Whats on my workdesk today.....

Its not my desk its my bed......
When I asked lovely Helen Witcombe Helen's blog link if she could make me a cover for my bed little did I realise how much of her time it would take.
 
 First of all she made me this cushion to see if I liked the colours.  I wanted it to go with the latest picture from my friend textile artist Barbara Jepson who creates these fantastic pictures by batiking the background then she appliques on top with different fabrics and machine embroidery.  As most people know I am Barbara's number one fan. www.barbarajepson.com
NOW I am Helen's number one fan.  Look at some of the pictures she sent me of her progress.


 Here's Helen hard at work
 Ta-dah here is the finished blanket.
Isn't it fantastic.
From the bottom of my heart THANK YOU Helen

  7. Oh, Lynn it really is fabulous and having made 6 since last March I know how much work is in them. I am really going to have to make myself one next. Just rushing to finish the edges on the 2 single bed ones ready to take to the curly girlies in Brighton next week. Will finish on the journey if not before so the last one will keep me warm on the way.
    love Jo x
