Another quick easy tutorial for binding.  Each time I vlog I learn something new. Still be kind with your comments.  

This tutorial is slightly shorter than the last binding vlog as I did not repeat some of the steps.

I quilted this wall hanging but unpick it as I did not like it. That was many years ago! 

During 'lock down', I thought it just needed a simpler style of quilting and to be finished. 

After quilting it, just sat in my UFO box. I have decided that this winter I am going to tried and complete as many UFO ...

 Warning: Loads of photos!!

Hi everyone! Well, it's been a very long time since I've posted. Good grief, where did the time go?!

I've been quite busy doing all sort of things. I'll do a show and tell to show what's been going on in my life.

Followers know that I’ve been an Island Batik Ambassador for six years. It’s been a lot of fun being an Ambassador, with every year full of creative challenges and of course, gorgeous batiks! But as much fun as it’s been, the full schedule of an Ambassador has kept me from growing my business in other directions.

So what am I planning for 2023?

First, I’m still going to be your go-to Batik Queen!

I’m continuing my association with Island Batik, but this time as more of a Designer as this year I’ll be releasing ...

Irina Shaar from Fiberchats asked me if she could interview me for her Fiberchats channel on YouTube.  I said "Yes", and here's the result.  

Irina mainly interviews knitting designers and people who hand dye knitting wool, but she's branching out and interviewing other fiber artists too now. 

I hope you enjoy my interview!

Now it's time for the Peacock Party.  Feel free to link up a recent blog post below.  

There are diversions and then there are DIVERSIONS!  Organizing can be one of those.  I finished the BIG piece I’ve been working on and instead of leaping into something new, I got sidetracked with organizing.  Organizing my work space, it’s pretty small so it takes some doing to spend more than a few hours on […]

I’m not feeling great.  I should probably just end this post right here.  But, no, I’ll soldier on. Not because this post is important, it’s not, but because it represents all the things on my to do list and so much that is just life. No one needs to hear my laundry list of “woes”, […]

So here’s the thing…  I feel a whole lot better when I show up even when I feel awful, even when I feel things are rough and I’m tired, even when I don’t want to.  I’ve also learned that showing up anyway is the single best remedy for not continuing to feel that way. Except […]

This blog is a reminder of my mother.  She was my biggest supporter and commented over the years more than anyone else. It was through this blog that I often kept in touch with her and towards the end it was the one full proof way I knew I could reach her, especially when my […]
