Update from Towse who still sews no matter where she is!

Just spent a happy few days in St Ives, Cornwall where the view is beautiful and when the sun comes out the sea turns Mediterranean blue. The food, drink and ice cream is also lovely but the less said about that the better.

First a finish. I have fully completed my sewing group challenge inspired by the roof of Marylebone station and I have to say that now it is quilted I am very happy with it. So happy that I will take it to the next group show and tell that I attend. 

The next pic is the applique cushion cover that my nephew brought me back from Delhi. Looks so much better with a cushion pad.

Then there is the selection of fabric that my mate Stu brought back from a business trip to Portland, Oregon. As a result of that this blog now has a new 'friend', Martha, who is the lovely lady who took Stu off to the fabric store and helped him choose his wonderful selection. (One of which Doug has already 'appropriated' for his own stash! I'm hoping that Doug will post his own creations very soon. I have to introduce him to Drunkard's Path next I think!

The last picture is of a part done 1970s EPP piece that Silve has passed on to me, it having been 'rescued' from being dumped at a charity shop. When it came to me it was in several pieces with some odds of fabric left. It seemed to me that so much work had gone into it already that it was a shame not to try to complete it. This picture was actually taken when I had dismantled the smaller pieces to that I could build up the main piece. At this stage I was edging all the flowers with white and working out how to shape it. I took it to St Ives with me and finished it!! But that picture will have to wait for next time.!
