Well done Celia, well deserved!
ReplyDeleteThe patchwork is gorgeous and I love the idea of using the pottery dug up in the garden. I find loads too and up till now have used the pieces in the tops of pots. Perhaps I'll have a go at mosaic now. Thanks for the inspiration.
hey thanks! and i love the sashiko...and how you have used the patterns! fab....
ReplyDeleteLove blue...we have loads of blue, purple and white schemes planted here . Other fabulous blues are the Himalayan Poppy and nigella, both of which I'm hoping to put in this year (nigella were in last year, but very sparse).
ReplyDeletegorgeous quilt too x
I am so honoured to be amongst such company. Thank so so much Celia-for the award and for introducing me to some very fine bloggers.
ReplyDeleteThank you Celia - your award was well deserved. I love these blue photos - especially your recycled quilt.
ReplyDeleteYou deserve to win an award for creativity and design. Beautiful photos of many of my favourite blue flowers and I love the stitching project, you have used great materials. Very handy to have soil full of broken china, mine is full of old terracotta. I would like to smash some plates, just to make a pot like yours. x
ReplyDeleteYes, you are deserving of the Arte y Pico honour.
ReplyDeleteI love the sashiko!And your mosaic, but I'm not about to smash my willow pattern to make one!
This blue collection is so inspiring! I love blue flowers... especially Forget-Me-Nots and the blue-purple in Passion Flower.
ReplyDeleteI'm crazy about the sashiko, and the fact you recycled the fabric, nice!

You are such an inspiration! Your work is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful and inspiring post! Thanks very much for the award, too. I'm overwhelmed with finishing illustration assignments for now, but I'll try hard to pass the honors on to five others very soon.
