Inchies

Life has been rather hectic lately. I have spring cleaned the house and the garden is finished at last! The weather has been gorgeous here this past few days but today is a little overcast.

Norman bought me a new laptop. I thought about getting a Mac but ended up with Vista. 200Gb disk so I have loads of disk space and boy does it fly. My old laptop was struggling a little with PSP, well it is 5 years old, but this one is a flying machine and has a 15" wide screen. Norman set it up on the network and I have almost installed all the software I use. I managed to get some time in my studio today. We are doing an "inchies" challenge with the Textile Challenge group. I have never done these before so I am just having a little practice before I start on the ones I will be sending to the ladies in my group.


















I have been playing around with all sorts of things on these little 1" squares. I used fast2fuse and ironed a piece of cotton to it in the colour of choice of each group member.















I then gathered together all the beads and things I could find in the colour of choice. That took the longest time. I found things I had forgotten I had!



















I still have stitching and finishing to do but I think I can use some of these ideas in the ones I am going to send out. My work is getting smaller and smaller!!!! From king sized quilts I then started on Journal Quilts then it was fabric postcards with ART2MAIL. I did a few ATCs and now these little 1" squares. These are so many wonderful ideas out there.
