How to lift the January Blues!
Wet, cold, dark outside. But there is fabric inside! On May 13th 2006 we last did this. Why so long to do it again? Our village hall - twenty or so women - SO much fabric - mat frames - simple tools and imagination!
(this is the back of the work! scrumptious or what?) 
the little sparkly bits are the packets of her son's favourite snack!
Valentine's day round the corner - Ali getting ready. I love what printed cotton fabric looks like when hooked like this.
Elmo - born in 2007 - this is about two feet square
this stuff makes my mouth water.
If you have checked out the last time we did this, there was food today too
All good - very very good.
Yep, ya 'hooked' me into commenting...cuz I really really like this craft and yet have never begun, other than purchasing a yummy book on primitive patterns. Just can't justify the time to take on another hobby. But certainly enjoy looking at pics of those who do!

How beautiful. I also read your blog from last year but I would still love to know how you get the rag strips through the material and what type of material or is it hessian that you use. Do you know of any sites that explain the technique. Thankyou so much for the inspiration.
