Postman Dave's been ....

I arrived home from a great week in Witney, Oxford 

visiting my sister to find that Postman Dave had 

brought me this wonderful parcel from a very 

talented and generous friend in California.

I'm going to be adding these vintage fabrics 

to some patchwork curtains I'm planning to make for our bedroom 

I have a box of goodies from Constanza that I received 

some years ago and it is such a joy to dip in and out of it.

 Sometimes using some of the treasures within or just simply admiring them.

Look at the beautiful embroidered pieces here - a brooch, a needlecase 

and a gorgeous wall hanging which is so like the 

style of stitching I am currently doing.

So much inspiration and kindness from across the pond.

  Thank you Constanza

Gifts from California

This wonderful box of goodies arrived from California.  I'm overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity of web friend Constaza Berga aka Peregrine Blue. www.flickr.com/peregrineblue

First up this delightful needle case in my favourite fabrics.

Look at these brooches and handpainted box.

Stunning prints of Constanza's artwork

The piece on colour is an original and features tissue paper on corrugated card.

Finally a textile piece and a copy of one of her collages.

Thank you so much for your generosity Constanza. You are amazing :-)
