Inroduction

Welcome to my blog... and to start, a little about my journey here...

I have a background in costume design and I have been making dolls for many years. My recent creations are an eclectic mix of contemporary, fantasy and historically styled dolls. I also love creating anything with fabric, particularly quilting and I'm enjoying experimenting with different styles and designing unique items.


In this blog I will share info, tips and tricks that I have learnt over the years and also pics and even a few patterns, so please check back often to see what's new....

Dream Machine...

This is my newest toy... a Janome Atelier 5. It's a fabulous machine, a good all rounder and I'm really looking forward to many happy hours of creating with it. 
So far I've made some simple quilted storage baskets and I'm impressed with how easy it is to use. At one point it was sewing through 6 layers of fabric and wadding with no problem at all.
