Janome Embroidery Machine

I painted this shamrock using a stencil cut from freezer paper and using an old tooth brush I applied the Markal paint sticks. I then used my new embroidery machine to write the Ireland underneath. This is the first time I have used an embroidery machine and I think I am going to enjoy it.
I will give more details about the machine in my next blog. If you would like to connect with Seams Sew Simple facebook page you can find it at    https://www.facebook.com/Quilts.Patchwork
In the mean time I hope you are all enjoying this wonderful weather. Tip of the Day!  Don't forget your sunscreen.

The Farmers Journal

The Farmers Journal have been running a patchwork project for the last few weeks. I have been buying the issues but have not started the project yet. With so much on the go at the moment it will have to wait for a while. Working on Seams Sew Simple web site at the moment, lots of hard work ahead.

Nature

I took these photo's in my garden a few weeks ago. I love the robin posing in the middle.

What a great place to find inspiration.
