more surprises for me!

This is my imaginary tree. It was fun to create and I enjoyed doing all the free motion stitching.

Weeping Willow

 In 2007 my UK family took me to visit Normandy in France.  We stayed in a lovely house near a small village (the name eludes me now) and at the side of their garden was a small river and Willow trees.  It was a magical time we spend there and brings back many wonderful memories.  I thought I would try and capture those memories in my piece.  It took quite a long time to put together but I really enjoyed the process.
