Owls Woodland Quilted Panel

I was asked by a friend to create this Owls Woodland Quilted Panel for a family expecting a new baby. So the panel features an owl for each member of their family. I wanted it to be gender neutral so I used a woodland type of colour palette using lots of different bits of fabric and felt.  I'm really pleased with how it turned out and so are the family I hope!
These are the same owls I designed for a nursery hanging mobile, see it here.

Traditional Christmas Wreath Workshop

Yesterday I took part in a Traditional Christmas Wreath workshop in Frome, hosted by Grace from Bramble & Wild, a lovely Artisan florist in Frome. I'm really pleased with the result although it was surprisingly hard work!! My wreath features Blue Spruce and some other Christmas Tree bits, Cypress fronds, Juniper, Dries Lotus pods, mini pumpkin things (can't remember what they're called, possibly Pompelos?!) and dried green oranges. Oh and Pine cones. Hopefully now I can make wreaths of my own without supervision but that will have to wait until next year!
