The new shoulder bag has an outing to Westonbirt Aboretum. Brunel Broderers will appreciate the necessity of hot drinks and cake. We did have a marvelous walk amongst the flowering magnolias first to earn the cake!

Keep looking, keep seeing, new work is unfolding and growing for the next BB exhibition...very exciting

Curiously Enough - Carla's work in progress

New work in progress for our exhibition at Ruskin Mill in June.....

Some pages from my sketchbook of printing experiments with wooden blocks and press print. I am now stitching into some of the prints.

Februarys bag - Quilted and hand stitched with long handles and tiny button fastenings to enlarge capacity. A bag for Lizzie.

Busy BB's

Another BB workshop coming up next Sunday! Plenty of work to share whilst making too, with 'Curiously Enough' coming up at Ruskin Mill in June and preparations well under-way, 'Suited' for Stroud in 2013 and now another exciting opportunity for June to August this year, 'Mending my Ways' at Musgrove Hospital, Taunton.  Busy BB's I reckon!!

At an early meeting this year we were all anticipating the arrival of Amy's baby - Amy Houghton was a BB (you can also see her work on Tweave) and Alison and I wanted to make a special wrapping blanket. This meant teaching myself to crochet, and there are some amazing blogs out there for inspiration (will ask to link one) . I made lots and lots of granny squares and Alison designed and constructed the blanket, including a wonderful edging. A BB collaboration - and a special present.
