JannArt: February 2009
http://jannart.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, 15 February 2009. At last I have found a bit of inspiration. I haven't been feeling very motivated to do any textile work lately but I now have the next week off work and I feel like having a play. This is another book I have made today. This week I am hopefully going to start working on a piece for Textiles for Two. It will be part of a project I am doing with my friend Ali. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Alis Clair: February 2009
http://alis-clair.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 27, 2009. A lovely picture and an update. I have always loved the look of, and wanted, a photograph on stretched canvas. Well now I have one and I am very pleased with it too. The canvas came from Bags of Love. Who do lots of wonderful, high quality gifts with your photos. This is not one of the official photos and to be completely honest I don't know who took it, but it just sums up the joy of Laura and Toby's wedding day and I am thrilled to have it now hanging on my wall. We meet once...

JannArt: April 2009
http://jannart.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 28 April 2009. I did actually spend something on myself as I could not resit buying these craft bags to store some of my bits and pieces. My excuse was that it will help tidy my workroom! I just love the colour. I also bought some wire and beads to knit with. Petrol/Kingfisher blue must be my colour at the moment. Sunday, 12 April 2009. This is a little evening bag I made for Textiles for Two. Friday, 10 April 2009. Jewellery Swap for Unlimited Textiles. Tuesday, 7 April 2009. A Stitch in Time.

JannArt: May 2009
http://jannart.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, 10 May 2009. What to do with leftovers. I had some pieces of fabric left over from making the jewellery swap last month for Unlimited Textiles. I was just about to put them in my hoard to save them for that day 'when I know they will come in useful' when I thought why not turn them into brooches. So here is the result. The fan shaped one just had to have a tassel added on to it. As soon as he realised it wasn't food he quickly lost interest. Thursday, 7 May 2009. Wednesday, 6 May 2009. She decide...

Alis Clair: January 2009

Wednesday, January 28, 2009. Just in time for Valentines Day. The swap at Textile Challenges. This month is for a padded heart to be made in time for Valentines Day. Well, unusually for me, I am on time and here is my heart. The heart panel is made from layers of singed organzas and lots of free machine embroidery. I don't think they show but there are little hearts embroidered with the gold thread. The heart itself is made of patterned velvet and the whole thing is lightly stuffed. It measures 6ins long.

Alis Clair: March 2009
http://alis-clair.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 24, 2009. The theme for March at Unlimited Textiles. I love arches and ceiling bosses in cathedrals and I remembered a visit we made to Fountains Abbey a few years ago. In particular the vaulted ceiling of the Cellarium. The Cellarium is only inhabited by bats now. Another Gothic feature maybe but no bats here on this quiltie. I used purple satin for the background and cut arch shapes from dark green velour. Tuesday, March 24, 2009. Friday, March 20, 2009. In need of renovation. Machine st...

http://jannart.blogspot.com/2009/05/for-textiles-for-two.html
Monday, 4 May 2009. For Textiles for Two. For the month of May it was Ali's. Turn to choose the piece we were to make for. She decided we should make a cuff and the theme we had chosen was Byzantium. This is the work in progress and the first cuff of two that I made. If you wish see both cuffs please visit Textiles for Two. Oh Jan, I love that. Tuesday, 05 May, 2009. Beautiful, beautiful - you are a couple of very talented ladies! Thursday, 07 May, 2009. So nice to hear from you. Sunday, 16 August, 2009.

Alis Clair: May 2009

Thursday, May 21, 2009. Kandinsky and a Bracelet. Well I have been feeling very under the weather and very unsociable but, I have been working quietly away in the background. I am now looking forward to catching up with reading the blogs I love and posting a little of my work. This little 5ins quiltie was made for the April swap on Unlimited Textiles. The theme was the artist Kandinsky. I love the freedom o his work and the colour combinations he uses. Is one of my favourites and this is my version of it.
