Flaming June
...also known as 'Rain Rain Go Away' June !
disappointing weather-wise to say the least BUT it didnt stop us having a bit of fun and getting out and about with Touchy Feely Textiles
As we hadn't seen lots of friends since the wedding we thought a Jubilee party would act as a great way to get friends together
Naturally the queen came to open officially open the proceedings and I got a little giddy when Wills arrived!

Patchings Art Festival
I decided to have a go at an Art Festival this summer, one that spanned over a few days rather than just a weekend. It's a great way to meet new people and there's always things to learn about how different people do what I do.
Tickly Spider
My next door neighbour to my left was `Tickly Spider` lots of lovely cushions, hearts, drawstring bags and also some lovely wooden clocks and framed work. My favourite was a childs` soother , beautifully soft and bright with lots of ribbons, it would keep me calm & quiet for a while never mind a baby!

Alex Mcquade Designs
And to my right was the very talented Alex McQuade Designs delicious tweedy textiles. Can you spot the rusty washers incorporated into the brooches, very lovely indeed. I may have bought some Christmas presents here shhh!

Stuff I made in June
And what have I been up to in June? I have been trying out some ideas for canvases I have a new stockist that has asked me for some larger scale textile pieces
Love is all you need... as well as a Habitat table cloth a very tiny waisted vintage skirt, a kilt and a damaged apron and some patience!

This was made using a poem I wrote for my wedding and the heart is cut out from all my selvedge edges of fabric sewn together. I actually sat and sewed them together at Patchings Art Festival in the middle of a field - that's a 1st!
OK I know I spelt it wrong but it kinda works! I was concentrating so much on my spacing and getting it all level etc that they
somehow got in the wrong order...
Selvedge edges again and a little help from Madness!
And to finish.
My favourite photograph I took this month. My youngest grandson and his mum blowing dandelion clocks
