Here goes! My first post.

What better way to start my return to creativity than by visiting the Knitting and Stitching Show at Alexandra Palace last week. A stunning location with equally stunning views over London.

Canary Wharf in the distance.

 

I've always wanted to try my hand at making a patchwork quilt and as an old friend of mine is having a baby in January, I thought a baby blanket would be a good starter project. I picked up these scraps plus some pretty sequins which I hope to put to good use on another project. I also got some wadding to make the quilt.

The day was one of the last sunny ones we'll have for a while, but helped to show off one of the best bits of Ally Pally. HUGE windows.

I've got a bit of a thing for buildings too. Particularly, old and beautiful ones. I've been told in the past to take more photos of people!
