Hello there,

I have noticed that there have been a few new subscribers to this blog for which I am very grateful. However, this blog is no longer active. All posts have been transferred over to my active blog which is: http://landofdreaming.wordpress.com

I hope to see you over there.

Moving over

Jill — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 14:26:13 +0000

I have moved over all entries on this blog to what was my textile blog : http://landofdreaming.wordpress.com.

I decided it was time to present as a whole rather than compartmentalise

as I have been doing.

I want simplicity

one blog makes sense

in that case.

For all those who start their New Year on the 1st January 2010,

and those who started theirs on the Celtic calendar

I wish you all the very best

in every aspect of your life.

I shall be closing this blog completely in a few days time

so please bookmark the new one

many thanks.

Jill

Winter Quiltie

Jill — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 13:06:03 +0000

Actually the theme was Christmas but, well, we are coming into Winter so this is my offering :

The “snowflake” I cut from a vintage cloth – table setting I think. The ground is calico onto which I layered pieces of organza and netting, placing the snowflake on top, then stitching the whole. I really liked the result

Wild Things

Presently at Soul Food Heather, the creatress and wonder-woman, is taking us on a tour of the many and varied delights to be found within the SF vaults. I would encourage all of you to give it a whirl – you will find a link, click, perhaps be inspired by that first click, perhaps follow that link to another and another. The site is an absolute treasure chest of all sorts of prompts, inspirations and creative ideas whatever medium you work and play in. Do give it a go – here !

This is my first offering from the prompt: The Wild Things. I had and have so many thoughts on this so there may be more to follow, maybe not .

The text reads:

The wild things are

those thoughts unbidden

tumbling from my mouth;

those thoughts which maybe

should have stayed

well and truly hidden!

October 09 Quiltie

The theme this month was “Africa” – very broad, so much choice for this procrastinator. This is my offering. The cotton is hand painted using wax resist and layering which I then hand stitched.

London Wetland Centre

Another side of London, this centre is a ten minute train ride from Clapham Junction – the contrast is stunning!

Can you see us?

Wise Woman 1

For some years I seem to have been creating pictures in various media of older women – the Crones in my psyche I suppose. This is one such, painted with acrylics on hessian, that I don’t think I have shared before – she hangs on my small landing beneath a window where she greets me each time I climb or descend the stairs.

I am extraordinarily fond of her.
