Erin's Hummingbird, fantasic first atempt

Sue's Heron with atitude

Sue's Grouse, lovely colors.

Another Sues Curlew, splashing about in the waves.

Wendy's amazing Carp, this was quite large and a challenge but worth it.

Susan's Kingfisher, eye to be added later.

Yes I really did have 4 sue's on the course.

Tixall Village hall, a lovely venue, very light and just the right size, lots of parking at the back.

Commission for Nate on his naming day.

My best friend John requested this commission for one of his friends childs naming day, I don't do much of this sort of thing but enjoyed it, hope he likes it.

I have been very bad at doing my blog, but I have done a workshop for Stafford College and 2 for The Corner Patch at Eccleshall. I have another workshop at Tixall Stafford on 23rd March which is nearly booked up. My web site is not working at the moment so will blog a bit more to compensate.

Copies

Guess it's a compliment when someone copies your work but it doesn't feel like it when someone does a workshop then starts selling poor copies of your work at vintage and craft fairs. If they don't have JH on them they are not mine unless she is forging my initials as well.

New patchwork cushions

Hi been busy making some new cushions, made 6 and they are in 'Gallery at 12' Eccleshall, here are my favourite two. They are 18" x 9" and cost £40.00.

Also made some new cards, using some fabrics I screen printed on an embroideres guild workshop a few months ago. They are A5 size so quite large and would be ideal for putting in a frame.
