Calamity Jane: December 2013
http://pam-calamityjane.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Friday, 13 December 2013. A wonderful weekend at Debden House in Loughton again for Anne Stacey's quilting Christmas weekend. We had a really great time and did lots of chatting laughing, too much food and all in all a good time was had by one and all. Hilary wanted to finish putting her Bathing Belles together that she had started with Anne earlier in the year and then she got into the festive mood and made this log cabin table topper - it looks lovely and she is busy quilting it. The weather was lovely...

http://pam-calamityjane.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, 22 June 2013. A busy week leading up to our All Nighter. Well it has been a lovely week, it has flown by as they always do. Today is Barbarba's Birthday and I made her this bag and a little bag to match. I have been enjoying making these bags as you will have seen from previous posts. The fabric is lovely and the bag just made in two colours came out really well. it has four pockets inside, as well as the outside pockets. Tuesday, 18 June 2013.

Playing with food, fabric and thread. Thursday, 11 December 2014. For the love of sprouts. A bit of a bonus blog today! Not the ultimate flapjack, more the ultimate sprout. I'm on a mission to convert all sprout-haters with this dish, which we've enjoyed (hugely) for lunch this week. It's so good, we had it twice! 1 Get over-excited in the vegetable aisle and grab a very large bag of Brussels sprouts. I had 750g here, and that fed two of us twice - serves four, indeed! 3 While the pancetta and onion are ...

threadnoodle: September 2014
http://threadnoodle.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Playing with food, fabric and thread. Tuesday, 30 September 2014. Teaching Tuesday - owls, butterflies and teapots. Goodness, where does the time go. Right. No messing about. We've practiced our free machining, and now we're ready to stitch something slightly more interesting than wiggly lines. How about a bit of applique? You get a sheet of Bondaweb. To throw away.only me? Make sure you overlap the pieces, you don't want gluey stuff getting onto your iron. I think this is Libby's piece:. Cut it out,.

threadnoodle: March 2015
http://threadnoodle.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Playing with food, fabric and thread. Friday, 20 March 2015. I've been so unbelievably slack with posting pictures of the amazing work happening in class, so now I'm going to have to pay for it with a massive post to show what we've been doing! First, way back in January, we indulged in my favourite stitchy exercise - strips of texture, sari silks and wot-not. These were then embellished with metal bits and pieces, in the following weeks, as we got more confident stitching on metal:. You can also stitch ...

threadnoodle: Ready-made projects
http://threadnoodle.blogspot.com/2015/04/ready-made-projects.html
Playing with food, fabric and thread. Friday, 24 April 2015. A while back a group of us planned a biggy "proper" exhibition, in a gallery and everything, and I started a series of work based on one of my husband's poems. Well then the others got cold feet, so we cancelled and my work was put in a box file and shelved. Fast forward and I actually have three exhibitions coming up this year, with an urgent need for new work! Sketchbook pages ready to be stitched and bound. Painted papers for collaging ideas.

Sunday, 8 June 2014. Mid may Rob had his sixtieth birthday, we were actually in Florence and then we had a birthday party with all the family . We had a lovely time little Leo was a great help blowing out his candles on the lovely cake that Liz and Tom made for him. His birthday treat was to feed the Lions at Paradise Wildlife Park in Broxbourne Hertfordshire. Then yesterday I made this lovely purse and card holder again in some nice batik fabric.
