Sewsister

From looking at 'popular posts' and even my stats I can see that a lot of people have been dropping by my blog and reading about my lovely friend Sue or 'Sewsister' as she is known. I cannot blame you at all for eagerly reading and looking at the pictures of her work. She is fab! Such a talented lady, always a kind and encouraging word or more when it comes to creating. Recently I visited Farnham Maltings to see the Festival of Crafts which she was taking part in. Not only were there many wonderful stands there but more importantly to me I was excited to see what new things Sue had on display. What can I say?! I was not disappointed in the least.

Fab signage and how can you not like Sue's cute owl logo?!!

A glorious stand packed full of goodies

One of the beautiful fabric collages, they all have a story

Bundles of bright fun fabrics

Another fabulous fabric collage, cakes yum!

The amazing Giraffe which everyone was invited to help decorate over the weekend. Decopatch is addictive and fun!

One very cute and very large bunny, you need to cuddle these and will instantly feel better!

Apologies for my somewhat dark photos. It has to be said that the lighting there wasn't the best. That coupled with me still getting to grips with my camera doesn't make for perfect photos just yet! Anyway I hope you enjoy these photos of Sewsister, Sue is one talented and fantastic lady. Be sure to drop by her website for a peek, it is something she is constantly updating and building on. You can even book a 'Workshop Visit' to be all creative with her. I am hoping to make a date with her to visit her studio as I am sure it well be an absolute box of inspiring creative delights! x

Sue Allan - sewsister

A little bit delayed in posting about Sue Allan's work, but at least better late than never! Sue was on the stand next to me at the Contemporary Textiles Fair and aside from being a very lovely person, cheery, smiley and bubbly, she is also a very talented lady!

My pics probably aren't as good as they should be and don't do justice to Sue's work, so apologies, but believe me her work is lovely.

Full of charm, quirky and individual. Her art dolls art just exquisite, such detail and so beautiful. Her sock and fabric creatures are all such characters and full of personality, you need to have one in your life! 

Her wall art pieces are also fab. She has stitched collage fabric pieces as well as these quirky button ones below. All of the buttons Sue has made herself before assembling them as art pieces.

Introducing you to.................................... Lucy! My lovely parents and sister bought me her, Lucy is just too great for words! And Sue was happy that Lucy had gone to a good home, what a nice thing to say.

So please take some time out and nip on over to Sue's website and take a look at her work - Sewsister

You won't be disappointed.

And finally totally unconnected! A pic of the scrummy (according to my Mum & Dad!) lemon and lime drizzle cake I baked and took home to them the other weekend. Mum was disappointed I hadn't put a pic of it on my blog so she could show her friend, so here it is Mum! x
