Inchies and other quilty things.

Have you found inchies? I have only just begun to make these little works of art and I find them adictive, I am already planning to do more. I have also ordered a book called Inchie Quilts forget the name of the quilter, yes another book after I said no more!! One of the reasons I decided to give inchies a try was the size, no need for a large work area or lots of fabric, I also think they could be done by hand yet another reason to make them, and they can be used in quite a wide variety of ways.Can you tell I'm hooked??? Because of all the stuff going on right now my brain stops working and my memory goes on holiday, do you get the picture, so small is good.Its now only 10 weeks until we move and it may sound a long time but it will fly in with that in mind we have readied our llittle caravan and its close to ready to go. I have another quilt to finnish very soon, this one needs to be ready to go BEFORE we move however I think its almost there not much more stitching by machine then its embellishing and hand work which I can do later. This one has to be mailed to the U.S. and if all goes to plan I can send it off July ish.The theme was famouse pairs. my first attempt morphed into Sonny and Cher still w.i.p. but what I started to do was Adam and Eve so I had to start all over again this time it stayed as Adam and Eve with an apple.I tried to work the same way as Pamela Allen, I have her DVD Think Like an Artist but dont think I'm quite there yet however I have worked in a new way for me. Well now I must go and do more packing, will it never end!!!!Hope you enjoyed your visit, come again.
Take Care
