My Ichie Quilts book arrived today soI had some time out, mmmmmmmmm dont know if its quite what I expected however the inchies are lovely and the quilts look good.I have learned at least one new thing from the book, use a smaller satin stitch than the one I was useing, and it does make them look better.I think like most things its practise but they are fun to make which ever way you make them. In the book they are made from a single piece of fabric either just cut at random or fussy cut, in a tutorial I saw on line they used fusible to make fabric from lots of bits, while this is great fun it does mean there is a lot of "glue" so the needle gets gummed up fast.All I need now is TIME to try out all the things I want to try.I have looked and found wool tops, plain and coloured to use in my hand felting, now that I have a hand felting tool.This is an attempt to do something creative in a very small space. We are off to meet up with friends for a meal at a local restuarant so more time out (from packing!!!!) Its only 8 weekst to move day and I know it will fly so I am really trying hard to organise everything but some things will have to besorted at the lastminute.Time to go out now, you take care, and call again
