Printing fabric today for a quilt I've been working on quietly over the last few weeks. The project is called COMFORT BLANKET. It combines thoughts of home and nostalgic memories that comfort. The slow and calming processes of hand stitching and (literally) hand printing the quilt help me to feel comforted as I make the piece of work.

NO PLACE LIKE HOME:
Just look at the beautiful ruby slippers I found in my local vintage shop @staygoldbedminster - it felt like they calling me (sadly, they're not my size, my daughter is pretty happy with my purchase though!) Did you know that in the original book by L Frank Baum the slippers were silver, but when the film was made they wanted to take advantage of the new technicolour film process so they changed them to red.

DISCARDED KISSES: lipstick blot installation [an ongoing project]
It seems appropriate that this is today's post.
If you would like to be part of this project, please send me your lipstick blot tissues to 40 MOUNT PLEASANT TERRACE, SOUTHVILLE, BRISTOL, BS3 1LF
(it doesn't have to be a perfect print, no judgement here, any colour is good and faded 2nd/3rd blots are all welcome too!)
