a journey of self discovery. You just never know what we might see. Is that a fairy ring under that rowan tree? Look! - a hedgewitch, I wonder what she is brewing in her cauldron today. Oh, and look at that poor menopausal soul, she needs our love & understanding. We may take a stop at the creativity school or a wander through the garden. And maybe, we will take the time machine back to the past! But wherever we go, we will always take time to stop for tea.

Location: Katoomba, NSW, Australia

here I am in a little cottage that evokes the energies of my ancestral lands - a cottage on the moors of Cornwall, or on the cliff tops of Ireland or Scotland. It has a hearth. I am a hedge witch {of sorts}. I wear upcycled clothes, patchouli oil and Redback boots. I am a gypsy; an eccentric and a mystic [I often live with a foot in two worlds]. I serve my guests, tea from an old silver teapot. I love Vervain, yarrow, chamomile & mint. Star watcher and Moon gazer. story cloth weaver. keeper of family dreams and wishes. good friend and creator of life. herbal tea drinker and potion maker.

# 1 ~ friendship Piece ~ flower girl

I am taking part in a friendship quilt and we have to make one 6 x 6 fabric block per month. Seeing as I am on an absolute roll here, I am making all of mine now and will just keep them til they need to be sent out. I am so excited about this and having a ball designing and creating. I don't usually post swaps before they are received but the recipient of this one has assured me she doesn't mind. It is nearly finished, I just need to find some embellishment for it - I wanted words on cotton tape but I just can't find them here. I can't use stamping, 'cause this piece needs to be able to be washed. the gal who this is for, loves pink, purple & flowers ~ so I have named this one - flower girl. I painted the face myself but I think I still need to put pupils on the eyes. so ~ here is my first 6 x 6 - flower girl :

Lovely, oh it is so exciting seeing what you are all up to. Are you using beads as pupils? I have to admit I know what sort of design I am doing for everyone, though of course I knew before everyone else, seeing I was organising it, who was taking part and have had time to mull designs over in my head. Love xx

This reminds me of the movie "How to Make an American Quilt" with Wynona Ryder and many others. If any quilt maker has never seen it, it is a must see. I once made a quilt, spread size, of all finished 1 inch squares. By the time I was well (very laid up in the making), I couldn't look at it and never did the inside and backing. I gave it to a friend who threw a shower for me when I was PG with my daughter. Just sharing a memory.

It's beautiful - you are very talented - gives me inspiration to go out and do something like this - only hope inspiration is the main ingredient as I don't appear to have too much talent in this area!!

What a lovely piece you've made for the quilt...it's simply wonderful!! Daisy had asked me to participate but I don't sew (except to hem pants! lol) and I've never tried anything like this so I had to pass:-( Would love to see the finished quilt though!! Hugs xox

can you rub permanent marker on a stamp with words and them apply to the cotton tape? the permanent marker should hold between washings...
