I AM THE LITTLE RED ROOSTER.....
Another chicken lyric today, or could that be subterfuge? You'll see why later...
It's been another busy week, there's been a lot more sunshine (Yay!) and a bit more warmth (Double Yay!) and spring flowers are appearing everywhere (Triple Yay!)
The strip quilt for the lad was finished:
The camo backing worked well and he was really thrilled with it, which is lovely! I had some other blocks made up so thought I might as well get another made and see if it goes at one of the craft fairs in March:
It's my aim to use up every little last piece of the fabric I buy! I bought a dove grey cotton double duvet cover from the Bargain Bin in Dunelm for £6, so got two quilt backs out of that, woohoo!
I turned my machine sideways on the cleared desk in the JanCave which spread the weight of the quilt more evenly:
I have enough blocks for one more quilt and then that's it for a while.
I saw great tutorial on YouTube by a watercolour artist called Krista Robertson, where she splodged a background and then used flower stencils to take the paint off and leave a negative image, the stencils were very cheap so:
Aren't they pretty? I think these will get a lot of use.
As well as crafting, there's been walking:
A panorama from the Gower round to the RNLI station. Funny to think that if you headed out straight out in front of you, then the next land you'd hit would be the mid to south east coast of America. No wonder the storms come barrelling across the Atlantic and we have huge tides too!
And today's lyric? A postbox topper appeared in a nearby village featuring that arch villain Feathers McGraw:
Absolute genius! Kudos to whoever crafted him, it's marvellous. So there's the Little Red Rooster....or not....
Have a wonderful week everyone, the weather is set fair apart from today, so there's more walking and crafting in store, can't be bad eh?
