Today I’ve decanted needles into this pretty Victorian carved bone umbrella needle case, appropriately, as the rain drums down outside. Publication week! It is beautiful symmetry that this week a first piece of work from my Masters Dissertation was published in the academic journal Quilt Studies #bqsg at the same time as my MA by Research degree was officially conferred by @oxfordbrookes . Day 10 and finally it’s my #apinchofmotheringquilt . Day 9. This is my #norwayquilt a cosy winter stalwart. Day 8. This is my #themidsummerharvestquilt .

Day 6 of the Artists Challenge and this is my #wastenotwantnotquilt . Day 5 of the Artists Challenge and this is my #hawickquilt .
