"Toro, toro, toro!", my latest quilt, bonded satin stitch applique on large log cabin blocks. The silhouette is of course the famous Osborne bull seen outside so many Andalucian towns. January 2008.

A brightly coloured log cabin quilt, in the traditional straight furrows set. This quilt was brought from England as a UFO and finally dug out and completed over the Christmas and New year period, 2007/8.

This dress was made for my daughter to wear last Halloween, 2007. It uses techniques including rotary cutting, machine paper piecing, and English paper piecing both by hand and machine. It's loosely based on Simplicity pattern 4046.

A quilt I made for my son in 2002. I split the traditional interlocking Maple Leaf design into regular squares and triangles, and used machine paper piecing to get it all working together (actually there's a bit where the colours went wrong...but nobody's noticed out loud.)

A cross stitch sampler which took me nearly 17 years to complete! I haven't yet decided what to do with it, I don't want to frame it and need to find some Christmassy artifact which it can decorate. I seem to have lost most of whatever faith I had over the period; I'm left as a vaguely deistic Anglican (which probably means I'm ideally suited to becoming a bishop of the Church of England.)

A needlepoint cushion, made from a Glorafilia kit, which I embroidered in 1990. As well as traditional tent stitch it uses other canvaswork stiches including brick stitch, satin stitch and loads of horrible French knots.

My very first quilt, made in 1989 whilst I was pregnant with my first child. It's very faded now. The original colours were quite bright blues and pinks. My daughter used it as a cot quilt and play mat. The layout of the log cabin blocks is called "pinwheel" but with the fading it looks a bit too much like swastikas, oh dear.
