City and Guilds Patchwork and Quilting FORM MODULE


I am really enjoying this module - and I have almost completed it. Here is the resolved piece. We had to make a 3-D scene based on a landscape view. I chose the view from the end of my street - the viaduct (was a train line - now a cycle track- or it will be when they reopen it).This is the 3D scene that I made from painted card and acetate. It fits in a C6 envelope.
This is the view from the top showing the zigzag sides and the layers mounted on the folds so that it folds out to be a 3D scene and then folds flat for storage inside the envelope.


Knitting

As you can see I am not a very frequent blogger, but that doesn't mean that I am not constantly making stuff.... Have a look at my latest knitting projects....
Mrs Pig was knitted by my 83 year older mother for my friends new grandson. Mum has been knitting these little pigs for almost 50 years since the pattern was first published in Woman's Weekly.
My lovely son took this photo of the Chunky cardigan I knitted last month. It is probably the nicest thing I have ever knitted for myself. And it fits really well!!
This little waistcoat is knitted in double knitting yarn and is my own pattern. It worked quite well - considering I have never designed my own knitting before.
